:D thank you.
I really like the block brushes. They give such a nice effect.
And you showed me for what the "Ascension" sensor can be used (i never 
could get any useful result for this, until now :D )
I took what i liked and assimilated it into my own brush set :D.
Every digital painter IMHO needs to create his/her own brushes because 
the feeling of those brush presets is pretty personal.
And i have some preferences you don't seem to share :D
For example, i use the "Declination" to change the size o the brush (if 
i hold the pen 90° to the tablet i get a thin and sharp line and the 
more i lean the pen the bigger gets the brush). And for the color smudge 
brush i like it when the color is more "solid", so i mostly have the 
smudge rate around 40-50 and the color rate around 60-80... and when i 
need the color to bleed more into each other i just pull down the 
opacity slider a bit.
Btw: Do you have an "Art Pen" (the one that has an additional rotation 
sensor)? For sketching i activate the gradient option and use this 
option with the rotation of the pen, then i use a gradient that goes 
from black to white (so i can pick the color or better shades of gray 
with the rotation of my pen).

Thx :)
