   How to easily change the size of the “brush” when using warp tools, and even when using brush. I know that one way is to double click on the tool and in case of brush you can adjust the stroke, but what about other possibilities? Are there any keyboard shortcuts?

   ps. nice tutorials, I follow them from the beginning

   Hi Lolka, with the warp tool selected, hold Alt/Option to resize it. Hold shift to constrain proportions. Hope it helps.

   works! real thanks! probably more convenient than in PS I understand that in case of brush it is a lot different story, because we actually dont draw/paint but place a path.

   That’s why I don’t understand what is the difference between Paintbrush and Pencil. In my opinion there is no difference at all
