Use this for drawing hair. Use with smudge tool for nice soft effects. Set spacing to 1.0 for smoother effect.
Just let me know how you used it and how you like it.
Instructions:
1) Click the "Download" Button to your Right. 2) Save to folder of your choice 3) Unzip the contents 4) Just place them into (copy to) your Gimp brushes folder and chose them from the brushes menu. (in Linux it is in: /home/<your username>/.gimp-2.2, in Windows it's in C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\.gimp-2.2)
You may also have to check off a box (or make sure it's checked off) in the "Folders" section of Gimp (Start Gimp up > File > Preferences > Go down to "Folders" and there will be check boxes that you have to click on.) Otherwise, the contents of the Brushes folder will not show up. See this screenshot for an idea of what to expect: [link] ---- For Gimp 2.6 (thanks to GimpTalk Forums [link]) put them in C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\.gimp-2.6\brushes. Or even better is add new folders and link them from the Gimp preferences .( Edit/preferences/folder ) For Windows 7 users, the brushes need to go in C:\users\<name here>\.gimp 2.6\brushes . --------- If you still don't understand, see this video by Rich of the Gimp User Group: [link]

Go into the Brush tab of your toolbox and there should be a slider that says, "Spacing" at the bottom of that box. Slide it to the left until it says, 1.0.
The stroke won't be completely smooth. For a smoother look, get the brushes from this set: [link] Those are not "animated" but the same rule applies: set spacing slider to 1.0 for a smoother look.
