Free Brush Set: Fine Art Pencils | Autodesk SketchBook

SketchBook presents a free fifteen-piece Fine Art Pencil Set for the desktop app, taken from the tablet app and described as a favorite for sketching. The set is meant to produce realistic pencil sketches, textured painting bases, and shading, while matching the feel of a real pencil and allowing angle and pressure control.

It also gives drawing tips for color layers, blending modes, background colors, messy marks, smudging, soft erasing, and darker grey tones. The post ends with installation instructions for SketchBook Pro members on desktop and mentions a 15-day free trial.
