default ones ;)

[Hootnnuts]

chalk is best. and use like 20-30 strength. and also i found a really good setting with a hard brush but i forgot.

[Flow]

ya i use a chalk brush with some scatter

[hellraid]

there is other brushes that are usable cept the chalks :)

Mess around with the opacity, this is key because if it is too high, it drags the whole image too far.

[Flow]

you mean strength 0.o?

[Carbon]

Yea that lol, i thought it was opacity my bad

bah ill just quote myself:
Well to be honest i dont really use other people's smuge settings, it makes u tag lack originality.
Just take out different brushes (usually hard/soft/chalk brushes)
and change all the settings around and test them out.
Then use assorted brushed for extra texture and try out different strengths.[/b]

then why are you getting smudge lessons at GR lmao

Personally i get custom brushes i download in packs, change the attributes of them and lower the opacity to about 60%. Don't use circular brushes, you get a better effect for say arrows ;)

[Hootnnuts]

i get best effects with circle brushes :/

[mw.Kris]

I don't, smudging with circular brushes don't really give good effects imo.
Using different brushes like wireframe brushes and then smudging with them at a small size give you a cool effect ;)
See my ratchet & clank sig ?
