Creating a texture brush in SketchBook Pro Desktop Once you’ve created brush (see Changing brush properties and Custom brushes), a texture can be added to it, using either one of the default textures, by importing a texture or by capturing one. Once you have selected a texture, you can play with it, making it subtle or adding complexity. It adds another dimension to your stroke. If you want to create a brush stroke that looks like you’ve painted over a surface with a texture, such as canvas, or like you’ve shaded over a piece of paper with a coin underneath it, try creating a texture brush. If you want to create a brick wall and add graffiti to it, you’ll need a texture brush to simulate the textured surface and the paint of the graffiti that soaked into the pores of the brick. Texture brushes can make something look soft, fluffy, even gritty. Use this texture to help simulate the look and feel of something in the real world.

What is a texture brush and why use one? A texture brush turns a smooth stroke into something far more interesting, by adding a texture to it.
