size, hue, order of stickers, opacity) and then set how you want them to respond to specific properties (for example, a base or random value, pen pressure, canvas position). In the Spray Variations panel, you select the values (e.g. gift boxes with different ribbon options) or more customized results. You can also add separate image files for different channels (top and bottom color, textures, lighting, metallics) to allow mixed and matched images (e.g.

You can load a single image file as a sheet of multiple images and divide them into different sticker images. Reset the custom brush settings to default for a very simple brush, then adjust it if needed.Ĭreate a new sticker spray preset by adding a new sticker sheet in the Stickers menu, then loading it and going to the Spray Variations panel to adjust the behavior.

Here you can edit the global properties for that brush, so it will always act the same way whenever you use it. Customize or create a custom brush preset in the Brush Designer (from the Settings or under Tools). These are both used for the entire stroke, but the relative size, rotation, and position can be adjusted. The Custom Brush uses a specific shape for the head and another image for the grain. The Sticker Spray stylus properties are all set in the Spray Variations panel, but it allows you to customize the response to pressure, tilt, rotation, airbrush wheel and pen (barrel) twist for the properties that your stylus supports.Ĭreating New Brush Presets (Advanced Settings) Adding a New Dab/Sticker Image You can adjust this or customize properties for advanced styluses (airbrush wheel, barrel rotation) from the Stylus Properties menu at the top of Settings or the Brush Designer. It uses stylus tilt for rotation by default. You can adjust the range in the Stroke Settings. The Custom Brush uses stylus pressure to vary opacity and size. The Sticker Spray always picks up color per individual dab but the individual color values can be adjusted (e.g. The Custom Brush can be adjusted to pick up color per stroke or per dab (on a sliding scale). The Sticker Spray does not react to existing paint in any way, so it cannot be used as a blender.īoth tools will pick up color from a tracing image. The Custom Brush can pick up paint color from the canvas and be used as a blender (with or without any actual color on the Custom Brush, see the Color Settings page for help, but it does not affect texture. These are all available in the Brush Designer as well, but are listed in Settings for quick access. The Settings panel for the Custom Brush allows you to adjust stroke properties like opacity, canvas grain, smoothing, and the minimum size (to control size variation). These options control how the stroke acts relative to your existing paint and layers, and are not the same as the more advanced settings in the Spray Variations, which controls what the stroke will look like. The Settings panel for the Sticker Spray lets you adjust autoflow, auto-flatten (whether it’s on a separate layer or not) and whether it responds to Symmetry or not. Strokes are a single pixel deep and do not have any paint depth or interact with any of ArtRage’s custom paint properties (like a normal digital brush in another program), but can respond to canvas texture. You can also choose to add them as separate sticker layers instead of directly onto existing paint, and right click on individual stickers to adjust size, shape, shadows, and opacity.Ĭustom Brush presets use the same repeating dab and grain for the entire stroke. Sticker Spray presets use one or more images from a single sticker sheet in a customizable sequence and stroke pattern.
