Hard Brush Challenge Brushes

Master confident, edge-controlled painting with the seven hard-edge brushes I used in my viral “5-Day Hard Brush Challenge.” Each tool was hand-picked to solve a specific step—so you can follow the same workflow and train precision without muddy over-blending.

Brush lineup & purpose

1. Brush Sharp – razor-clean line art and accent cuts
2. Hard Rectangle – bold fills and crisp block-ins
3. (Hard) Studio Pen – controlled curves and cel-shading flats
4. Hairy Flat – bristly highlights and loose strands
5. Oil Pastel – textured mid-tone smears, cloth, skin pores
6. Tapered Cube – angular shadows, form planes, stylised rims
7. Painterly – dry edge strokes for quick value transitions
