Bristle Tips are available for all painting tools. This is because static tips use a single brush shape to generate the stroke while Bristle Tips are three-dimensional models with individual bristles that bend and deform according to how you move, tilt and press the pen. The difference between using the standard brushes with the Mixer Brush and the new Bristle Tips is that the standard brushes apply paint more accurately for shaping objects and adding detail, and the Bristle Tips offer more variety of stroke and better blending capabilities. These brushes offer great variety of stroke and with a bit of practice allow you to paint with more control than is possible with static tip brushes. I chose the Very Wet option from the drop down brush combinations and made two strokes, one using the tip of the pen and the other using the side. View / Show / Brush Preview will bring it back again. It can also be turned off (upper right corner 'x') should you prefer not to see it. This proxy can be used to visually learn how the brush responds to the tilt, rotation and pressure of the Wacom pen. I've chosen the Round Tip Bristle brush to show you some of the new features.Īs soon as you choose one of the new Bristle Tips, a Preview of the brush tip and tilt becomes visible just to the top right of the vertical tool bar and under the tool options bar. CS5 includes a new set of Bristle Tips that are capable of delivering a variety of stroke shapes and opacities that are user controlled with the direction and tilt of the Wacom pen.
