Quick menu is one of the options in Gesture Controls, so you'll select the way to invoke your quick menu. Go to your Settings and hit Preferences, then come to Gesture Controls. Like I said, I press and hold and that’s the way I prefer to have my quick menu pop up. So how do you set up your own quick menu options? Well, first you have to make sure that your quick menu is enabled and figure out what action you want to take to make the menu appear. You can see how, again, that can really streamline my workflow. Press and hold again, tap Drawing Assist again, and now it’s off. Well, instead of coming over and tapping the layer to turn off Drawing Assist, all I have to do is press and hold Drawing Assist. ![]() Let’s say I’ll be working in symmetry and I’ll be trying to draw adhering to the guides, but then I quickly need to go in and do something without the guides. And now, whatever I draw does not adhere to those guides. If I tap my layer once, I can hit “Drawing Assist” to turn it off. (It doesn’t matter for the sake of this video what the symmetry settings are.) Now, with Drawing Assist on, whatever I draw gets duplicated according to my symmetry guide settings. Let’s go to Settings and turn on Drawing Guide, then click Edit Drawing Guide. So if you have a layer where drawing Assist is turned on, the word “Assisted” appears right below it. If you’ve seen any of my videos that utilize the symmetry guides ( full playlist here), you'll know that Drawing Assist is crucial. This is really useful for adhering to guidelines or using the symmetry guides. Next up on my quick menu is Drawing Assist. You can see how easy that is, and how much faster than going into the brush menu, selecting it, going back to the menu, etc, etc. And I’ve instantly moved over to monoline, but now I want to quickly go back to the calligraphy brush. So what if, let’s say, I want a monoline brush now. I can I come in here and I can select any brush now. And what I’ve done in my own library is create a folder specifically for my favorite brushes, and I have that at the top so that when I enter this mini menu, the very first action – the very first selection – is my “Favorites” brush folder. Every brush pack that I have in my library can be accessed through this mini menu now. ![]() I’ll just bring up my quick menu again and go to my second saved action – which is “Select brush” – and hold it for a quick second. So now let’s say that I want to change my brush. Then I'll come here to my favorite brush, my fine calligraphy flourishing brush. I’m going to make a new layer here so that I can just draw a little bit and just show you as I go. ![]() So number one here, that I have programmed, is my absolute, all-time favorite brush.
