You can configure a textured brush to look crisp and solid if desired, but brush strokes on a bitmap layer cannot be tweaked or smoothed. If you are drawing on a bitmap layer, your brush is always textured. You can tweak textured vector brush strokes using various vector editing tools such as the Contour Editor, the Smooth Editor, the Perspective and the Envelope tools, and Harmony will resample the textures inside your brush strokes with each modification. To use this brush, make sure you are using Harmony 15, and yes, on a vector layer. They are now on par with the bitmap brushes. Harmony 15 upped the ante with the vector brush tools. Second, is a new vector version of my Animator Pencil. You can however create a textured vector brush which combines both Harmony's vector and bitmap drawing capabilities. To use it, make sure you are in Harmony version 11 and up, and are working on a bitmap layer. When drawing on a vector layer, brushes are solid vector brushes by default. When the Draw Behind mode is enabled, the lines you draw will appear behind the art that already exists. You can use bitmap brush tips, adjust your line's hardness and opacity, combine two tips and apply a paper texture to your brush strokes so as to adapt the Brush tool to a variety of art styles and create natural-looking brush strokes. The Normal Brush Mode creates contour lines as you draw, adding each brush lines on top of the last ones. Using textured brushes, you can create an infinite range of fuzzy, textured and watercolour lines.
