As title says, how is it possible to turn a specific paint brush into a smudge tool ? In my library there are many smudge brushes and they all work fine, but is there a way I can edit a paint brush in order to make it like a smudge tool with the same ability? For example, there’s a hard-oil or a splatter brush which is really efficient for painting, but I want them to act like a smudge tool (replicating and/or blurring according to the same pattern I use them to paint)
Lateral example on another program: in Gimp the same brush can be used both for the paint tool and for the smudge tool, I don’t if this help making sense…
My version of MyPaint is 1.0
I just tried and had some success.
Right click on the brush.
I cloned the brush so that I wouldn’t ruin the original.
Right click on the clone and select Edit Brush Settings
Smudge → Smudge, change the value at the top to 1
Save and you’re done.
There are lots of settings you can edit, so exploring those will probably allow you to get a more sophisticated smudge brush.
Thanks a lot, I didn’t notice the Smudge settings before (“Sfuma” in the italian version). Works like a charm.
