Havn't tried yet.īy customized smudge tool smudge_teto.jpgĬommonly there are 2 types of smudge tools in paint softwares. "No erasing effect" may also be useful in watercolor type smudge. Without "No erasing effect", smudging on the gap will diffuse its transparency to nearby pixels and it's difficult to remove the gap. In the left image, there are transparent gaps between dark gray and red areas. (Tip: smudge tool is very useful to draw hair and flame)Īnd "No erasing effect" shows why this parameter matters. "By customized smudge tool" and "By MyPaint brush" are two artworks with similar painting method, only different tools. Otherwise it will be nearly the same as normal brushes. It's better to keep Flow under 30, or control it by dynamics. (Not sure whether I should post to gimp-developer mailing list or not.)Īlso compare this smudge tool and MyPaint brush(which is watercolor type smudge). If someone wants to make this as an official feature, I am glad to help.
This is useful to fill the gap between two color areas.Ĭurrently I made this just for experiment and it's not very robust. If enabled, if smudging will decrease alpha of some pixels, don't decrease them, thus doesn't erase existing pixels. (To simplify the work I picked a currently-unused parameter and didn't make a new one.) Of cource it can be controlled by brush dynamics. The more it is, more foreground color will be blended. One is "Flow", which controls the amount of brush color.

I did this by modifying the code and building by myself. (I mainly use GIMP for digital painting, so the power of a brush engine is important to me.) Because I thought this can make a different taste from "Watercolor" type smudge when drawing images. Hi everyone, I made an experimental tool : A customized smudge tool, which can not only smudge the color on the canvas, but also blend brush color on it.
