Here is a short guide on the basic tips found in the TRUArt Stage 2 Pyrography Kit.
Universal tip/rounded
- This is the standard tip for writing, wide line shading, and texture work.
- Good for both outlining and shading
- This a great tip to get started with as it is the most versatile
Pointed tip
- This tip is good for fine, detailing lines. You can get extremely fine details with this tip
- This tip is also good for fine lettering
Flat tip
- The flat shader creates a wider path in smooth tones. Good for shading areas quickly
- This tip is great for creating different patterns quickly as well
Curve tip/horseshoe tip
- You can use the pointy side for lines and the curved side for dark, solid burns.
- Good for shading
- Can also be used as a stamp to create scale markings
Ballpoint
