ABSTRACT

The brush tool is probably the most versatile of all the drawing tools, especially when combined with a pressure-sensitive tablet. Drawing with the Brush tool is essentially drawing with shapes. It is the tool that feels the most natural due to the support of pressure sensitivity and tilt features. The advanced color effect separately adjusts the alpha, red, green and blue values of the instance of a symbol. It can be used in a variety of ways to suggest the tone of a person's graphic design or the mood of an entire animated scene. As animators people occasionally need to find ways to visually suggest the passing of time. One of the easiest ways to do this is to change the overall hue of an entire scene or background. Gradients can be very effective when a person wants to break away from the flatness of solid color fills. They can be used to add a sense of depth and dimensionality.
