Each one of those, I simply push harder, so hard shading the harder I push, the darker the line becomes. Alright, hard shading, let's zoom in on this one. And just so you know, we're also going to include a PDF file where you can actually look closer at all these brushes. Alright, so I'm going to hit M to center. Real blurred brush, and I can keep working over and make it darker and darker. Now this is definitely for some highlights or shadows. Let's go down to the next one for soft shading.

It's a nice way to essentially put in some highlights or some shadows softly. There's a lot of transparency in the airbrush. Now, there especially as I'm doing my wiggly, you can see anytime there's an overlap, it gets a lot darker. So the marker line is a little softer on the edge, if I touch it lightly with my digital pen, it's a slightly lighter line. Look pretty tight along the edges of the line. It's a little bit of softness on the edge. I'll go down to the option here for ball point. But hit shift M, that will automatically center my frame. Looks like I'm drawing, maybe on a textured piece of paper. Much tighter edge, just a little softer than what we saw on some other options, but nice totally black line. We'll grab the ink brush, make that nice and large. A nice dark, almost black, not quite line. So let's zoom in again, so we can see the line really nicely. I'm going to go to our first type of preset, which is a soft lead. Which is one with a blue line on the left of my layer list. Alright, so let's go to the next panel here. And then when I zoom out, you can see the difference here of how the brush lines work. See how that also gets darker as I keep working over it and over it. Again, these are all of our vector brushes here that we can work with. And if I start working over it, notice it's going to start getting darker. And I want to make the chalk line thicker.

So it's kind of like using a felt tip marker, an art marker of some sort. And if I start crossing the line, notice it gets darker and darker as I keep working over it. And as I work it, notice it's going to get darker and darker. Okay, so brush one, nice solid black line, nice solid edges on a line. So I'm going to zoom in, just using my fingers here, because I'm on a (mumbles), I'll select brush one.

That's the one with the gray line on the side.

The way we're going to see vector brushes, is selecting our pencil or brush icon, and then making sure that under our layers, we're on a vector layer. Now I'm going to start here with our vector brushes. Some of them are great for drawing, and others can be used for certain effects, So, let's take a look at various brushes that we've got to work with. Now, starting with version 5 of Storyboard Pro, we have many more brush presets to work with. Some prefer a solid vector line, while others like me, prefer a softer pencil-like line. All artists prefer a different variety of digital brush tips when they draw.
