You can use the Transform tool to edit your stencil (move, flip, resize, rotate) or you can use keyboard shortcuts. Rotate: Alt + click and drag left or right Resize: Ctrl (Cmd) + click and drag left or right Move the stencil around by right clicking and dragging, or holding the Space Bar and clicking normally. If you want to create a very simple shape such as a circle, then you can use existing stencils or the selection tool to define the area before adding paint. This also lets you jump ahead a little when it comes to creating a border! However, if you are painting a shape from scratch, it can be as simple or complicated as you like, and these steps will work.Īfter you have created your shape, create a stencil out of it. To turn it into a stencil, go to the layers options to ‘Create Stencil From Layer Contents’, or export that image as a black and white shape and then open Stencils and import it as a new stencil. Note: If your shape is not solid (it has semi-transparent areas), then the stencil will not be completely opaque and will allow you to paint into the translucent areas. As long as the edges are solid, then you can avoid the translucent areas. You can add a new layer behind your paint to work on if you wish, or keep working on the same layer. It will be easier to edit the border later if it is on a different layer, but you may not need any extra steps.
