The Pencil brush draws lines similar to what a real pencil would make on paper.

This lets you draw lines with a brush-like effect. The output lines gradually fade in, solidify, and then fade out as you end the “brush stroke.” The lines it produces are rounded.

This brush lets you “highlight" using different colors. It works well to create more dynamic art by adding a semi-transparent layer of color. The highlighter is square-shaped, which is one of the things that differentiates it from the other tools.

Simulate the effect of spraying paint or ink onto a surface to create textured and atmospheric effects, such as splatters, speckles, or spray paint-like patterns.

Like the right hatch brush, the Halftone Left Hatch brush creates a left-leaning hatch pattern with halftone dots for shading and adding gradients in the opposite direction.
