(I'm sure everyone is aware of this "effect" but I'm just throwing it out there for others who may be new to the interface and for discussion of course.)
Well, it seems like if I spend enough time I will eventually find somewhere that a mention is made of something like this. I'm just not finding anything that exploits the potential use. I most likely just overlooked it.
Examples below are with a brush width at 150, with Draw Shape Outline (the default) for drawing the shapes. This can result in something other than the listed shape due to how PDN currently draws these things. The overlap of the size of the brush and movement of the mouse/input determines the pattern generated. The freeform is a little odd as it is a continuous draw so it may not prove useful unless you're just looking for a starting smudge or inspirational shape to work from I suppose.
The rectangle while using shift will give a nice offset box at 45 degrees inside the primary outline. The rest depend on the direction of movement from from the starting point.
Examples:
In trying to grasp a little more about actual "drawing" with PDN is where this is coming from. Trying to understand mini-brushes enough to write on them, how they actually differ from other uses, and as usual, an accidental tool selection resulted in my sharing this up.
Please let me know if this was covered somewhere else, etc.
