Stroking a Path with randomised consistency - Dannii - 07-19-2021 Hi, I've recently been experimenting with path stroking and have been getting some great results generating art using ink brushes. What I'm looking for now is a way to incorporate more randomness into the path that is stroked by the brush. I find that when I use the same brush settings manually this introduces interesting effects most likely from a variation of speed which I'm guessing equates to pressure on the pen. Essentially, I'm looking for a way to stroke a path to turn the top line example (created using stroke path) into something more like the bottom example (created manually). Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about doing this? Thanks!   RE: Stroking a Path with randomised consistency - rich2005 - 07-19-2021 Maybe try a bespoke brush.  Stroking a path limits a little. Drawing with a tablet gives a little more variation. Try making a gimp image hose (gih) brush. Something like this, a strip of 'x' number square cells. Greyscale to use FG colour.  [attachment=6376] Stroke path using paintbrush tool option (and dynamics where appropriate) [attachment=6377] RE: Stroking a Path with randomised consistency - PixLab - 07-19-2021 Try to Play with these setting, I got something (shorten the spacing, accentuate the "aspect ratio", and it should work way better than my test) [attachment=6378] RE: Stroking a Path with randomised consistency - Dannii - 07-19-2021 ok, thanks guys I'll give these a try during the week when I find some time. Very much appreciate the ideas!
