Another Important QuickStart Lesson For New IB Users
Drawing Clouds, Rocks or Other Special Effects.
From the "Paint" main menu, select 'Spray Paint - 2 Color -- PenWidth Size Paint. Sometimes setting the Spray Paint Volume to 'Low' gives better effects. When drawing clouds such as the examples above, set the Current Color to your desired color and set the Previous Color to another color (usually one a little lighter or darker than the Current Color. Set the width as you want it depending on the desired cloud shapes (start somewhere between 20 through 40). Set the transparency low (usually somewhere between 5 and 20 to achieve blended colors). Use sort of a circular swishing motion of the cursor to paint the clouds. For rocks, sand, backgrounds or other special effects, experiment with the width, transparency and closeness of colors to get a feel for the Spray Paint (PenWidth Size Paint) capabilities.
NOTE. Getting started, it may be helpful to open a cloud photo image and using AutoClick, select colors for practice clouds (See Lesson Link # 1 'Using AutoClick and Drawing' for AutoClick examples and instructions).
