Let us enable the Rope Mode option, and when you start drawing with it, it will show you this type of anchor point. Next, we discuss the Stabilizer option of the brush parameter. This option adjusts the brush tip’s pressure when we work with a pen device in place of a mouse. Again, you will know these settings by and by. Once you click on it, you will have this dialog box where we can make custom changes in the brush presets, such as some more features here, such as spacing, a ratio of the brush tip, and so on. You can see the outer side of the brush tip is blurred. Now let us decrease the value of Hardness and draw again. The stroke will be very sharp if we draw with a brush tip of 100 % hardness value. If the value is less, then the amount of color coming from the brush tip will be less.īut if we again draw the same stroke in the same place, it will make the brush stroke darker. Next is Flow which is similar to opacity but gives a different effect. If the value is less, you can see its visibility through the brush stroke. The next option is the opacity of the brush stroke. Same as this, if we draw with increased value, then the thickness of the stroke will be more. We will draw it with less thickness, and you can see the width of the stroke is less. There is a slider through which you can increase or decrease the width of the brush tip. The first option is the width of the brush stroke.

Now let us understand all its settings one by one. Once you select it, you will have all its adjustable settings at the top of the working screen below the Menu bar section. Here you will find the Brushes tool with this icon. Now let us go to the Toolbar section on the left side of the working screen.

We have several presets of brushes in the Brushes panel, which you can use per your requirement.
