If this setting is too low, your brush strokes might feel too thick and opaque. The default setting is 7%, which produces a relatively realistic brush stroke-like result.



If you set it to 0 %, the brush will only be opaque in its center, and will gradually become transparent towards its edges. If you set it to 100 %, the brush will be completely solid. Use the Hardness slider to set how much of the outer part of your brush tip should fade to transparency.If you want your brush tip to be at an angle, use the Angle slider to rotate your brush tip.If you want your brush tip to have uneven dimensions, use the Roundness slider to shrink the brush tip vertically all the while preserving its horizontal size.If you don't want the pressure on your pen to affect the brush size, set this parameter to 100%. The minimum size is set to a percentage of your brush tip's maximum size, which is 25% by default. If you are using a pressure-sensitive pen tablet, use the Minimum Size slider to set the size of your brush when using your pen with very little pressure.When drawing with a pressure-sensitive pen tablet, your brush's size will range between its minimum and maximum size, depending on the amount of pressure you put on the pen when drawing. Also, if you're drawing for digital animation and intend to use the Auto-Patch effect to connect the parts of your character model, you should use pencil lines for the Auto-Patch effect to work as expected.NOTE: When drawing with a mouse, your brush is always at its maximum size. The pencil line is more appropriate for the final line of your clean drawings. Transparent pencil lines may not display the way you want when they overlap: If you sketch a drawing using a semitransparent colour to get a paper-like feel, you should use the Brush tool, as it produces a more realistic and natural feel. You can also convert a brush zone into a pencil line with the Brush Stroke to Pencil Line option.If you draw with the Pencil tool and want to modify the thickness variation, use the Pencil Editor tool.If you draw with the Brush tool and want to modify the thickness variation, use the Contour Editor tool.This means that a pencil line’s control points (used to deform its shape) are located along the length of the central spine, while the Brush line’s control points are located along the contour. The Pencil and shape tools produce central vector lines. The Brush tool produces contour vector lines. Both tools support pressure sensitivity, allowing you to create lines with variable thickness. The Brush and Pencil tools are used for drawing and sketching.
