| When sketching, find the balance between quality and
speed. While a small brush stamp bias may improve the smoothness,
it results in slower brush performance; using a large stamp bias
provides additional speed, but may not provide the quality.
|
| Try to avoid big texture brushes that have variable brush
radius or Rotate to Stroke turned on,
as the combination slows performance.
|
| To erase paint, flip the stylus around and use the eraser
function at the end of the stylus.
|
| To quickly switch between painting and erasing using
the same brush, with a brush tool active press and release 1 to
paint, or 2 to erase.
|
| To create a horizontal brush stroke in an orthographic
window, drag the middle mouse button or the equivalent stylus button.
|
| To create a vertical brush stroke in an orthographic
window, drag the right mouse button or the equivalent stylus button.
|
To snap a brush to a curve, click the  button to the right of the
prompt line (or hold down  +  (Windows) or  +  (Mac)).
|
| You can snap a brush to invisible curves (ObjectDisplay
> Invisible) or curves on invisible layers (Layers
> Visibility > Invisible).
|
| You can use any brush as a blur brush, sharpen brush,
smear brush, dodge brush, or burn brush by setting Brush
Mode to Blur, Sharpen, Smear,
Dodge or Burn (respectively) in the Brush
Options window.
|
| To make any brush erase paint, set the Brush Color to
black and set the Color Opacity to 0. (To keep
these settings for the brush, turn on Preserve Color).
|
| To change the colors in the Color Blender, set the current
color (for example, using the RGB or HSV sliders) and then click
a corner square in the Color Blender.
|
| To store the current color in the Color Swatches, drag
the Current Color Swatch over a square on the Swatches board.
