Natural media painting using proximity-based tablet stylus gestures

摘要

Techniques for natural media painting using proximity-based tablet stylus gestures are described. A stylus is implemented for user manipulation to simulate a brush stroke of a paint brush, where the stylus includes an application tip formed from individual virtual bristles that simulate the paint brush. A graphics application is implemented to receive an input of the brush stroke, compute an effect of each individual virtual bristle of the brush stroke to determine simulated paint application on a virtual canvas, and initiate a display of the simulated paint application on the virtual canvas based on the computed effect of each individual virtual bristle of the brush stroke.
