First rule: Gimp is not Photoshop. You might end up with a similar result but getting there can be very different.
Second rule. Do not look at PS tutorials other than for that end result. There are no exact equivalents to adjustment / effect layers.
Third rule: Do not harp on about "when I used PS but now (sob) I have to use Gimp."
Probably not, but it is so easy to make brushes and patterns and the golden rule - experiment.
Since we are using Gimp 2.10 then I might use the random colour dynamic. Random is not very random, just goes between FG and BG colour. A brush, chalk brush maybe. this is an animated brush, a gih which adds a bit of variation to the brush shape.

Tip: By default Gimp saves settings between sessions. That dynamic setting will came back to haunt you. It is possible to set Gimp up so that it starts up with a defined setup. All depends on the user.
The tutorial you referenced is very nice, in fact I dumped it to a PDF for reference. The author does use a drawing tablet, so much is artistic ability.

Quote:...snip...Is Gimp able to reproduce these settings without having to make a special brush, special filter or layer setting?
