USING THE OPTIONAL AIRBRUSH AND ART PEN
The optional Intuos4 Airbrush works like the Grip Pen, but also includes a fingerwheel for an additional
degree of control. With proper software support, you can simulate realistic airbrushing. For example,
tilting the Airbrush can cause the spray pattern to elongate and feather out. Rolling the fingerwheel adjusts
the spray intensity, and pressure on the tip controls the brush size.
Hold the Airbrush with your thumb and middle finger. The fingerwheel should be in a convenient location
for you to roll it with your index finger. Tilt the Airbrush to find a comfortable position that allows you to
paint and draw with pressure sensitivity.
The optional Intuos4 Art Pen responds to the pressure, tilt, and rotation you apply to the pen.
Important: When the Airbrush or Art Pen is not in use, lay it flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of
your tool, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser. Leaving an Intuos4 tool on the
tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices.
See product information
to learn more about which applications currently support the Airbrush fingerwheel
or Art Pen rotation. See ordering parts and accessories
for information on where to purchase an Intuos4
Airbrush or Art Pen.

Fingerwheel
Roll the fingerwheel backwards to increase ink
flow or brush size, and forward to reduce it.
Your index finger should operate the wheel
independently of the pressure you apply to the tip.

The Art Pen supports 360 degrees of rotation around the
pen axis. As you draw within an application that
supports rotation sensitivity, simply twist the Art Pen to
create lines that narrow or broaden.
For example, while painting you can vary the rotation of a
non-circular brush to change the stroke thickness.
Depending on the brush shape characteristics you have
selected in your application, you can simulate calligraphy
pens, broad felt tip markers, and any other non-circular
brushes or tools.
