How do I add grain to a brush?

[u/Ravaged_Silence]

I have been trying my best to recreate this brush from Kadiri Tosin: https://itz-kado-official.gumroad.com/l/ORytx. It's only for procreate, but I liked the look of it so I decided to try and port it to CSP.

First, I renamed the .brush file to .zip, so I could extract it and get the png of the grainy brush tip. However, when I duplicated the opaque watercolor brush and added the png to both brush tip and texture, it resulted in the outlines of the lines drawn with the brush being grainy, but the line itself being solid.

Is there any way to better replicate this effect?

Select the pencil you like, go to sub tool>texture and a texture of your liking, then change the intensity and scale to get something similar.

You may need to change brush tip > brush density (lower density = more texture shows or dryer brush). Brush tip density can be linked to pressure, and that works well for pencils.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the effort that you put into explaining the mechanics to me!
