Using The Optional Airbrush And Art Pen - Wacom Intuos4 Large User Manual

USING THE OPTIONAL AIRBRUSH AND ART PEN

The optional Intuos4 Airbrush works like the Grip Pen, but also includes a fingerwheel for an additional
degree of control.
With proper software support, you can simulate realistic airbrushing. For example, tilting the Airbrush can
cause the spray pattern to elongate and feather out. Rolling the fingerwheel adjusts the spray intensity, and
pressure on the tip controls the brush size.
Hold the Airbrush with your thumb and middle finger. The fingerwheel should be in a convenient location for
you to roll it with your index finger. Tilt the Airbrush to find a comfortable position that allows you to paint and
draw with pressure sensitivity.

Fingerwheel
Roll the fingerwheel backwards to increase ink flow
or brush size, and forward to reduce it.
Your index finger should operate the wheel
independently of the pressure you apply to the tip.

Important: When the Airbrush or Art Pen is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the
sensitivity of your tool, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser. Leaving an
Intuos4 tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing
devices.

Does not support rotation.
The Art Pen supports 360 degrees of rotation around the
pen axis. As you draw within an application that supports
rotation sensitivity, simply twist the Art Pen to create lines
that narrow or broaden.
For example, while painting you can vary the rotation of a
non-circular brush to change the stroke thickness.
Depending on the brush shape characteristics you have
selected in your application, you can simulate calligraphy
pens, broad felt tip markers, and any other non-circular
brushes or tools.
