The curve can also be ended by hitting Return, Right click (or undo) to cancel a segment.Īdding a straight segment ends the curve. Click and drag to add a curve segment andĪdjust the new segments control points. When holding down alt, the starting point of the shape becomes the center point. The rectangle tool, the shape is constrained to a square and with the ellipse tool a circle. When holding down shift, the line is constrained to an angle that is multiple of 45°. Certain extra buttons are available for use with these: These brush tools let you draw geometric shapes. Unlike the brush slots (1-5),Ĭhanges to the selected brush does not automatically change the preset. There is also a brush preset dock that lets you save and restore brush presets.
From there you can adjust the strength of the pen motion smoother as well When using the eraser tool, only the eraser slot is available. There are five tool slots for storing different brush settings and one extra slot dedicated for a brush inĮraser mode. This can be toggled by clicking on the little eraser button. Other settings you can change are the brush blending mode and whether it works in direct or indirect mode.Įvery brush also has an eraser mode. In watercolor mode, the brush picks up color from the canvas as you paint. You can adjust the settings of the selected brush in the tool dock.Ī brush can work in three different modes: hard-edged pen (useful for pixel art), soft edged brush (normal mode) and watercolor mode.

We would like to remind you that we have a gallery system in which we handpick the deviations we want to Feature with every new submission to the other galleries. What would be a major change you would like to see in new FireAlpaca versions? Let us know! We will forward all replies to the official staff, both on Facebook and the official website. I hope you found this tip useful, please let us know if you have any doubts in the comments Do turn it off when you want to draw a lot of dots or points, and for pixel art. It's up to you but remember that Correction usually messes up your painting strokes. For the most part, I use 0 correction, but sometimes I want a wash to be super smooth and I will turn it on. When you rely too heavily on Correction, it might seem as though you're just tracing your sketch, instead of giving the lines a good personality, if that makes sense.Ĭ) Coloring and effects: Here, it depends.
I also think it's not a good idea to become too dependent on Correction when it comes to lineart, because trully nice, strong lines come from smooth movements in your arm and wrist. Any higher than that, Correction tends to be a little bit faulty and usually leaves a bump in the line.

The reason is that I want my lines to be as natural and free as possible, and I don't really mind if I don't get them super smooth.ī) Lineart: Here I use a value of 10, and it works wonders with my lines. Correction works with any given brush, so yes, you can also use it with brushes that you imported into the program.Ī) Sketching: I use 0 correction for this stage. This also explains why it has a lag with slower computers, since it's an operation that the program calculates at the same time as you're drawing. So what does it do? When set on any value higher than 0 (up to 19), it will make the lines that you're drawing smoother and less jittery. You'll find it as a drop-down menu in the upper section when Brush tool is selected, next to AntiAliasing. This week's Friday Tip has to do with understanding the Correction tool that's built into FireAlpaca.
