Pen pressure controlled brush spacing

Hi,

For some tattoo design work I would like to set a brush preset in which the speed of my pen (working on a Microsoft surface book on photoshop CC) would adjust the distance between the dots, so speeding up my strokes would increase the distance between the dots.

Thanks in advance

hi brad, thanks for your answer. The solution is to set the spacing to what you want it to be (quite high) and then to turn off the spacing by unchecking the spacing box. This allows the brush to create dots in the drawing time rather than drawing distance.

Hi Felix,

Unfortunately, in Photoshop currently there is no "Pen Pressure" associated with Spacing. You can adjust the Size of the dot with Pen Pressure turned on in Shape Dynamics, but the Spacing option stays constant. You might be able to create the look you are going for by drawing a line and then manually erasing every other one, every other two, etc.

Just a thought!

If you have access to Photoshop Sketch it has a great Velocity co tool for brushes. However I don't think it can affect spacing, it affects either Flow or thickness of the lines.

In your brush settings under spacing try different spacing adjustments?
