- Digital illustrators and people drawing on phones or tablets
- Worth noticing
- Five stroke modes use Q, W, E, R and T; the site says brush width changes only what is drawn next.
Field notes
The interaction is described in terms of speed, pauses and strokes crossing themselves, with five modes for fusing or stacking marks. Relief, light and color can be revised after a drawing is made, while width changes apply only to later strokes. The page says its brush specimens are drawn and rendered by the tool without retouching, and describes transparent PNG exports up to 4×.
