25 CREATE YOUR OWN BRUSH ICONS Create your own unique icons to identify custom brushes. When exporting these brushes, the custom icons assignments appear upon import. Note - Custom icons cannot be assigned to default brushes. There are two ways to create brush icons. The easiest uses the Use texture as icon option in the Identify Custom Brush window. The other is to create an icon that must be a PNG image file that is 36 x 36 pixels. A custom brush icon not matching these criteria does not appear. 1. Double-tap a Do-It-Yourself brush. 2. In the Brush Properties window, tap Edit. 3. In Identify Custom Brush window, check Use texture as icon. 4. Tap OK. 1. Create a PNG image with a transparent background that is 36 X 36 pixels. 2.

If the folder doesn t exist, create one. For Windows 7 and Windows 8: C:\Users\[user account]\appdata\roaming\autodesk\sketchbook\7.0\[pro] For Mac: [your user folder]/library/application Support/Autodesk/SketchBook/7.0/[Pro] Note - To access Library, in Finder > Go and tap-hold ALT. This file name appears in the Icons list of the Identify Custom Brush window. When naming your icon, we recommend you use a descriptive name to help identify it.

26 CREATE A TEXTURE BRUSH Once a Do-It-Yourself brush is created, a texture can be added to it, creating a texture brush. You can set the shape and/or color and make a texture from a rotated stroke or capture something on your canvas to use as a texture. When capturing a texture, one of the following Custom Texture settings can be selected: Shape + Colors (available once Capture is tapped) Uses the current paint color, as well as the selected shape, to create your texture. Whenever the texture brush is used, it uses the color set during creation. Shape Creates a texture brush with no assigned color. Each time the texture brush is used, a different color can be set. Rotate to Stroke Dynamically rotates the texture in the direction of the stroke. 1. With a Do-It-Yourself brush selected, tap to open Brush Properties. 2. Tap Capture. 3. From Custom Texture, select either Shape + Colors or Shape and/ or check Rotate to Stroke. 4. Within the canvas, tap the area to be captured as the texture. The display in Brush Properties updates to show the texture and color. Note - When capturing the texture shape, SketchBook uses the current size of the Do-It-Yourself brush. If the complete shape is not captured, resize the Do-It-Yourself brush, then capture the shape again.

27 MODIFYING A TEXTURE BRUSH There are many ways to modify a texture brush, from resetting it, opening its properties and changing settings, changing a stroke, to assign-ing a permanent color to it. Changing texture brush properties - Change attributes of a texture brush. Changing a texture - Change the stroke used by a texture brush. Setting color on a Shape texture brush - Set a different color for a texture brush. Adjust the brush stamp for a Do-It-Yourself brush - Adjust the roundness, rotation, spacing, space randomize, rotation randomize, and brush edge of a Do-It-Yourself brush. Setting brush stamp roundness and rotation - Use the Roundness and Rotation sliders in the Brush Properties window to control the shape of the brush stamp. Setting brush spacing - Use the Spacing slider in the Brush Properties window to control the spacing between these stamps. Replacing a custom brush icon - In the Identify Custom Brush window, select an item from the Icon list (Create your own brush icons). Setting brush edges - Normally, the brush type you have selected determines this setting. To achieve certain effects, change it. RENAME A TEXTURE BRUSH 1. In the Brush Library, tap a texture brush. 2. Tap. 3. In the Brush Properties window, tap Edit. 4. Rename the brush. 5. Tap OK. SAVING A TEXTURE BRUSH Tap Save at the bottom of Brush Properties to save the brush. Soft edges gives soft, feathered brush edges. For example, an airbrush. Solid edges gives hard edges that still bleed slightly. For example, markers or ballpoint pens. Hard edges are hard. For example, a calligraphy pen on high-quality paper stock, or lines from computer drafting software. Identify a custom brush - Rename a custom brush or eraser (Rename a texture brush), or change its icon appearing in the expanded area at the bottom of the Brush Properties (Create your own brush icons). Note - You cannot change the name or icon for the default brushes. Tip - If you keep Brush Properties open when using a texture brush, you can change rotate the texture or change any other settings as you sketch.

Flood filling an area is a quick way to fill an area with color, make highlights, or create gradations of color for such things as a metal look. SOLID FILL Fills an area with paint. For Pro members, in the toolbar, when you select, the Flood Fill toolbar appears, containing fills and an assortment of tools. Use the tools to change fill tolerance, apply a fill to either all layers or only the active layer, or reverse a gradient fill. 1 Fills 2 Tolerance 3 Sample All Layers 4 Reverse 5 Cancel and OK GRADIENT FILL A Gradient Fill consists of multiple colors that blend into the color before and/or after it. There are two kinds of gradient fills: LINEAR FILL Fills an area with paint, using a color ramp and applying it linearly from your first tap (origin) to the end of the drag (destination). This establishes the direction and size of the ramp. Fill manipulators can be added, moved, or removed. RADIAL FILL Fills an area with paint, using a color ramp that radiates from your first tap (origin) to the end of the drag (destination). Fill manipulators can be added, moved, or removed.

38 INVERT THE DIRECTION OF A GRADIENT FILL With a gradient fill created, in the Fill toolbar, click the fill manipulators. to invert the order of USING A TRANSPARENT COLOR Transparent color transforms your brush into an eraser with the characteristic of the chosen brush. If the selected brush is pressuresensitive and creates a stroke that fades off, your eraser will do the same. Use it to erase existing color pixels on the current layer. In the lagoon, select and flick, to turn your brush into an eraser. Transparent color is also available in the Color Puck and can be saved in the custom color palette, see Turning a brush into an eraser for more information. CHANGE FLOOD FILL PROPERTIES Change the tolerance of your fill to determine the range of colors affected. Set what region is flooded and the size of the gaps between the fill paint and pixels creating the boundary of the fill. The minimum tolerance, 1, selects and fills only pixels of that color value. The maximum tolerance, 255, selects and fills all pixels regardless of the region. In the Fill toolbar, tap-drag the slider to change flood fill tolerances

This mode has 5 vanishing points: left, right, top, bottom, and center. The grid is composited of a horizon line, vertical line, and circle. Curves intersect at the vanishing points. Moving the center point moves the entire grid. Moving an edge point changes the circle s radius. 3 POINT MODE Create an image with three vanishing points and a horizon. Draw images of an object that you are viewing from either above or below. When you mouse over or drag a vanishing point, a horizon line (blue) and triangle connecting the three points (light blue) appears. PERSPECTIVE TOOLS Use the following tools to aid with drawing. Snap/Unsnap - When enabled, strokes will be straight and constrained to the horizon or vanishing points. When disabled, they will be freeform, with no constraints. Lock/Unlock vanishing points - When enabled, the vanishing points are locked into place and cannot be moved. When disabled, they can be repositioned.

FLIP OR MIRROR YOUR CANVAS To flip the canvas vertically, select Image > Flip Canvas Vertically. To flip the canvas horizontally, select Image > Mirror Canvas.

54 ADD AN IMAGE An image, such as a PXD from Pixlr, can be inserted onto the current layer or imported onto a new layer. Once an image is added, the Transform puck appears to reposition, rotate, and or scale the image. Select File > Add Image, then select a file. For Pro members, in the Layer Editor, click, then select a file. RESIZE AN IMAGE Use Image > Image size to change the dimensions of the image in pixels, its resolution, or the document size. This change directly affects memory usage, quadrupling it if you double the pixel size. Due to memory requirements, there is a: 6400 x 6400-pixel upper limit on image size for the 32-bit version x 8192-pixel upper limit on image size for the 64-bit version. Keep the following in mind: To add an image to a new layer, ensure that the preference Add Image: import into a new layer is checked. To add an image to the current layer, ensure that the preference Add Image: import into a new layer is not checked. When adding a PXD image to a sketch, SketchBook flattens the file, without making any visual changes. Once an image added to a layer, it s baked into the current layer. You can no longer rotate, scale, or move it on its own. If you do not like its placement, choose to undo it and try again. CHANGE RESOLUTION Resolution is the number of pixels per inch, cm, or mm. Leaving the document size the same increases the quality of the image and resolution; however, the memory size also increases. FIT AN IMAGE ONTO THE SCREEN To expand or reduce an image to fill the screen, flick toward or press Cmd+0 (zero) for Mac or Ctrl+0 (zero) for Windows. Fit to View

55 COLOR CORRECT IMAGES Use the Image > Adjust options for editing an image: Brightness/Contrast Make colors pop. Increase the contrast to make colors richer. Decreasing it to wash them out for images that text can be placed over top. Increase brightness to bring out details from darker areas. Decrease it to melt away darker aspects of an image and shift the focus to things that are bright. Hue/Saturation Change the color range, increase or decrease the purity of a color or brilliance of the colors. Adds/subtracts color (hue) or adjusts the relative amount of color (saturation) in each pixel. Color Balance Remove unwanted color casts by lights or inclement weather conditions by adjusting the cyan, red, magenta, green, yellow, and blue in each pixel. Grayscale Change a color image to one that uses black, white, and various shapes of gray by removing all color from the image. Invert Switch the contrast of an image. Change black elements to white and white to black to create an opposite image. Convert color information for each pixel to its complementary color. Tip - You can also use layer blending to make color, tonal, or effects changes to an image. See Layer blending for more information. Image courtesy of HilbrandBos

61 HOW DO I USE LAYERS? EDIT A LAYER With a layer selected in the Layer Editor, move, rotate, or scale the layer, mirror or flip its content, use the color correction tools, or add text. Note - Moving, rotating, and scaling a layer only affects the current layer. To move, rotate, or scale the entire canvas, Shift-select all layers, then tap or. To move, rotate, or scale a layer, press-hold the V key and use the Transform puck. To do this to another layer, select a new layer and repeat. To flip a layer or mirror, use Image > Flip Layer Vertically or Mirror Layer. 1. Flick toward to open the Layer Editor. 2. Tap-hold the middle of a layer to access layer tools, then flick toward any of the following: Add a layer (Cmd+L for Mac or Ctrl+L for Windows) Delete a layer Rename a layer Merge all layers together Merge with the layer below (Cmd+E for Mac or Ctrl+E for Windows) Lock and unlock a layer Hide or Show a layer Make a duplicate layer SELECT A LAYER In the Layer Editor, tap a layer to select and highlight it. All actions are applied to this layer, until another layer is selected. ADDING A LAYER To add a layer to your sketch, in the Layer Editor, do either: select the layer and click and flick. click. click and select New Layer. DUPLICATING A LAYER To make a copy of a layer, do either: select the layer and click and flick. click and select Duplicate. CLEARING A LAYER To clear a layer, do any of the following: select Edit > Clear. select the layer and click. click and select Clear.

62 RENAMING A LAYER Rename layers to easily identify them. To rename a layer, select a layer, and do either: click and flick. click and select Rename LOCKING LAYERS Locking layers ensures that nothing is accidentally altered and can indicate completion. When changes need to be made on a locked layer, unlock it and rework things. Lock allows you to set both states. To lock a layer, select a layer and tap. DELETING LAYERS To remove a layer from the Layer Editor, select a layer, and do either: click and flick. click and select Delete.

63 LAYER BLENDING DARKEN MULTIPLY In the Layer Editor, with a layer selected, tap the arrows to cycle through and select a layer blending method. Produces an overall darkening effect to the layer appearance. Each pixel on the layer is darkened by a value equal to or greater than the value of pixels on other layers occupying the same location in the layer stack. It produces a similar effect to combining one or more photographic transparencies together and looking through them. Tip - If the top selected layer uses tints (colors mixed with white), more of the colors from the layer will show through. If it uses shades (colors mixed with black), most of the colors from the layer below are obscured. COLOR BURN Takes two layers (the blended layer and the base), compares their pixels, and displays the darker of the two. Enhances the contrast by applying the colors of the blended layer and base. The intensity of the tones in the blended layer determines the degree of color change: darker colors create a more intense effect. white areas remain the same. LINEAR BURN LIGHTEN SCREEN Enhances the contrast by applying the colors of the blended layer and base. The intensity of the tones in the blended layer determines the degree of color change: darker colors create a more intense effect. white areas remain the same. The opposite of Darken. Takes two layers (the blended layer and the base), compares their pixels, and displays the lighter of the two. Produces an overall lightening effect, by providing a softer lightening effect than Add. Each pixel on the layer is brightened by a value equal to or lesser than the value of pixels on other layers occupying the same location in the layer stack. This effect is opposite to Multiply. Tip - If the top layer uses tints (colors mixed with white), most of the colors from the layer below will be obscured. If it uses shades (colors mixed with black), more colors from the layer below to show through. COLOR DODGE The opposite of Burn - though results aren t always opposite. Increases contrast by lightening light areas without having any effect on darker ones.

64 LINEAR DODGE (ADD) Lightens the overall composition, similar to Screen, but more dramatically. Each pixel is brightened by a value equal to or lesser than the value of pixels on other layers occupying the same location in the layer stack. This is applied as a linear calculation. Tip - If the top selected layer uses tints (colors mixed with white), most of the colors from the layer below will be obscured. If it uses shades (colors mixed with black), more of the colors from the layer below to show through. GLOW SOFT GLOW OVERLAY Defines the brightness of a glow, like the effect of a star in the night sky. The higher the setting, the brighter the glow. Softens or blurs the color and intensity of Glow, like the light emanating from a translucent object. A mix of Multiply and Screen. Takes dark values and multiplies them and screening light values from the base layer. Brightness is unchanged, so it tends to look harsher than Soft Light. HARD LIGHT HUE SATURATION COLOR LUMINOSITY Similar to Overlay, just more dramatic. Determines the pixel color based on grayscale. More than 50% gray, base layer pixels are screened. Less than 50% gray, they are multiplied. Takes the hue of the blended layer, changing that of the base layer, without affecting the brightness or saturation levels. Takes the saturation of the blended layer, changing that of the base layer, without affecting the brightness or hue levels. Takes the hue of the blended layer, changing the color of the base layer, without affecting the luminosity. The opposite of Color, it blends the lightness, while ignoring the color information. SOFT LIGHT A mix of Darken and Lighten. Takes dark values and multiplies them and screening light values from the base layer; however, in this case, the effect is softer and more subtle than Overlay. NORMAL Removes any color correction applied to the layer. The layer appears exactly as it was created.

65 ORGANIZE LAYERS Drag layers and reposition them and change the spatial position of objects and how they combine to create the overall composition. Once satisfied with layer order, they can be combined by merging two or all of them. In the Layer Editor, pen down on to drag the layer up or down. Release the stylus to drop the layer into position. MERGE TWO LAYERS Combine two layers together. Tap the upper layer and flick toward to merge it with the one below or press Cmd+E for Mac or Ctrl+E for Windows. MERGE ALL LAYERS Combine all layers to create a project with one layer. Flick toward to merge them, even hidden (which become visible) or locked ones. Note - Unhide all layers to be merged. Hidden layers will be lost. Image courtesy of CreatureBox

66 GROUPING LAYERS Use layer grouping to organize layers. For example, if drawing a car, you may want to group the layers with tires and hubcaps together, create another group for layers containing the body, headlights, windshield, etc., and a final one for interior components Layer Menu 2. Layer Blending 3. Show/Hide Layer 4. Color Label 5. Collapse/Expand Layer Group CREATING A LAYER GROUP There are three different ways to create a layer group, in the Layer Editor: Click Layer Menu and select New Group. Click.

Note - If you want to see some of the group content, you can hide individual layers within the group.

67 COLORED LAYER OR LAYER GROUP ASSIGNMENTS LAYER BLENDING FOR GROUPS When a layer group is selected, the Blend Mode changes to Pass Through. Any blend mode applied to a layer will affect all layers below it, including ones not in the group. If the group is set to Normal, any blend mode applied to a layer within the group affects only layers in that group. Assign a color to a layer to makes it easier to distinguish one layer or group from another. To assign a color, in the Layer Editor, with a layer or group selected, tap-hold, then flick a color. To un-assign a color, select. COLLAPSING/EXPANDING A GROUP To collapse a group and hide its layers in the Layer Editor, tap. When a group is collapsed, its icon changes to. Tap it to expand the group and see its layers. Group with Pass Through applied Layer with Multiply applied Group with Normal applied Layer with Multiply applied

A A A EDITING TEXT - FOR MAC USERS Through tapping the Font button in the Edit Text Layer window, you can access the following text editing tools: Collections Manage the list of fonts that appear in Family and see only the fonts you want. Create custom font collections. Use default sets to load only fun fonts or ones with fixed width. Load only your favorite fonts or those recently used. Family Select a font from the list. If a font family is not listed, change the Collections option to All Fonts. Typeface Choose from Condensed, Condensed Italic, Bold Condensed, Bold Condensed Italic typefaces. Size Set the size of the text. To set text color, click. TRANSFORMING TEXT Once text appears in the middle of the canvas, you are in Transform mode. Move is set as the default transform. Use the puck to select a different mode. When rotating or scaling the text, SketchBook uses the center of the text as the pivot point. When scaling text, font size is changed, resulting in no visual quality change. Note - Font size determines how much you can scale a font. A font size of 12 cannot be scaled up as much as one set to 24. A font of 12 cannot be scaled down as much as one set to 5. To scale a font any further, return to the Text window and increase or decrease the font size.

71 RASTERIZING A TEXT LAYER Change text into pixels to paint on the same layer. The Text layer is converted into a regular layer and its content is converted to pixels. Paint can be applied to this new layer. In the Layer Editor, flick. Note - When text is rasterized, Edit Text can no longer be applied.

72 12 Animation Have you ever used SketchBook to sketch a concept, annotated it, adding other sketches to try to get an idea across? Next time, create a flipbook. Imagine sending someone a sketch that comes to life. Create cell animation, a prototype, or proof of concept.

73 FLIPBOOK When in Animation Mode, you will be able to set keyframes and scrubbing through your animation, using the timeline that appears. Since this is a flipbook, the Layer Editor will contain four layers: Foreground - Draw the content you want to animate on this layer. Midground - Draw additional content you want to animate on this layer. Background - Draw background elements on this layer. Note - if the Background layer is changed and a keyframe is set the original background is lost. Background Color - Click to access the Color Wheel, Color Palette, and Color Picker to set a background color of your drawing. Use other layers for strokes. Select File > New FlipBook to enter Animation Mode. The Animation Size dialogue that appears contains the following options for setting the parameters your flipbook: Presets - Set the aspect ratio of the file. Select from NTSC, HD, Full HD, or custom. Pixel Dimensions - When custom is selected, use these to set the width and height in pixels. Playback - Set the frame rate per second. Frame Numbers - Set the length (number of frames) of the flipbook.

74 TIMELINE For animating, use the timeline to add, duplicate, move, rearrange, or delete keyframes, scrub through or playback your animation, turn on or off ghosting and set the number of frames ghosted, as well as set the playback range Starting frame of the flipbook/ Starting frame of the playback range 2 Current frame 3 End frame of the flipbook/ End frame of the playback range 4 Show/hide ghosting previous frame/ Show/hide ghosting next frame 5 Auto Keyframe 6 Loop 7 Playback range 8 Playback controls of frames ADDING A KEYFRAME To add a keyframe, select a frame and click.
