Claim:
1. A system, comprising: a stylus to track user manipulation to simulate paint deposition of a paint brush, the stylus comprising one or more accelerometers and one or more positional sensors; a processor; and a memory having computer readable media with instructions stored thereon that are executable on the processor to implement a graphics application to perform operations comprising: receiving an input of paint deposition from the stylus, the input comprising accelerometer and positional data indicating that the stylus is located at an initial location above a tablet device not contacting the tablet device and followed by additional accelerometer and positional data indicating the stylus moved at a speed and a direction to a second location closer to the tablet device not contacting the tablet device; employing a brush model to simulate the paint deposition of the paint brush, the brush model simulating individual virtual bristles of the paint brush being modeled to change shape during the paint deposition; computing an effect of the individual virtual bristles during the paint deposition based on the input received to determine the simulated paint deposition on a virtual canvas; and initiating a display of the simulated paint deposition on the virtual canvas based on the computed effect of the individual virtual bristles of the paint brush during the paint deposition.
