Draw a cave using a Rock Wall Brush

 

 

To clearly distinguish the difference of the light source here,

The rock wall brush (black) has two kinds of brush materials,
one for normal and one for cave.

First of all, Use the cave brush to draw the foremost side without a light source.
As for the cave brush material,
it is possible to draw a stroke like the figure shown below by default.

Remove the random check from the thickness pull down (blue frame).
* If you remove the check, the width of the thickness expands and you can draw parts of weak perspective naturally.
