Tools: If you’ve used Microsoft Paint, the tools in Paintbrush will be very familiar to you. All of the tools are compatible with the Wacom tablet.

 

The Brush tool will allow you to use the tablet’s pen just like a regular pen, paintbrush, or whiteboard marker. While it will take some practice getting used to writing and drawing on the tablet but looking at your computer screen, the tablet will help you sketch clear illustrations and write legibly.
Use the Stroke setting toward the bottom of the tool panel to change the thickness of the brush. Clicking with your mouse or tablet pen on the color swatches beneath the Stroke slider will allow you to change the color.

The Eraser works just like the brush tool and is good for erasing a specific part of your image. To erase everything at once, select the Bomb tool and click anywhere on the canvas; the entire canvas will be recolored into the background color (the one that appears behind the color you’re working with on the tool panel).

You can also experiment with the other tools to draw lines, shapes, and more!

Pen Nibs: You can unscrew the bottom of the tablet’s pen holder to find a selection of replacement nibs (tips) for the pen. These can be used to change the feel of the pen on the tablet; try a few of them to see which you like best!
