Is there a way to get a similar brush effect?

Post by artbee » Fri Jan 13, 2017 6:25 pm

I'm really enjoying this program so far! I just having a bit of frustration with the inking.

Below are some examples. First is a quick downward stroke in Paintstorm while the second is a quick downward stroke in Paint Tool Sai.

My inking pen in Sai seems to have a lot more sensitivity, so when I start to pick my brush up at the end of the stroke it trails off. Where as in Paintstorm it just seems to go from thin to thick when I make quick pen strokes. If I move my brush really slowly I can then make more variation in thickness. I guess I'm just wondering if there's a method where I can adjust the sensitivity? Messing with the stabilizer doesn't seem to change the effect.

I do often ink outlines for most of my illustrations so this is rather essential to me. Any insight would be appreciated!

You should setup pressure graph for current brush or global pressure graph at menu-file-options

Ahh for some reason my examples didn't post in the order I wanted to. First one is Sai and second one is Paintstorm.

But anywho, menu file options? where can I find that?
