This is from a Chinese Brushes set I created years ago. I used he Ning Yeah custom brush to paint this; you can also see it in action here.
1 SETUP
The Ning Yeh brush requires a particular Velocity setting in the Brush Tracking window. Go to Edit>Preferences>Brush Tracking and change it to something like this:
These are the settings I like, but your mileage may vary.
2 TRICKY USAGE
You may have noticed I like my brushes wild, and the Ning Yeh is no exception. You should then remember your Chinese Calligraphy lessons, embrace your Zen and follow these guidelines:
a. If you want your strokes DARK, make them FAST;
b. If you want your strokes LIGHT, make them SLOW;
c. If you want your strokes THIN, use LIGHT PRESSURE with your stylus;
c. If you want your strokes BROAD, use HARD PRESSURE with your stylus;
That’s mostly it =)
