Pulled String: When you start drawing a stroke, Harmony positions the drawing tool where your stroke starts. It determines the direction the drawing stroke takes using one of the two following methods, depending on which one you select:Īverage: Harmony calculates the average direction of all of your mouse or pen gestures between the end of the actual drawing stroke and the current position of your mouse cursor or pen tip, and extends the stroke in this average direction, effectively evening out jitter and rounding sharp turns. Once your stroke reaches this length, Harmony starts generating an actual drawing stroke that trails behind your mouse cursor or tablet pen. Harmony's pen stabilizer works by letting you draw a stroke of a certain length without generating artwork right away.
The pen stabilizer allows you to easily draw curved lines with precision without having to apply smoothing to them after you have drawn them. When drawing with minutia and precision, you can use Harmony's pen stabilizer instead. However, this can cause your precisely executed strokes to lose in precision and quality. It does this by generating the vector shape of your drawing stroke, then simplifying its structure of points and curves, to remove what appears to be jittering. You can configure a textured brush to look crisp and solid if desired, but brush strokes on bitmap layers cannot be tweaked or smoothed.By default, when drawing with freehand drawing tools such as the brush, pencil or eraser tools, Harmony smoothens each drawing stroke you create right after creating it. If you are drawing on a bitmap layer, your brush is always textured. You can tweak textured vector brush strokes using various vector editing tools such as the Contour Editor, the Smooth Editor, the Perspective tool and the Envelope tool, and Harmony will resample the textures inside your brush strokes with each modification. You can however create a textured vector brush which combines both Harmony's vector and bitmap drawing capabilities. When drawing on a vector layer, brushes are solid vector brushes by default. You can use bitmap brush tips, adjust your line's hardness and opacity, combine two tips and apply a paper texture to your brush strokes so as to adapt the Brush tool to a variety of art styles and create natural-looking brush strokes. Using textured brushes, you can create an infinite range of fuzzy, textured and watercolour lines.
