The brush size and transparency are in the toolbar on the left.

Swipe up or down to adjust size and transparency.

The combination of different brushes and transparency has a certain impact on our composition.

If the thickness and depth are properly grasped, the picture will be the icing on the cake.

A common usage is line drawing.

The process is like cultivating our mentality.

The length, continuity, turns and virtual strength of a line are all related to a person's state of mind and artistic attainments.

The lines drawn by impatient people are intermittent, the lines drawn by hesitant people are scratched, and the pictures drawn by people with insufficient grasping ability are somewhat blurry. These are all related to their own ability, experience level, and state of mind when painting.

Using a paintbrush well is also a process that requires long-term practice.

If you feel that the brush does not seem to be hard enough and you need to increase the hardness, there are two methods you can try.

1. Choose a hard brush.

The painting also has the effect of depth. As the intensity of the pen increases, the marks of the pen gradually become darker.

2. Modify the opacity parameters in the pencil logo in the brush, open the software, create a new canvas and start painting.

First, choose the size of the canvas you want to draw on at the beginning.

If you want to draw a postcard for yourself, you need to know that its standard sizes are: 148×100MM and 165×102MM.

If you want to draw a picture book for yourself, the more common formats for children's picture books are 20-karat gold (approximately 200X225MM) or 16-karat rectangle (approximately 210X260MM).

For children's picture book readers aged 1 to 3 years old, a 16-karat format book is more suitable, because children in early childhood have relatively poor attention and observation skills. A picture book is 145X110MM in size, which is equivalent to the size of an adult's palm, so it is pocket-sized

The small pictures in picture books need to express the theme more delicately and concisely.

The size can be determined according to your own needs.

If you just want to paint casually, there are many options in the software.

Click the + sign in the upper right corner to select the size and create a new canvas.

If you don't have a suitable canvas, you can define it yourself.

Common sizes are also listed below for reference.

Second, if you are halfway through the painting and find that you want to change to a larger canvas, how should you copy the existing painting?

Simply put, how to change from big to small or from small to big?

There is a function to copy canvas in the software. You only need to find this function in Image-Copy Canvas and copy it to another work.

Straight line: Stop writing until the end point and a straight line will be formed automatically. You can adjust the direction of the line by dragging without lifting the pen.

Wavy line: First draw a curve, then modify and adjust it by selecting-Bend-Advanced Network. If there is any inappropriate part in the middle, you can erase it with an eraser, and then copy and splice it.

If you need thicker lines, just adjust the brush to maximum.

There is a most convenient and quick way to draw graphics.

Select the brush to draw a shape at will. Do not leave the Changan pen tip away from the interface. The words "Edit Shape" will automatically appear in the middle of the menu bar. Click "Edit Shape" and many optional shapes will appear, which can be adjusted according to actual needs.

This method can be used to draw squares, rectangles, circles, ovals, and polygons.

In addition to stick figures, we sometimes need solid patterns.

Solid circles: If you want to draw many circles at once, it is faster to use the brush method.

Just use brushes, and there will be a chapter on brush production.

For example, if you click on the single-line brush, you can use other built-in brushes without burrs.
