- I select the brush tool and on the top right-end corner of the window I open the brush menu (brushes).
- Select a hard basic brush of 28px and at the lower part of the window you put spacing on 1%.
- On the top left-end corner in same the window I choose ” Shape dynamics “.
- I ensure that the size jitter, angle jitter, roundness jitter stands on 0%.
- At size jitter I put the control on fade, give in the number 400 and choose 10% minimum diameter (dependent of the size of the document you must play with this).
