DRAWING WITH PRESSURE
The Intuos2 Pen responds to the nuance and inflection of your hand movements, enabling you to create
natural-looking pen and brush strokes. Many graphics applications have drawing tools that respond to the
pressure you place on the pen. For example, in some drawing programs sliders are used to vary brush
characteristics (width, color, and opacity). These characteristics can be controlled much better by the
Intuos2 Pen’s pressure-sensitivity. You can vary line width, blend colors, and change opacity with the
pressure you exert upon the pen.
To draw with pressure-sensitivity, select a pressure-sensitive tool from your application’s tool palette.
Draw along the surface of the tablet while applying various amounts of pressure downward on the tip of
the Intuos2 Pen. Press hard for thick lines or dense color. Press gently for thin lines or softer color.
To adjust the tip feel, see Adjusting
Tip Feel.
