Creating Tactile Drawings First Tactile Lines Once you’ve inserted a Drawing Sheet, and have located the stylus, you’re ready to make a tactile drawing. Hold the stylus like a pen or pencil; we recommend drawing with the pointy-end first; the rounder end requires a little more force. When you have the stylus in hand, try making a tactile line.
Tips for Drawing Lines of Different Heights There are multiple ways to create lines of different heights and definitions on the Sketchpad: Pressure: Pressing harder while drawing will create a more defined tactile line. Experiment with all levels of pressure to get a feel for the types and definitions of lines that are possible Stylus Tip: The stylus included with your sketchpad has two ends, both of which can be used to create tactile lines.
The Sketchpad is designed to be durable, but if dropped from more than 1 foot, damage to the hinges and/or frame may occur. Usage Tips For more tips, FAQs and tutorial videos related to the inTACT Sketchpad, visit www.EasyTactileGraphics.com Sketchpad E.A.S.Y.
