Flash pencil Drawing Tools Tutorial

Use the Pencil tool to draw lines and other shapes, just like using a real pencil. When the line is drawn, flash will straighten or smooth it out as appropriate. The mode of processing is different from the pattern of drawing lines, and Flash can also connect two lines in a certain angle. This article will introduce you to flash pencil drawing tools.

The Pencil tool is shown in the following illustration.

The Pencil tool is a tool for drawing lines. Holding down the left mouse button and pressing the "Shift" key while dragging, you can draw a horizontal or vertical line, as shown in the following illustration.

After you select the Pencil tool, you can select three different line painting modes in the tool's generic options, as shown in the following illustration.

The straighten mode automatically stretches the line in the drawing process to make it as straight as possible, simply by saying that the straighten pattern can draw straight lines and convert shapes that are approximate to triangles, ellipses, rectangles, and squares into standard geometries.

The smoothing mode allows the line to be smoothed automatically during drawing, making it as curved as possible, and simply smoothing the pattern to draw a smooth curve.

Ink mode is to maintain the original state of the line in the drawing process, that is, the ink mode can draw the line freely.

In addition, you can use the property panel to make stroke color, stroke height (line width), stroke style (linear), or custom stroke style settings for the Pencil tool, as shown in the following illustration.
