In order to let you know about the minute details of the tools provided in the software we made a list of them so you can have a clear and better idea of what they are about and so you can choose the one that suits perfectly for you.

• Marker

The marker option in the Paint 3D software is known to have the best and uniform stroke wherever you use it. It provides a full and clean look into the image. Although it is quite similar to the pixel pen tool that it has but the one thing where it is different is that it bleed parts of colors into the pixels that are near to it, just to give a softer look.

• Calligraphy pen

The calligraphy pen tool provides easy and simple calligraphy simply from pen to work. Although it is quite similar to the rest of the markers but the thickness of the strokes is something that makes it different. The thickness will start to change as soon as your pen’s movement and speed increases or decreases.

• Oil brush

The oil brush tool in Paint 3D is known for providing the truest brush look. The brush has a more thicker and pixilated effect which will help you in hiding the image in the background as compared to that of the effect the marker provides.

• Watercolor

The watercolor brush is used by people who want to choose an option that will help them faint the color in some areas but darker in others. This tools helps in providing variations. Using the brush will help you easily darken the color of this tool brush.

All you have to do is simply brush it over the same area again, even if it’s done one time. You must be thinking that it is similar to the spray can tool, however there is one major difference in both of them. The spray can tool have soft edges, while watercolor tool’s edges aren’t as soft as that.

• Pixel pen

Although the pixel pen tools looks just as same as the marker tool but they still plays different roles than one another. The pixel pen is used to color the entirety of each and every pixel that it reaches. The pixel pen creates a very smooth and uniform look and it will never bleed a single bit on any other pixel no matter how you use it.

This tool will surely cause rigid edges but that seems okay to people because then they know it will also make it easy for them to paint next to solid lines quickly and easily.

• Pencil

The pencil tool revolves between 5px and 10px and for this reason it is known to be a good deal for a person who wants to give it a freehand look. The tool removes all set boundaries for them.

• Eraser

The eraser tool in Paint 3D will help you remove all the customizations that you made previously. Although it will always keep the object intact but it is a great tool that can be used if you want to start entirely from scratch without any colors or designs.

The tool does not erase what you drew earlier. This might be a little surprising for you but its work has been mentioned above.

• Crayon

This tool is good if you want to give your image and changes a chalky look. This is almost near to a wet look of your images and changes. The center of the strokes you will make will not be fully covered unless you keep making changes however the edges will always be similar in those nearby pixels.

These are some of the tools that can be used by any person who is thinking of using the software and in order to provide you with a detailed look of how these tools work, we summarized it for you. Choose them accordingly!
