Brushless

Im confused about what is brushless.
Ive heard from other sources that its involved anything with a brush.
So that means erasing,smudging and all that stuff includes brushes.
But then i hear that u can smudge and still make the sig brushless?
Does that also include erasing?

 

I would say the first source is wrong, and that brushless means not using brushes for brushing. Erasing and smudging isnt true brushing...but then again thats just me and i havnt checked the definition in like...3 years.

 

a brush less sig is not using a brush at all...

im pretty sure that includes using a brush to erase/smudge

 

Brushless means the piece doesnt involve any brushes. It could have C4D's, smudging, clipping masks, etc.

 

Dont you like use brushses in smudging though? So that
wouldnt make it brushless right?

 

I thought "brushless" meant not using the brush tool.

 

So did i, but using smudge does use brushes, so i guess there isn't a way of making a truly "Brushless" peice without it being quite bad.

 

i've made a few 'brushless' sigs, without any sort of smuding etc. i wudn't say tht they look bad... basically though they are just manipulations of multiple images
