In PS, drawing tools are used to draw lines, ropes, flowers, and, on the other hand, to color or mix colors on the area. Proficiency in drawing tools is a necessary step for every designer.

Brush tool

The enemy, win. Similarly, in order to master the Brush tool in a comprehensive way, you must first understand what the brush tool in PS is. The brush tool uses a preset brush in brush presets, which can define the characteristics of any brush, such as size and shape.

PS in the brush is very many, complicated, each shape is different. If you put a brush's SMB on the canvas, its shape will immediately appear. For brushes, this is just a rough explanation, and you can make an impression in your mind first.

Unlike real brushes, Photoshop brushes can have a lot of magical properties, and by manipulating them you can create unique brushes that belong to you. Besides, you can change the shape and size of the brush according to the requirement of drawing, and a brush can develop freely in any direction, and can even become transparent. So say, only you can not think of, no it can't change.

Eraser tool

For eraser tool, do not need me to tell too much, you can use skillfully, why so? Because the eraser tool, like other PS tools, has different size, shape, and hardness of the brush can be selected. When necessary, it can be as precisely controlled as a brush tool, except that it is erased rather than painted.

Note: If you use the eraser directly on the background layer, the color you rub out is the background color, so before you can use the eraser on the background layer, you should set the back colors.

Paint Bucket Tools

The role of the paint bucket tool is to fill an area with color. It can be filled with the foreground color, or you can use the color bar to take the colors. Using the Paint bucket tool is simple, you just need to set a foreground color according to your needs, and then click on the area you want to fill.
