Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hello! I'm new in TVPaint and I'm doing an animated movie to school.

I want to paint my character with a watercolor brush. I would like to create my own brush with some texture (an image of a texture) in it, but I don't know how to do it. I already searched almost everywhere but nothing. Can anyone help me, please?

Thank you

Did you start on the Tutorials page , the tutorial on "How To Create A Custom Brush" ? That tutorial is about creating a simple brush, not something complex like a watercolor brush with texture , but that should get you on the right path with the basics of how to make a custom brush. (make sure you know about the PAPER panel , too . Using the right Paper can give you texture. See User Manual section 2-14 - through - 2-16 on 'Using Papers' .

Also see this video tutorial by Mark Chong on "Brush Configuration" .

Use the forum search function to search for past topics like 'Watercolor brushes' , 'custom brush creation', 'custom brush settings' . I think you'll find some topics of interest. If you search in the Contents Sharing section of the forum there are already some very nice Watercolor brushes that have been shared. You could either adapt those to the look you want to achieve or at least if you look at the settings of those existing Watercolor brushes it should give you some ideas on how to make your own custom brush settings.
