                 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.

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

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

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