Static Pencils / Colored Pencils.

The following custom variants are all based on the Static Bristle Dab type, and have been developed to supplement the default Painter Pencil and Colored Pencil brushes. Many of the variants in the library make use of Painter's Jitter feature which gives randomness in the brush stroke path, and in this case, a resulting diffuse texture.

Static Pencils demo image

 

In the demo image to the left, the brush strokes in the upper half of the image were made with the Cover variants, whereas the lower strokes employed the Buildup variants.

The letter 'P' visible in some of the strokes comes from a custom paper texture in association with the Grainy variants.

As already mentioned, the grainy appearance in many of the strokes comes from the Jitter setting, and not the current paper texture.

David,

I downloaded your zip file and put the extracted static pencils folder in the brushes/painter brushes folder, but when I try to load the library it ask me for a .brs file.  I have gone thru the manual and the on line help but it doesn't tell me what I am doing wrong.  Can you help me?

Hi jgbales,

After unzipping, the folder named Static_Pencils (which with contents is a complete brush library for Painter 7 and above) should be placed at the top level of the Brushes folder. Use the Load Library option in the Brush Selector Bar menu to navigate to and load the Static Pencils library. Do not use the Import option, as this is used to import/convert non-xml, pre-Painter 7 libraries, which are .brs files on the PC platform.
