Pencil tool Pencil Tool

With the Pencil Tool you can create a hand-drawn look by drawing freehand, variable width, lines as if you were drawing on paper.

As you draw, nodes are created automatically and can be edited with the Node Tool.

Its variable width lines can be controlled either by velocity—most useful when drawing with a mouse—or by pressure—for use when drawing with a pressure sensitive tablet.
