 Hi, this is Akash, Your host. Let’s start our class.

In this class, I will show you how to work with the paintbrush tool.

Please create a new document. The width and height will be 1920 & 1080P. Then rename it and hit create.

This class doesn't need any source files.

CTRL+Mouse wheel or CMD+Mouse Wheel to adjust this artboard if it’s not fit correctly.

If you can’t find this options bar just go to the window and then check the control from the list.

That’s it. Now you can use the options bar.

Please select the paintbrush tool now. Remember we don’t need to fill color for this tool. We only need stroke color. If we take no color for the stroke then the paintbrush tool will not work. Let me show you. You can see we lost the options from here.

So, we need to select no color for fill and select black or any color for stroke.

You can change the uniform from here and also you can select the brush style from this option.

Now let’s try drawing something.

Select the move tool and select the first draw and hit the delete key.

Select the paintbrush tool again and then try something new from the brush style. You can change the stroke color from here also. Double click here to open the color picker window then select any color. You can increase the stroke size. You can draw over the Z if you want to. Now please select the move tool and select all the layers and hit the delete key. Click here to open the brush style and then click here to open the brush Manu. Then open the brush library and you can select different styles from the list. Like this one. Now you can follow my every step so that you can understand the paintbrush tool completely. Please watch this video till the end otherwise you will miss some important steps. Now we want to know how to draw a smooth art. If you can’t draw smoothly just follow this step. Double click on this brush tool and then increase the fidelity value to the maximum and then hit ok. You can see if you draw with a shaking hand your draw will be automatically smooth.

After drawing with any brush style, you can change the brush style easily. Just select the layer and change the style from here.
