Digital Brushes
Digital Brushes are tools used in digital art software like Photoshop, Procreate, or Clip Studio Paint. They're similar to real-world painting tools but exist in digital form. Artists use these to create artwork on computers or tablets, just like traditional artists use physical paintbrushes. Digital brushes can simulate everything from pencils and watercolors to special effects that aren't possible with traditional media. When you see this term in a resume, it usually means the artist knows how to create, customize, or work with these digital tools to achieve specific artistic styles or effects.
