This post will demonstrate how to use the brush to paint stripes. Specifically I’m going to make a ombre stripes, meaning that I will go from light to dark to make a shading pattern, but it can be used for any stripes!
First, set up the item that you want to paint. If you’re making something with multiple parts, like a top, be sure to “select” all times that you want to paint lines onto at once so they will be consistent. Here I’m just painting the front, so I unchecked the “back” parts:
Then I’m going to select “Brush,” then go to the pencil icon on the left and select “brush” there as well. On the left I’ll pick my first color, starting with the lightest for the ombre pattern.
The select the size of the line using “Size” under brush. One thing to remember here is that the “undo” button (you can use control>z on your keyboard, or the left arrow at the bottom center) is your friend! If you make a mistake or don’t like how the paint comes out, hit undo and try again.
Now we will start to paint. For lines, hold down on the “Shift” key on your keyboard to make a straight line. For this I touched the brush down outside of the shirt limits, hit “Shift” and dragged an angled line across the arm, then lifted and hit “Shift” again to make a straight line at another angle across the body.
Next go down below that first line, make your brush slightly darker, and repeat.
Repeat the steps, using a slightly darker brunch each line, until you’ve covered the whole item.
The result:
