Pencil Tool

Settings

The following settings can be adjusted from the context toolbar:

• Stroke—the color of your stroke. Click the color swatch to select from solid colors, a picked color, color gradients or from your preset or custom color swatches.
• Width—the line thickness in points. Type directly in the text box or drag the pop-up slider to set the value.
• Sculpt—when enabled, any selected pencil stroke can be reshaped or continued; the former by drawing new start and end stops anywhere along the pencil stroke, the latter by drawing from either stroke end node.
• Controller—controls whether the tool is sensitive to real pressure (Pressure) or speed of mouse movement (Velocity or Inverse Velocity). Select None to use neither.
• Stabilizer—enables stroke stabilization using either a Rope stabilizer or Window stabilizer mode; the former drags the stroke end by a 'rope' to smooth the stroke but lets you introduce sharp corners at increasing rope Length (radius) values by redirecting the slackened rope; the latter will smooth the stroke by averaging sampled input positions within a Window whose size is configurable.
• Use Fill—when checked, the concave area of the stroke is filled with the currently set fill color (from Color panel) as you draw. In Sculpt mode, continuing strokes remains as one object, which allows the fill to be applied along the stroke's length.
