What is the difference in a bristle brush and a sable brush? When do I use each?
A bristle brush is used mainly for your backgrounds and foregrounds, such as mountains, grass, etc. It can also be used for leafing your trees and scrubbing in your clouds. The sable brushes are used for details, such as tree limbs, fur on animals, feathers, and eye-stoppers (e.g., weeds). Bristle brushes are malleable and can stand a lot of punishment. Sable brushes are very delicate and need more care. They are also more expensive.
