It is not a brush to download, but a setting to draw for example a frame around an image

If not already opened go to Windows > Dockable Dialogs > Paint Dynamics, once opened, go at the bottom of that dialog and create a new dynamic

Image

A new dialog opens, check the checkbox at the intersection of Fade and Angle, and give it a name (at the top), here I named it Rotative, we are done with dynamics :yes

Image

Select the brush tool and a brush in the Tool Options, for this example I selected the most common/used brush in GIMP and input those settings
1Brush: 2. Hardness 075
2Aspect Ratio: -14 (minus fourteen)
3Dynamics: Select "Rotative" (or the name you did gave)
4Extend the Dynamics Options to unveil the Fade length and Repeat and Inverse options
5Fade lenght: ~200,
6Repeat: Sawtooth wave,
7and check Inverse
Now you're good to go :yes

Image

One dab on the canvas, Ctrl+ Shift + click on the other side of the canvas for a straight line.

Result in just Ctrl+ Shift + 4 clicks after the first dab :mrgreen:

Thanks for this tutorial. Don't know that anyone has done one on dynamics before?

Thanks again for this. Using this dynamic and stroking a path makes for an interesting finish. The only one I've used before was track direction.

Perfect! Indeed, it's much more a tuto than a brush, thank you Sallyanne
And also your title is way better IMO :bigthup
:tyspin

I might have made one long ago to make some sort of "rope threads" > https://media.sciencephoto.com/h1/00/04 ... 0px-wm.jpg still with the "rotative" but 3 circles selection and a gradient inside each circle
But I can't recall if it was a "tuto" or just a participation to a thread in here :oops:

Just want to add some more positive and thankful words - well done, neat use of brush dynamics.

I did something similar a while back. Same method, but a different use.

This is cool! I know this is an old post, but I'm very impressed.
For the Mac users, it's Command + Shift + click

Thank you!
