Brushes

The brushes Darkly ships with, grouped by the medium they imitate. This is the shipped set; a running session’s library also holds whatever the painter has loaded.

	Name	Category	Description
	Airbrush	Basic	A fully soft disc that builds color up gradually; hold it in one place and the tone deepens.
	Calligraphy	Basic	A broad elliptical nib held at a fixed angle, so strokes thicken and thin with direction.
	Ink Pen	Basic	A crisp-edged nib with a slow pressure ramp, for confident line work that holds its weight.
	Rough Ink	Basic	An ink nib whose edge is reshaped at random every dab, producing line work that looks bitten rather than printed.
	Charcoal	Dry Media	A soft stick that crumbles onto the tooth of the paper, for broad, smoky marks.
	Hair	Dry Media	A lock of individual strands with optional twirling
	Pencil	Dry Media	A graphite tip over paper grain. A pass lays down what the pressure allows and no more: going back over a mark at the same pressure does not darken it, pressing harder does.
	Sponge	Dry Media	A textured brush useful for laying down big, smooth shapes
	Blur	Effects	Softens whatever is already on the layer instead of laying down color.
	Liquify	Effects	Pushes the pixels under the cursor along the stroke, warping the image without repainting it.
	Smudge	Effects	Drags existing pigment along the stroke, the way a finger pulls through wet paint.
	Clone	Misc	Paints with pixels sampled from elsewhere on the canvas rather than with the current color.
	Rough Watercolor	Wet Media	The same bleeding pigment over a rougher paper (granulated, with a broken edge).
	Smooth Watercolor	Wet Media	Wet pigment that pools and blends into what is already on the canvas, with a soft, even edge.
