I was watching a tutorial and the guys brush went from like < ===== > ( like it started out small then got bigger then got smaller ... like a toothpick lol) and whenever i try to use a brush it just goes the same size throughout... If anyone knows how to do the toothpick style brush lmk plz

Do you have to have a tablet to get this? Is there anyway you could just use ur mouse? Someone's gotta know XD And if I do have to get a tablet to do this is 512 pressure good enough or should i get the one with 1,xxx pressure?

help XD

I don't really know what you're asking
The brush was shaped differently? Then it's just a different brush. You can download premade brushes from places like www.deviantart.com, or you can make your own.
If you're talking about the brush getting bigger and smaller, '[' and ']' keys do that .

I wanna know if its possible to do that without a tablet... :/

Oh I see, I see.
Enabling Shape Dynamics in the brushes window makes it like that. I'm not entirely sure if you can do it with a mouse, but I think you can.

I've been futsing around in shape dynamics and i cant seem to get it the way i want it :/ only one that doesnt work is the pressure one and i think thats the thing that makes it like that ^
I'll try googling it XD Shouldnt have to spend 300 bucks to make the brush grow and decrease XD

just work with tablet. with mouse it doesnt have an effect.
tablet installed + "pen pressure"

thx thats what i thought... where do i post topic about tablets? Im pretty new to graphic arts :/
