Here's my gift to say thank you for 1400+ watchers (thank you! )

Edit: Okay, I said at the top that I use my pen for coloring and my brush for lining... ALWAYS
so in case you missed that: i use my brush for lining!

well yeah this brush can make super smooth lines, but also you can add an vector layer so you can change things afterwards and drag the lines around.

i never do.

secret-pony In reply to DavidCurser [2013-04-07 21:37:12 +0000 UTC]

True, but I find the vector tools to be very "hard" and solid. And the ends of a stroke aren't very sharp either.

so, I prefer to do everything with the normal tools ^^
Even the 'regular' pen tool seems softer than the vector pen. but maybe I'm just imagining things x3

Thanks for this! I found it very helpful for computer art in general I reckon I might give Sai a go, I currently use gimp but it doesn't seem to support my tablet very well

secret-pony In reply to Twizzle-fizz [2012-12-25 09:40:19 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome ^^
I don't have any experience with any other program but SAI,
but from what I hear from others... just don't use GIMP
it's a weird program

Twizzle-fizz In reply to secret-pony [2012-12-25 09:46:18 +0000 UTC]

yeah, I've just been using it while I've got into computer art since it's free, but I guess it's time to upgrade!

I heard fire alpaca (or something like that) is a free program and it's a bit similar to photoshop.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who uses that damn stroke stabilizer.

Usually when I ask people just wonder what it is, either that or tell me that, "a real artist doesn't need a stabilizer."

And then I want to punch people ^u^

genstian In reply to KarkIes [2012-08-11 18:13:18 +0000 UTC]

I think your only option is to use a tool that has dampning or stabilization, like Corel painter. Sad that Adobe can't add it into PS, it's a fairly easy feature to make.

KarkIes In reply to genstian [2012-08-11 21:42:09 +0000 UTC]

I know v .v I had to go and use illustrator which worked for what I needed but it still wasnt stable enough o3o

genstian In reply to KarkIes [2012-08-11 23:28:29 +0000 UTC]

Shouldn't be too hard to make a version of LazyNezumi that would work on mac either.

If you can get Flash, it has a stabilizer. It's not quite as nice as SAI's though ^ u^'

KarkIes In reply to mistress0812 [2012-11-30 19:29:35 +0000 UTC]

oh i have flash, i agree it makes my lines look atrocious, but luckily i have foudn a program that has a wonderful stabilizer just like sai that i use now, but thank you for taking the time to make a suggestion c:

Practice, my little grasshopper

When I started out I had it set all the way to S-7. It was reeeeally slow but it helped and gradually I made my way to S-3 or 2
