  • How can you make the paint tool look more like actual pencil drawings?

    Posted by Daniel Haskett on April 24, 2005 at 6:32 pm

    Hi there

    Just wondering if there is a way of importing brush strokes into after effects that look more like an actual pencil? The standard brush strokes that come with after effects look a bit computery and was just wondering if it is possible to get pencil/pen brush strokes. I remember in Corel Painter there were loads of brush strokes….

    thanks in advance!

    No custom brushes like Painter. But you could try to give the strokes a little bit of texture and irregularity by applying Roughen Edges to the strokes and playing around with texture scale etc.
