              Paint Tools

              The Pencil Tool, Paintbrush, Airbrush, and Ink Tool are the four fundamental paint tools in GIMP.  To sketch, paint, or
              otherwise change an image, all of these can be used in similar ways.

                                  For free-hand strokes with a sharp edge, use the pencil tool. This tool also does not create fuzzy
                  Pencil Tool     edges, even when the brush is extremely fuzzy. Anti-aliasing (smoothing of sharp edges) also cannot
                                  be done.

                                  Fuzzy brush strokes are produced by paintbrush. The currently selected brush is used to create each
                  Paintbrush
                                  stroke.
                  Airbrush        Provides an authentic airbrush. It helps to paint softer colour regions, use this tool.

                                  This tool creates antialiased brush lines with firm edges by simulating an ink pen with an adjustable
                  Ink Tool
                                  nib. To control how the strokes are drawn, you can adjust the nib’s size, form, and angle.
