Uses of the Ink Pen Tool

The ink pen is very similar to a permanent marker in the way you can use it mark drawings in ArtRage. It's very customizable and is often used to ink creations like the one pictured. 

ArtRage makes it very simple to play with the different settings and presets. The ink pen allows many different options and is like having a drawer full of art pens in one program. 

Using the Presets

There are four main presets in the ink pen tool of ArtRage.

* Smoothing: This tool is often used to write cursive or stylized script.  

* Technical: This makes a thinner, lumpier line that doesn't smooth out as much.

* Thick and thin: This changes width depending on whether you go left or right or up and down.

* Chisel: This is similar to the first tool and is used to smooth off writing. 

Using the Settings

There are several main settings that can also be used in addition to the presets. The pressure and aspect tools can be used to change the flow of the pen from lighter to darker. The taper tool gives a tapered start and finish to the lines you draw and can prove useful when it comes to drawing things like scars. Smoothing and opacity change how well the line is defined, while rotation is something that is mainly used with the changing of the other options.
