Pixlr tutorial - The Pencil; Brush; Paint Bucket Tools- Lesson 15 Video Lecture | Pixlr Tutorial: Master Image Editing - Professional Skills

welcome to another Pixlr tutorial and
this tutorial is going to look at the
pencil tool the brush tool and the paint
bucket tool I have an image here of a
transparent cat and go to even straight
only use the cap to demonstrate all
these three tools start with the pencil
first of all to a new layer
so any thing I draw on the cats can be
deleted so in the pencil you've got
several different types of pencils and
sizes and opacity s and and the strength
so if I was to pick sketchy for example
and change the color to red and ensuring
that pits layer selected just draw the
name of the category on its own
so the pencil is just what it is
experiment with it if you want to
actually floor or do some sketching and
I've no artist so let's do a new layer
and the brush
and the brush has again quite a lot of
options at the top you and this is your
default set of brushes in the brush
palette and you've got a set of circular
hard bushes and soft brushes square
brushes and some some basic symbols here
you can change the diameter and spacing
and hardness of each of those so if I
wanted a bigger brush then 200 I can
make that bigger
let's see how big it is there
so each of those can be adjusted you can
remove brushes from this palette so if I
didn't want to use this one up it select
that and remove it I can create my own
brush if I wanted assert a circular
buffer circular brush then how big do I
want it and just adapt adjust different
criteria to actually come up with my own
brush which i think was that one now you
can reset so if I click reset then any
brushes that I've created or added in
are gone and it just gives me back the
default set of brushes unless I save
them there are more brushes here there's
quite a lot more in each of these
categories as an artistic nature make up
shapes and Selenia send in more brushes
in these sections I've went into shapes
archit select some stars and that gives
me a whole range of new brushes that I
add to the palette and then I can use
those to paint with changing the
diameter so if I just push it down there
I can see how big it's going to be too
big
change the color
since the opacity
change the
quite eerie here the fuse so different
qualities it can do for it to the
brushes and I can keep adding them so I
can keep going to more so the artistic
or the miscellaneous is hearts so I can
add a whole series of of hearts buses
and use those change the color
then you start to build up quite a big
selection of brushes I can clear that
and everything is gone and I can reset
and it's bring back the default brushes
I can also create my own own brush from
an image or from something I draw and I
have done a video on that so if you live
in the description you can find the link
to that but as an example create a and
you image for the moment to have a look
and you know with black and a small
brush and change that to turn off
diffuse and scatter still a hard tip I
could draw an arrow
with the lasso tool I can't outline that
then edit and define the brush then I go
back into the brush tool and select I
have the brush I've just created so I
can select that
deselect and now I can draw that change
the color that's the color I can create
my own brushes let's delete everything
and come back to the cat if I wanted to
fill this cat in with color paint it
with color I can use the pencil like I
can use the brush to fill it in
let's change that back to this by
selecting a color so if I want a brow
could start to to coloring in and paint
it in to take a look a long time change
to different shade
and then use the smudge tool to blend
that so I can use the brush tool for
that or I could select it with the magic
wand to select the tail hold the shift
key to add to that selection I've got
the whole tail selected and I can use
the paint bucket to fill it in
or I could use a gradient to paint in
the cats I selected it with the magic
wand select the gradient tool picking a
color on what the can't that kept to be
a brown color and then draw a gradient
in that selection and feel that way
filling in the rest of the the cat using
the magic one select it and use the
paint bucket so pick a different color
maybe this color and use the paint
bucket to
to fill in the cat painted in so the
paint bucket also has some opacity so if
I wanted to make that color a little bit
lighter and select the
with the magic one select an eye
and use the same color but the opacity
is much lighter see that there it's
lighter by using the same color
but making it a lot of level you can you
can sample all layers make a contiguous
change the tolerance so there's some
options there put a background on so if
I put in a on layer three create a
background color making it blue
purple and then feel that background
layer the opacity is too low so you can
see the actual transparent the back but
make it a bit brighter
then move the layers and flip the
background now so that's all for this
video on the pencil the brush and the
Paint Bucket you can do a lot to an
image by making it more interesting
using brushes and gradients and and and
filling it in with color and that's what
we're going to look at in the next video
how to make an image more interesting
just using brushes
