The Brush Puck provides a shortcut for changing brush opacity and size.
Using the Brush Puck in Sketchbook Pro for desktop
If the Brush Puck isn't already visible, you will need to open it. In the menu bar along the top, select Window > Brush Puck. To close the puck, tap the circle in its top right corner.
Changing brush opacity with the Brush Puck
Drag vertically up and down across the puck to increase/decrease the brush's opacity. If the active brush does not have an opacity setting, this will instead increase/decrease Flow.
Resizing a brush with the Brush Puck
Drag across the puck to the right to increase a brush’s size or to the left to decrease it.
You can constrain the brush puck to only affect brush size (and not opacity/flow) in Preferences. In the Brush tab, change the setting to Change brush size only and tap OK.
Using the Double Puck in Sketchbook for mobile
Sketchbook for mobile devices doesn't have a singular Brush Puck. Due to the smaller screen size of mobile devices, it has the Double Puck.
Use the top portion of the Double Puck to change brush size and opacity. Use the bottom section to change the saturation and luminance/brightness of the active color.
- Brush size and opacity
