Drawing lines

GIMP Version: 2.8.14

Hey....I would like to draw a line but would like to miss out 1 pixel every other pixel. I have tried using the spacing but cannot get the spacing i need to create this....I can draw a line for a few pixels missing every other but then it puts 2 pixels together now and then...please help :)

You could check to see that any brush dynamics settings isn't the cause?

Is it for a straight line or for a curve?

In case you are using the pixel brush with pencil tool and dynamics off,
spacing set to 300 should work!

Hi Deblk, Is this is what you referring?

I used the Pencil with the "2. Block 01". The sample above as you see is with a pencil size=40 px with a Spacing=102. Depending on the size (brush size) of the line you want to draw, you have to set the spacing, and that might be a trial and error until you get what you want.

I am using pencil size 1 pixel to create a pixel art type image that needs a 1 pixel space in-between pixels if you get my meaning lol
