In today's video I'm testing out some new brushes that Tracy Lebenzon sent me, while explaining how I get used to new brushes in general, and how I test them out.

Things to pay attention to when testing out new brushes:
- Water capacity
- Strength of bristles (soft VS springy)
- Blending ability
- Shape of bristles (flat, round, rigger etc)
- Functionality when producing different kinds of lines
