Paint connection line, which toggles the visibility of the connection line.

In addition, you have access to two checkboxes:

Curves opacity dynamics: use this to vary Curves opacity dynamically.

With low opacity, this will produce the illusion of thinner curve lines.

Curves opacity: you can't set different line widths for the connection line and the curve lines, but you can set a different opacity for the curve lines.

Unless you're drawing at really high resolutions.

So in fact, you'll get maximum curve lines area with a mid-value of say.

On the other hand, if you set this value too high, the curve lines will only start forming relatively 'late'.

If you set this at low values, then the curve lines can only form over a small distances, so they won't be too visible.

History size: this determines the distance for the formation of curve lines.

Line width dynamics: use this to vary line width dynamically.

Line width: this applies to both the connection line and the curve lines.

You have access to 3 settings from the Lines tab, as well as 2 corresponding dynamics: Drawing faster gives you wider curves areas. This also means that if you are drawing a straight line, these lines won't be visible, since they'll overlap with the connection line. The curve lines are formed by connecting one point of the curve to a point earlier on the curve. curve lines I think, which are the extra fancy lines that form at curves.

The connection line, which is the main line drawn by your mouse.

Tutorial: Curve, Particle and Dyna brushesĪll about lines! All three of these brushes produce lines of sorts, so this tutorial tells you the differences! In particular, the Curve brush is my recommended tool for drawing comic and anime lines, unless you're using the more expressive Sketch brush.Īt first glance this may seem like a boring tool merely for decoration effects, but in fact, this is perhaps my favourite tool for drawing smooth, variable-width lines with a mouse (comic lines, basically).įirst off, the line produced by the Curve brush is made up of 2 sections:
