USING THE OPTIONAL AIRBRUSH AND ART PEN
The optional Intuos Pro Airbrush works like the Grip Pen, and includes a fingerwheel for additional control.
Hold the Airbrush with your thumb and middle finger. The fingerwheel should be in a convenient location for
you to roll it with your index finger. Tilt the Airbrush for a comfortable position that allows you to paint and
draw with pressure sensitivity.
You can simulate realistic airbrushing with the proper software support. For example, apply pressure on the
tip to control the brush size. Tilt the Airbrush to elongate and feather the spray pattern. Roll the fingerwheel
to adjust the spray intensity.
The optional Intuos Pro Art Pen responds to the pressure, tilt, and rotation you apply to the pen.
Important: When not in use, set the Airbrush or Art Pen flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity
of your tool, do not store it in a container where it will rest on its tip or eraser. Leaving an Intuos Pro
tool on the tablet may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices.

The Art Pen supports 360 degrees of rotation around the pen axis.
As you draw within an application that supports rotation sensitivity,
simply twist the Art Pen to create lines that narrow or broaden.
While painting you can vary the rotation of a non-circular brush to
change the stroke thickness. Depending on the brush shape
characteristics you have selected in your application, you can
simulate calligraphy pens, broad felt tip markers, and any other non-
circular brushes or tools.
