I'm wondering how far you can push the PS brushes - especially with a dual brush and the right blend mode.

I'm trying to see if I can rig up a brush that has more bristles the harder you push. Not bigger ones in a bigger footprint. The same footprint. but more bristles in contact with the canvas.

I'm thinking a random scattering of dots getting dimmer as they get away from the brush center - combined with a dual brush, maybe consisting of a radial grad - combined with an overlay blend mode in the dual brush that drives the different grays to white or to black in different quantities depending on pressure.

Does that make any sense?

I don't need this brush, so I don't need a workaround or solution to a problem. I just want to see what the slickest brush possible is to make.

Any ideas? Any such brushes already in existence?

Something with this sort of behavior changing mechanism - but in a pressure sensitive brush...

Here's my stab at it. The dual brush uses the hard mix blend mode to put more bristles down when subjected to more pressure.
