1. A method, comprising: using a computer to perform: detecting a touch on a surface of a tablet device; coincident with detecting the touch, detecting a stylus gesture performed via user manipulation of a stylus, the stylus gesture being one of a plurality of stylus gestures that each correspond to at least one of a plurality of actions in a graphics application, at least one of the plurality of stylus gestures configured to mimic a natural painting operation, and the stylus gesture includes moving the stylus in a fanning motion; responsive to detecting the stylus gesture and the touch, invoking a work mode that adjusts input parameters of a particular natural painting operation that corresponds to the stylus gesture, including invoking an arc drawing tool responsive to detecting the stylus moving in the fanning motion; and performing the particular natural painting operation in the graphics application, including drawing an arc in the graphics application with a focal point on the touch.
