Create a new document (File > New)
Set the attributes of your new document, press OK
Select a tool that supports Pen Pressure Sensitivity (Ex: in Artweaver: default brush)
With the pen's pressure levels, you can use your brush the way you would use a real pencil and draw the
thickness and opacity you desire.
The pen can detect 1024 levels of pressure, and use the variation in levels to automatically change the size, the
color, or various settings of the tool you are currently using.
This allows for flexibility and gives a very intuitive feeling to your graphic work.
Move the pen in the tablet's working area: the cursor will follow the movements. Hovering the pen tip at
about 5 mm from the surface will allow you to move the cursor on your screen. When you touch the
tablet's surface, your brush will start drawing on the new document.
The color panel allows you to select different colors.
By default in most drawing programs, the color your brush is applying is black. Depending on the pressure you
exert with the pen on the tablet's surface, your brush will paint in nuances going from white (no pressure) to
black (full pressure).
