Making action lines with the Dark stream line tool
In addition to the regular Stream line tool, there is also a subtool for a Dark stream line. Let's learn how to use it.
Getting ready
You will need an open file to work in. Again, the size and resolution don't matter. We will continue using the image from the previous recipe as our example.
How to do it…
The following steps will show you how to use the Dark stream line tool:
Select the Figure(U) tool from the toolbox. Then go to Stream line | Dark stream line.
Click on the canvas to create a starting point. Then double-click on another point to create an ending point. Lines will be made by the program according to the currently selected settings.
To make edits to the current stream lines, select the Operation tool and then the Object subtool. Select the stream lines to make them active. Next, select the Stream line subtool again while the existing lines are selected, and then open the Sub Tool Detail palette.
