Pattern Pens
Pattern Pens brush variants let you use a brush to apply a pattern to an image. You can
vary features such as the size of the pattern and the transparency. For example,
Pattern Pen Micro decreases the size of the pattern, and Pattern Pen Transparent
applies a semitransparent version of the pattern. For more information, see “Painting
with patterns” on page 679.
Pencils
Pencils brush variants are great for any artwork that would traditionally require
pencils; from rough sketches to fine line drawings. Like their natural counterparts,
Pencils brush variants interact with canvas texture. All of the variants build to black
and link opacity to stylus pressure. The width of Pencils strokes varies according to the
speed of the stroke, so dragging quickly produces a thinner line and dragging slowly
leaves a thicker line.
