If you’re looking to add some extra realism to your illustrations, pressure sensitivity may be the answer. Pressure sensitivity is a feature that allows users to interact with their illustrations in ways that vary depending on how much pressure is applied. This can be used for things like making objects more responsive when you touch them or adding a sense of weight and physicality to your artwork. To add pressure sensitivity in Illustrator, first open the file you want to work with and select the object or objects you want to affect. Next, go to the Properties panel and click on the Pencil icon next to Pressure. This will open up a new dialog box where you can specify how sensitive the object is: The options are Low (0%), Medium (25%), High (50%) and Very High (100%). The higher the percentage, the more sensitive the object will be. Once you’ve set your desired level of sensitivity, click OK and your object will now respond differently depending on how much pressure is applied. For example, if I apply moderate pressure to an object with a low sensitivity setting, it will start shaking; if I apply high pressure, it will break. Adding pressure sensitivity can give your illustrations a more realistic feel and make them more responsive when interacted with. It’s an easy way to add some extra depth and dimension to your work without having to resort to complex programming or 3D rendering techniques.
