This brush is useless with a mouse. You need a pressure-sensitive tablet (Wacom, Huion, XP-Pen, or an iPad with Sidecar) to feel the brush "breathe." But what makes it so special

One of the key strengths of the Nikko Rull brush is its use in creating shading and atmosphere. Artists often use it to "splash extra shading around" an illustration to set dark accents and shades. This involves painting shading on a separate layer, using the same brush but perhaps with a lower opacity. Highlights are then added on a new layer on top of everything else, using the same magenta or a lighter color to create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. This layered approach builds depth without losing the expressive, textured feel. Let us know in the comments below
