130 CHAPTER 4 DRAWING The Airbrush Tool The GIMP offers two more tools for drawing lines. One of them is the Airbrush tool (Figure 4-11). Figure 4-11. The Airbrush tool, using a large, hard-edged brush (top) and the slanted calligraphic brush (below) The Airbrush almost always draws fuzzy edges, even if you use a hard-edged brush. It s also time sensitive. The slower you drag across the page, the darker the line will be, just as if you were using a real airbrush or a can of spray paint. Hover over one spot holding the mouse button down, and the spot will get darker and darker until it s completely opaque. (That means that if you stay in one place with a hard-edged brush, eventually the edges will become sharp. That s how the Airbrush can draw non-fuzzy edges.) Painting with the Airbrush takes some practice and a deft touch . . . just like a real airbrush! The Airbrush adds two additional options to the normal set: Rate controls how sensitive the Airbrush tool is to movement, i.e., how fast things get darker if you slow down. Pressure controls the darkness. Think of it as the amount of paint the airbrush is spraying.
