For your painter software users to detailed analysis to share the Brush Variation Setup Basic Tutorial.
Variant (variant) is painter unique brush special noun, painter 8 is unprecedented in the built-in more than 400 varieties.
In fact, the more than 400 kinds of brushes are a certain law can be followed, there are a lot of duplicate type effect of the brush, so I personally think that these 400 brushes should at least play a fold.
I've sorted out some of the more frequently used words in these variants to help you understand some of the brushes ' properties and painting effects.
Pencil tools We are familiar with, painter 8 pencil has many categories, also have different painting effects. For example, "2B Pencil" (2B pencil), which is the most conventional brush, its characteristics are relatively close to the traditional pencil tool, the stroke overlay will have a deeper effect. So how does this effect work? "Ctrl+b" opens the "Brush Creator" (Brush designer) and, in general, looks at the options for method (category). The default option is "Buildup" (overlay), which enables you to add and deepen the strokes. (as shown in Figure 1.4.1.1)
Another kind of pencil variant "Cover Pencil" (covers the pencil) The stroke effect is smoother and even, has no superposition effect, and has the covering function, the light color may overlay in the dark.
The option for us to look at its "method" (category) is "Cover" (overlay), and this category option can make the stroke overlay. "Buildup" (overlay) is not covered, so when you use the "2B Pencil" type of "Buildup" category of pencil is not painted white strokes, so in the concrete painting must be familiar with these 2 attributes.
Usually "Cover" better Control, "Buildup" because there is no covering ability is relatively difficult to control, but "Buildup" the sense of transparency is significantly better than Cover, this depends on the actual needs of individuals and personal preferences. (as shown in Figure 1.4.1.2)
With "Pencil" as a variant name, there are also many brushes, such as "charcoal" (charcoal), where the half variants are pencil types! In short, the variant of the "Pencil" class is usually not larger than the size of 7. (as shown in Figure 1.4.1.3)
The eraser is well known, and its main function is to remove stains (as shown in Figure 1.4.2.1).
However, in the painter different brushes will have different eraser, some eraser is dedicated. For example, "Water Color", you need a special eraser. (as shown in Figure 1.4.2.2)
Painter 8 has many variants with the words "Round", which are literally not hard to understand, and often the strokes of such variants are pudgy. More than 80% of the "Round" Variants of "Dab type" (pen tip types) are "circular" (circular) (shown in Figure 1.4.3)
Such variants are usually defined by the captured custom pen shape. The strokes of the painting are rectangular, and feel more hale and strong. (as shown in Figure 1.4.4)
Usually this variant can draw a relatively slender stroke. (as shown in Figure 1.4.5)
This variant is somewhat different from the "Sharp", which can be used to draw strokes that vary with the pressure of the tapered, depending on the pressure-sensing of the digital plate. In the size block, we see the setting of min size (minimum size) less than 100%. The 2 circular icons on the left represent the "Min Size" in the middle black dots. Min size is the stroke size that is drawn at the lightest point of pressure sensing. (as shown in Figure 1.4.6)
The strokes drawn by such variants usually do not have the thickness of the pressure-induced changes because their percentage of "Min Size" is 100%. So some friends often wonder, why I use the pressure stroke does not have the thickness of the line, one of the reasons is "Min Size" percentage setting. (as shown in Figure 1.4.7)
Variants with the word "Soft" are usually softer, with the charcoal brush as the main description. The degree of "Soft" depends on the percentage setting of the "grain" (particle). The larger the "grain" the softer, the more sensitive it will be to the paper texture. We see that the grain setting of the "Soft charcoal" (flexible charcoal) is 100%. (as shown in Figure 1.4.8)
In contrast to "Soft", variants of the "Hard" attribute are usually very sensitive to paper lines, such as "Round Hard Pastel 10" (Round hard pink crayon 10th), and its "grain" (particle) percentage is 12%. The percentage of "grain" is an important option that determines the stroke texture, and is usually more effective for variations of the Chalk class. (as shown in Figure 1.4.9)
Variants with grainy words are usually related to paper-grain performance, take "dull grainy Chalk 30" (Blunt-Head granule 30th) For example, its "subcategory" (subcategory) is "grainy Hard Cover" (hard particle cover), " The percentage of grain "is 10%. The strokes are painted with strong-class paper-grain effects. The choice of "grainy" and "Paper" (paper grain) is also very related. (as shown in Figure 1.4.10)
Such variants usually require a digital board such as a shadow to be used perfectly, because its "size Expression" (size representation) is "Tilt" (italic). Variations of this type can change the appearance of the dimensions depending on the inclination of the pressure pen. Because I am using an extraordinary digital board, there is no way to embody this feature. (as shown in Figure 1.4.11)
"Bristle" (bristle brush)
The variant of the word "bristle", especially in brush brushes, has a lot in the same category. It is characterized by a clear brush, if the pressure-sensitive pen has tilt induction, in the tilt of the rotation pressure pen, the hair will open, very similar to the traditional bristle brush effect. (as shown in Figure 1.4.12)
The variant of "Camel" is more supple and natural than "bristle", which many people like to use. (as shown in Figure 1.4.13)
"Flat" the character of the variant is the shape of the stroke direction of change, horizontal direction can draw a generous strokes, vertical strokes will soon shrink. (as shown in Figure 1.4.14)
"Oil pastel" (oily chalk) is the most CG enthusiasts compare the pen brush, because its strokes with a certain viscosity and process color effect. So how do you set this feature? In the "Well" block, we see that the value of "bleed" (permeability) is significantly greater than the "resaturation" (saturation).
"Bleed" control the permeability of pigments, the higher the numerical value, the more obvious the process color effect. "Resaturation" Controls color saturation and flow, the smaller the number, the lighter the color. So the secret of "oil pastel" is in these 2 settings. High "bleed" and Low "resaturation" settings can make any variation of the chalk type oily.
In the "Expression" option of "bleed" Select "Pressure" (pressure), the back of the check box is counterproductive meaning, in order to meet the normal painting habits, check the reaction, you can feel lighter when the process with more intense color mixing effect. (as shown in Figure 1.4.15)
"Smeary" type of variant is also an oily embodiment, but also high "bleed" and Low "resaturation" set to make the brush strokes have obvious color mixing effect. (as shown in Figure 1.4.16)
"Palette knife" (color knife)
(Toner knife) is also a variant with such oily properties, so that the toner tool can be more smooth mixing the stroke color block. (as shown in Figure 1.4.17)
This kind of variation of texture and oily variant of the texture is just the opposite, in order to get a smooth stroke color, "resaturation" of the value of 100%, "bleed" The value of 0, such strokes do not have the color mixing effect, more suitable for uniform flat coating. (as shown in Figure 1.4.18)
In order to simulate the real humidity brush, but also with high "bleed" and Low "resaturation" settings. The check box for "Brush Loading" (Brush-mount) allows each pen to be stained with a different color, and the strokes can have subtle color changes. (as shown in Figure 1.4.19)
In variants of "Oils" (oil pen), "gouache" (Water chalk), "arcylics" (acrylic brush), the words "thick" are often seen. This variant can produce a thick-coated effect, and the thick-coated properties are set in the "Impasto" (thick-coated) block. The value of Depth (depth) determines the degree of thickness coating, the larger the number, the stronger the effect of the thick-coated brush. (as shown in Figure 1.4.20)
Well, the above information is small set to you painter of this software users of the detailed brush variation settings of the basic tutorials to analyze the entire content of the share, you see the users here, small knitting believe you are now very clear method of drawing Hope that the above tutorial can bring you useful help.
