When it’s a pencil, or a pen, or a piece of chalk! Painter uses the term brush in a generic way to refer to everything used for drawing and painting on your digital canvas. ![]() That black rectangle means the Design Marker has a chisel shape. Figure 1.4 shows that the Design Marker (20 pixels size) in the Felt Pens category is the current “brush.” Each category has a distinctive icon, and the shape of the variant’s tip is also shown. It has two sections: one for the category and the other for the specific variant within that category. You’ll choose your digital “brush” with the Brush Selector Bar in the upper-right corner of the Painter workspace. They differ greatly in the kinds of marks they can make and the type of material they can mark: paper, canvas, or boards, with various surface textures. Traditional (analog) tools for drawing and painting include a wide variety of pencils, pens, brushes, and sticks. The marks you make with your Wacom pen can imitate virtually any traditional art materials. Pressure sensitivity enables you to control the width and/or opacity of your stroke by varying how hard you press the tip of the pen to the tablet as you work.

Working with Painter, you will have only one actual tool in your hand- the Wacom pen. If all you want to do is draw and paint, you can ignore all the other choices in the Toolbox for quite a while. Make sure the Brush tool is selected, as shown in Figure 1.2. (I’ll talk about customizing palettes later.) You’ll see the vertical Toolbox on the left side of your screen. All palettes are listed in the Window menu and can be organized any way you like. In addition to your canvas, the Painter workspace consists of several palettes offering brushes and other art supplies as well as special features and commands. Earlier versions of Painter use “Show” and “Hide” to indicate a palette’s visibility. Palettes that are open have a check mark next to their name in the list. If you don’t see a palette you need, scroll down the list in the Window menu until you find it. (Pixels and resolution are explained in the Appendix.)Ĭhoose size and resolution for your new canvas. We’ll use 72 ppi most of the time, so you’ll be able to see the whole image on screen without scrolling and you can work faster. The New dialog box, shown in Figure 1.1, lets you enter height, width, and resolution for the image. If you don’t get a Welcome screen, just choose File > New ( Cmd/Ctrl+N). When the Welcome screen comes up, choose Create New Document. In just a few minutes, you’ll be able to create digital scribbles as good as this! So, launch your Painter program and let’s get started.

But trust me, there are some tasty appetizers in those opening remarks. If you didn’t read the Introduction, I admire your eagerness to get right to the main course.
