A tutorial for KamiNoDarkWolf ! This tutorial doesn't just apply to firealpaca either! Most digital art programs have some kind of bezier tool and they all work pretty much the same way. (Yes, all of them. Even MSPaint.)
Edit: TOTALLY forgot about the reset button (snap settings). For those of you who aren't used to how the snap settings work in FireAlpaca, it is the last button to the right in the snap section. I also marked it on the tutorial. Once you've finished your line and are happy with it, hit this button to start placing points in a new line! Thank you to E-Matt for pointing it out!
Edit 2: People have been asking this a lot, so I thought I should clarify - if you are ever missing tools in FireAlpaca, you probably just don't have the newest version. This tutorial only works if you are running version 1.51 or later. (It might be 1.50 but I might be mistaken. I did this in version 1.52 but it has been around for the last couple of updates.) Let me know if you have any other questions!

the shift thing doesnt exactly work for me but the 4 points thing does i believe

The shift only works when you're not clicking down in a curve. (So it will work always when you are NOT using the curve tool, and sometimes while in the tool)

You're just trying to make a straight line, yes? not like, a slightly curved line?

This is so incredibly useful, even for just trying to do an almost straight line. Thanks!

Glad to be of service! If you're looking for tools to make straight lines you can just hold shift down at any point and it will make a straight line from wherever you last clicked. Otherwise, you can check out my other tutorial here .
Good luck art-ing!

you need to exit out of the curve! Simply click the black dot next to the curve tool on the snap toolbar

if i hit the reset button, the line i did before is gone and i won't be able to complete the lineart :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Ah, you have to draw out your line before you hit the reset button. Trace the line you made with a curve, and then hit the reset button, and it should work!

how did you get that tool ,my program doesn't have it? -mew-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, you need to update your firealpaca! Just go to the offical website and redownload it. C: If you're on PC you'll need to uninstall it and reinstall it, but if you have a mac just drop it into the applications folder and you're golden! >w<
Let me know if you're still having problems!

No problem!
Good luck with the art! >w<
If you have any ideas for new tutorials or tools you'd like explained, just let me know!

Okay I tried it for one line, it worked fine, but when I tried to use the curve tool in another place it doesn't want to work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You need to reset the tool! Next to the the Curve tool there is a little circle button. Hit that and you will be able to place more points so you can make a line in a different place. C:
