Sketchpad

Lines of Different Heights

There are multiple ways to create lines of different heights and definitions on the Sketchpad:

Pressure: 

Pressing 

h

arder  while  drawing  will  create  a  more  defined  tactile  line.  

Experiment with all levels of pressure to get a feel for the types and definitions of  

lines that are possible

Stylus Tip:  

The stylus included with your sketchpad has two ends, both of  which 

can be used to create tactile lines. We recommend using the 

more 

pointed end for  

most drawing, but the round

er

 end can be used to create thicker, more tactile lines.   

With this end, however, you will need to pu

s

h harder to make tactile lines.

Stylus Angle

As mentioned earlier in the Manual, the angle of the stylus while drawing has a big impact 

on the ease and speed of tactile drawing. The stylus should be angled so that the tip is drag-

ging

For example, if you are drawing a line left-to-right, the drawing tip should be further 

to the left, while the other end of the stylus should be pointing up from the sheet and to the 

right.
