Painting and patterns

Erodible brush tips
Erodible pencils and pastels wear down naturally with use. Customize Brush Tip Shape options: Softness controls the rate of
wear, Shape provides settings from flat to round, and Sharpen Tip returns to original crispness. As you paint, watch the amount of wear with the
Live Brush Tip Preview to the upper left of the image.
Choose Window > Brush Presets to quickly access new erodible tips, or Window > Brush to customize them. For more information,
see Erodible Tip options.
Airbrush tips
Airbrush tips replicate spray cans with a 3D conical spray. Customize Brush Tip Shape options like Granularity, Spatter, Hardness,
and Distortion controls. With a stylus, alter the spread of sprayed strokes by changing pen pressure.
Choose Window > Brush Presets to quickly access new airbrush tips, or Window > Brush to customize them. For more information
see, Airbrush Tip options.
Brush pose
Specify the stylus tilt, rotation, and pressure. Choose Window > Brush, and select Brush Pose to paint with a specified tilt, rotation, and
pressure. Use a stylus to change the stroke relative to the default pose, or select Override options to maintain a static pose. For more information,
see Brush pose options.
Brush projection
Use Brush Projection to apply stylus tilt and rotation to tip shapes. Choose Window > Brush, and select Shape Dynamics from the list at left. At
the bottom of the options at right, select Brush Projection. As you paint with a stylus, changes to tilt and rotation alter the tip shape. See Brush
