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:

Brush Tracking

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 =)

This is a strange, wild brush, and it may require some time to adjust to. No matter what you try, the resulting stroke will go places where you probably don’t expect it to; when it works, the result will be somehow impressionistic.

You can see the Steal Gogh Brush in action here and here. I also used it to paint this one.
