Yes, as with all texture intensity brushes these strokes cant be expanded.
Another plus is that you don't have to choose controller type, which I usually forgot to do. Every time having AD just launched I started to use the brush with the controller set to none, pressed cmd+z few times to cancel those strokes I've just done, went to controller drop-down menu, chose pressure and made those strokes again ) Now I have working brushes right from the start )))
I did notice the speed improvement. Even though they cannot be expanded. I am sure it's certainly a useful technique for raster work.

Just built a few brushes using your technique..interesting method and it is certainly quick and smooth. Also gives you the option of adding 'distress' (irregular edges) to a brush. Something that would be very useful.
The only downside is that you do not appear to be able to expand the stroke!

Thanks for the brushes Stuart. I'm going to check them out. Probably very useful for portraits as well.
Excellent...I hope you them useful....These new brush collections were originally based upon a larger set. You might find:
Texture Brushes [Dots] and Texture Brush [Organics 1]
Useful as well
I have been watching your portrait painting evolve...very impressive!

Project Brush Set 03 Big-T
Used to create Big-T
Updated the brush set to version 2 Should work much better now!Changes/improvements as below
Version 2.0
1. Removed old versions redundant now..
2. Made significant changes to the brush dynamics and nozzles. All nozzles are now vector based replacing previous raster versions (as much as possible)
3. There is a significant number of new nozzles for the brushes Which means they are not like original sets..
4. Made use of the 1.7/1.8.2 brush engine in AD/AP using subBrushes.
5. The old brush set was appearing darker and less intense with 1.7/1.8 update...I have fixed that with this version!
6. Updated the Sample sheets to newer (latest) layout..Sub brushes are displayed in red.Archived the Older Brush set and updated Library information
Raster Brushes- Colboy, markw and Polygonius

Hi all,
Second instalment!
Just sharing a new collection of brushes
A streamlined set of 30 brushes used to create 'Crazy Tree' and composed from mixed sources in the Brush Library + new brushes edited/redesigned to assist with painting
PDF sample sheet as attached
Enjoy!

You have to brush them too from time to time

Yeah! I suppose you do ...take a while with the size of these brushes though!

Began adding Style Sets based on vector artwork to the Forum/Resources
Link as below
Enjoy

Just to share these....
A first foray into Styles...using some recent vector drawings...Based on United word prompt for #inktober 2017

Hi...
Graduations can be a bit 'clunky' ..Subtle blends are sometimes better....Try to keep the colour changes on graduated nodes similar/subtle...[not really the case in this instance]
Try layering the gradient ..and make use of the transparency tool
You can get more subtle effects this way
1 Layer red to dark layer (keep the spacing between nodes/steps wide) ..will improve the blending
2. Create an additional layer/s with even darker colour [also graduated] [try mixing colours-dark blue over red can be effective]. (Make use of transparency here) a. set centre to fully transparent (0%) and again keep the nodes/steps wide apart (help with blend smoothing)
3. Repeat 2 for effect and or experiment with layer blend settings to improve depth of colour.
4. Use groupings of the above in layers panel.. This will allow more flexibility in choosing colours (and you can apply transparency/graduated blends)
4 Try a grunge vector overlay set almost transparent (apply group rasterization if you need to....)
