how does your linework have that rough, inky quality to the edges even though it's digital? How do you do it?

The distressed edges of my line art are from the brush I use! It's the Bold Engraver Single from True Grit Texture Supply's Rusty Nib pack (specifically the Procreate version).

I did make some minor adjustments to the grain settings to amp up its texture, but this brush is what gives my lines a roughened look!
