Daggers can take a little practice, but once you’ve mastered them, they are an incredibly versatile brush. Use the tip for painting long lines, hold the brush at an angle to get varied, abstract lines, and move the brush swiftly across the page for a dry-brush texture.

A great way to get comfortable with a new brush is to run it through its paces. Explore the range of lines and marks you can make by dragging, dashing, pressing, and swirling the brush tip across the page!
