Unleash your creativity with the new pen tools 

Fountain Pen allows users to make thinner lines and detail lettering. You can use speed and pressure to control the thickness of your writing.  

Brush Pen is directional based allowing users to create artistic letters with minimal efforts. With the brush pen, the thickness updates automatically with direction of the stroke.   getting started with fountain pens and brush pens screenshot eight.png​​​​​​​ getting started with fountain pens and brush pens screenshot nine.png​​​​​​​
