Also, if you're drawing for digital animation and intend to use the Auto-Patch effect to connect the parts of your character model, you should use pencil lines for the Auto-Patch effect to work as expected. The pencil line is more appropriate for the final line of your clean drawings. Transparent pencil lines may not display the way you want when they overlap: If you sketch a drawing using a semitransparent colour to get a paper-like feel, you should use the Brush tool, as it produces a more realistic and natural feel.

The Pencil and shape tools produce central vector lines.

The Brush tool produces contour vector lines. Both tools support pressure sensitivity, allowing you to create lines with variable thickness. The Brush and Pencil tools are used for drawing and sketching.
