First, select *Basic_Wet* from the default presets, and go into the brush editor with the :kbd:`F5` key. .. image:: /images/brush-tips/Painter-sculpt-brush-01.png :alt: Brush setting dialog to get started. Then, the trick is to go into **Opacity**, untoggle **Pressure** from the sensors, toggle **Fade** and then reverse the curve as shown above. Make sure that the curve ends a little above the bottom-right, so that you are always painting something. Otherwise, the smudge won't work. This'll make the color rate decrease and turn it into a smudge brush as the stroke continues: .. image:: /images/brush-tips/Painter-sculpt-brush-02.png :alt: Remove pressure from opacity parameter and add fade. The **Fade** sensor will base the stroke length on brush size. The **Distance** sensor will base it on actual pixels, and the **Time** on actual seconds. Then, select :menuselection:`Brushtip --> Predefined` and select the default *A_Angular_Church_HR* brushtip. .. image:: /images/brush-tips/Painter-sculpt-brush-03.png :alt: Select the Angular church brush tip. This makes for a nice textured square brush. Of course, this'll make the stroke distance longer to get to smudging, so we go back to the *Opacity*. .. image:: /images/brush-tips/Painter-sculpt-brush-04.png :alt: Opacity parameter in the brush setting. Just adjust the fade-length by |mouseright| on the slider bar. You can then input a number. In the screenshot, I have 500, but the sweet spot seems to be somewhere between 150 and 200. Now, you'll notice that on the start of a stroke, it might be a little faded, so go into **Color Rate** and turn off the **Enable Pen Settings** there. .. image:: /images/brush-tips/Painter-sculpt-brush-05.png :alt: Switch off sensors for color rate. Then, finally, we'll make the brush rotate. .. image:: /images/brush-tips/Painter-sculpt-brush-06.png :alt: Brush rotation is enabled. Tick the **Rotation** parameter, and select it. There, untick **Pressure** and tick **Drawing Angle**. Then, for better angling, tick **Lock** and set the **Angle Offset** to 90 degrees by |mouseright| the slider bar and typing in 90. Now, give your brush a new name, doodle on the brush-square, **Save to presets** and paint! .. image:: /images/brush-tips/Painter-sculpt-brush-07.png :alt: Result from the brush we made.
