Review 2 (0.2.2)

Two weeks ago we did a user test of Leonardo on Martin Piazzolla. These are the main things we came up with:

  1. Martin loved being able to rotate the canvas but didn’t like the shortcut Space+Shift. Martin usually rotated the canvas in a way that made it possible to move the hand in a back-and-forth (as opposed to left-right) direction while painting.
  2. Martin loved the draw straight line tool and was able to find the shortcut himself (Shift).
  3. Martin used the eraser a lot, both as a painting effect and a way of undoing mistakes. Martin likes to work with an eraser with a large diameter as well a smaller one.
  4. Martins brush setting of choice for sketching was a hard round 24 pixel wide brush at 36% zoom with a light blue color.
  5. Martin liked to outline his sketch with a hard black brush with a diameter that depends on pressure (not possible on the current version).
  6. Martin requested the “multiply blending mode” between layers.
