Brushes

[Rufnacous]

Hello!

I just want to ask if it's possible you can get a custom brush that does the same thing as "line fidelity" in adobe illustrator, and also if there's a custom brush that works like the charcoal brush in illustrator. (I believe it's a default one - basically it makes lines look hand drawn.)

Thanks!

The only way to "draw" with custom brushes in paint.net is with the plugin "Custom Brushes Mini".

 

You can find legally free brushes from Brusheezy: http://www.brusheezy.com/

You may be better off using a program like Krita https://krita.org/  for brushes or (possibly) Inkscape https://inkscape.org/en/ for vector work . Both free.

I have a very old free version of DeepPaint v2.0 That was very nice brushes, even 3-D brushes. If you install it in Win 8.1, you need to run it in XP SP3 compatibility mode for it to function correctly.

If 'line fidelity' means that you like to avoid jitter then something like this is not available. Mostly because paint.net is a pixel editor and not a vector editor like InkScape or Illustrator.

 

Typically a vector editor translates a freehand line to a vector path and you can adjust how exact the vector path matches the line (so you control the amount of control points). The math to do this is a bit tricky.
