To sketch on different regions of a canvas plane, you may want to move or track the view (left, right, up, or down) or zoom or dolly the view (forward or back).
Brushes are most responsive when you are viewing the canvas plane at its actual size (1:1 or 100%).
Brush strokes may appear slow when you are zoomed out of a canvas plane; however, this is because the stroke is actually very large relative to the canvas plane.
You can only track and dolly the view of a canvas plane that is in an orthographic view. You cannot track or dolly the view of a canvas plane that is in a perspective view.
You can access the middle mouse button and right mouse button using the side button on your stylus.
