Brush, pencil and stabilization
Control how your mouse or pen responds.
4 min
Press B for Brush or Y for Pencil. Click the stroke sample above the canvas to open the library. Search by name or filter by category.
Adjust size, opacity and stabilization. Drag the numeric field handle to change values. Shift refines, Ctrl speeds up and Esc cancels the drag.
Stabilization filters movement while drawing. Vector brush smoothing also reduces jitter in a completed path. Enable pressure for a compatible pen; the mouse uses constant pressure.
Use [ and ] to change diameter. Alt+click samples the canvas color.
