The Bristle controls allow you to adjust the appearance of bristle brushes, such as Camel Hair, Flat, Palette Knife, and Bristle Spray. You can specify the number of bristles, or bristle density (Feature). You can also control how far the bristles spray out, or fan out, when applying brushstrokes (Spread). This control is linked to the Tilt expression. For example, the more you tilt the stylus, the greater the bristles will fan out.
You can set some bristle options on the property bar. For more information, see To choose a dab profile using the property bar.
