Quick links to procedures on this page:

Using Liquid Ink controls

You can adjust the Liquid Ink controls. For example, you can select Liquid Ink brush type, size, smoothness, and stroke volume. For more information, see Liquid Ink controls.

Size

The Feature slider lets you determine the space between bristles. You can experiment with the Feature slider and its effect on different Liquid Ink brushes; the higher the setting, the farther apart the bristles appear. Lower settings produce more solid strokes. With Liquid Ink brushes, the adhesion of the bristles minimizes the appearance of individual bristles.

Expression

You can use the Expression settings to vary Liquid Ink effects. For example, you can vary the stroke volume by adjusting controllers such as Direction or Velocity. You can also use the Pressure controller to create layered Liquid Ink strokes. For more information, see Expression settings.

Light pressure is used to apply overlapping strokes (left). Increased pressure produces a heavier layering effect (right).
