  • 'Holes' when you draw with the Brush tool

    pinselstrich.jpg

    Hello, why I get this 'hole' when I shoot with the Illustrator brush stroke, and how can I change it? (Illustrator CS6)

    Drag the brush in the Panel forms.

    Select the shape of the brush with direct selection

    Open the Atrributes

    Define the shape of the brush to the fill rule 'Non-Zero' (you must "Display options" to make visible buttons)

    And of course then Alt-do drag the brush published in the Panel forms once again, replacing the old.

  • Shift-click to create straight lines with the Brush tool is no longer works in 2015 CC

    Hello!

    I feel a maddening thing I can't explain, maybe a bug or a dark environment?

    If I use the pencil tool, I can click on the same spot on the canvas, then releases, then hold SHIFT key and click in another location on the canvas to create a straight line between the two points. This is expected behavior, and Photoshop has done this for years, as long as I can remember.

    Until recently, the same has worked with the Brush tool. Since the upgrade to 2015 CC, however, shift-click on demand exactly as if I was clicking simply - he draws another full brush, but without a straight line connecting the two clicks. Weird.


    Everyone knows the same behavior? (CC and Yosemite are completely up to date.)


    Best,

  • Problems with the Brush tool in Animate - chips of leaves or steps of the finished line.

    Noticed this problem with the Brush tool in Adobe animate - seems to leave a chip or stage of the race over each time that a line is drawn.

    Older versions of flash were perfect, no problems with the brush not tool at least.

    See the video for a demonstration of what I mean:

    Hi Toby,

    We have fixed this problem internally and the fix should be available with the next update to animate CC.

  • How to continue the drawing with the pen tool

    Hello

    Let's say that I start to draw an image with the pen tool. Something happens 1/2 through the work of track and I need to stop the trace. How I later come back and start the trace of my last point and continue to the end. Now, all I get is new anchor points and lines that do not join the original track. Thank you

    To resume adding segments to a pre-existing open path with the pen tool:

    1. Hover over the endpoint of the path. A slash mark appears next to the cursor.
    2. Click on the endpoint.
    3. Continue to add the anchorPoints.

    It is not necessary first to select the path (but it should be).

    JET.

  • Is it possible to move a line drawn with the Brush tool

    I created a document in Photoshop CC. I drew a number of line using the Brush tool in the toolbar on the left. One of the lines must be pushed a little. I can't find a way to select the line to move it. How can I do this?

    Assuming that the race is separated from the others properly, you can select around it (for example, with the rectangular selection tool or the Polygonal Lasso tool), and then simply drag the pixels to where you want.

    Note that if you work on background , it will fill the space left with the color of the background color swatch in the tools palette.

  • How to start to draw with the pen tool, a different anchor point?

    It's as simple as that. How can I change the anchor point where I paint. I use the tool on Illustrator CS6 pen on a tablet.

    Thank you!!!

    for8aby,

    Guides are your friends, depending on whether you want to continue A) the shape of the path (so far) last anchor Point or B) create a new path starting with an internal Anchor Point with the pen tool:

    (A) right click/ClickDrag on/off the last anchor Point;

    (B) click anywhere near the internal Anchor Point, press space, and move the point on the path ( pathcommented for example) until you're here

    (Smart Guides say anchor), and then drag the handles, as appropriate.

    After that, you can continue as ususal.

  • Text changes when you click with the text tool before editing

    I have a big file and think that there not saved properly or something. I tried quiting and relaunch Photoshop, but this does not help. Editing the text of other Photoshop files normally works.

    As soon as I click on any text with the text tool, as if I'm going to change or style of the text, the text changes instantly. The content and style of the text shall be replaced as soon as the cursor is placed anywhere in the string.

    The really weird thing is the updated text is text that appears elsewhere on the page. If I click on another text that she is now to who will also get automatically replaced by another text on the page. And it goes on and on. It is impossible to edit or any text style unless I have create a new text.

    I think that the file has arranged miss references to items that becomes apparent that I am editing.

    A way to fix this?

    Out of curiosity, do you have a Mac or a PC, Dan?

    And no, there is no known solution for the corruption in the PSD.

  • by selecting the color with the Brush tool

    is it possible to choose the FOREGROUND COLOR while using the Brush tool?

    If I hold down the option key and click on the tool icon brush becomes the eyedropper icon, but click on produces only a COLOR of background.

    I know that the tool of the icon itself can choose fade in the foreground or background, but it seems that there is a way to choose the FOREGROUND COLOR while using the Brush tool.

    what Miss me?

    Thank you

    Vince

    It is possible that you have the background color of active play sample in the color Panel. Go to the color Panel and click on the foreground swatch (to make it active) and see if that makes a difference.

  • Drawing with the pen tool or the line Segment tool

    Hello

    I have need of tips and tricks to draw the design of a singlet. What is the way most appropriate for the task? What should I draw the line one by one, or create a model brush to draw? Please refer to the image as an attachment for a better understanding. Thanks in advance.

    draw.jpg

    There is a lot to address the issue. Myself, I will draw all the basic shapes with the pen and shape tools (there really only 5 different forms in the main design), application of rounded corners effect according to the needs and duplication/reflection needed to reproduce the layout. So I "would make the cuts" on the forms by using additional objects... many positioned with step & repeat and/or mixture... and apply Pathfinder operations.

  • Help with the Brush tool!

    Hi all

    I am very new to Illustrator.  I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGOeuEsgDrI.  I managed to make the wreath a style brush but when I create an ellipse with no filling/brush stroke and hit my created Crown brush, leaves extends around the border, but the circle is blackened (filled).  It is a different result that the tutorial where the leaves are the border and there is no fill.  When I choose other paint tools, such as the banner (it looks like a Ribbon), it behaves as the tutorial shows and the Center is not filled (as does the Crown Brush tool.  Please refer to the following screen shot, in comparing the two.

    Thanks for any help that you could provide!

    When you created the stem you probably had a fill that are associated with him. This caused it to fill with black when you assigned him to a circle.

    If you still have the original work used to create the branch, select only the stem and make sure that it is set to "no fill". Then option-do the work dragging the brush in the Panel icon shapes. This will update the work with the new art. Simply register and select "update to work. Your circle will now be hallow.

    If you do not have the original work, drag the icon of the brush on the artboard, remove center line filling and updating the art of the brush.

  • How to specify a length of straight line with the Brush tool

    Hello

    I want to draw a few straight lines that have the same look as the paint brush tool. that is the ends of the lines have rounded ends.

    The thing is, I want to be able to specify the length of these lines.

    (1) can I do this with the paint brush tool? So be specific with the length of the line, for example that I can specify in some fields or something like that?

    (2) otherwise, I use the online tool to look the same as a line of paint brush?

    David.

    Hi David.

    Option 2:

    Select the line Segment tool (shortcut "------"). Click the origin. The dialog box should open. Specify the length. Apply a line with round cap. Adjust the width of the line and color to your liking.

    I hope this helps.

    Peace,

  • Coloring with the Brush tool

    I was watching a video tutorial where this person first had a color image, and then it changed to a black and white photo. I'm ok until this point. Then he, with the help of a Brush tool, selectively brought some colors. Hard to explain... I tried to do, but my brush did nothing. So in my case, B & W stayed B & W.

    I tried with a color photo which was pretty flowers. I wanted any other B & W but the roses. What I am doing wrong? Have I not some wrong settings or what do you think?

    I have a love and hate relationship with Photoshop and earlier, it is more hatred...

    Thanks for the help,

    Inge

    If the image was shot black and white and color was then brought back, it might be the history brush tool.
