If you’re ready to start using the Pencil tool, keep in mind that lines that aren’t vertical or horizontal will look jagged up close. To try out the Pencil tool, work your way through these steps:
1. Activate the Pencil tool by choosing it from the Tools palette. (It shares a flyout menu with the Brush tool.)
You can press Shift+B to make it appear if it’s hidden underneath the Brush tool. The Pencil tool’s current brush tip (usually the 1-pixel brush unless you select something else) is shown in the Brush Preset picker in the Options bar. Click the arrow in the Brush box to summon the Brush Preset picker palette if you want to choose a different-sized pencil tip.
2. If you want to draw using anything other than the Normal mode, choose a mode from the Mode options menu.
Modes other than Normal cause colors to interact and blend in different ways.
3. Choose an opacity for your pencil strokes.
If you want whatever is in the background to show partially through your strokes, choose an opacity of less than 100 percent by using the slider or by typing an opacity percentage directly into the text box.
You can set opacity percentage in 10-percent increments by pressing the number keys while the Brush tool is active. The 1 key equals 10 percent, the 2 key equals 20 percent flow rate, and so forth. Type two number keys quickly to
also get increments of 1. For example, type a 6 and another 6 quickly to get an opacity percentage of 66%.
4. Click and drag with the mouse to create your pencil lines.
