O: how do you make your lines so cleanly? I have watched the video and tried with my tablet...Its so shakey. Any tips on that? -besides hold your hand stiller? XD
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about inking an image? If I'm in Photoshop I use the Pen tool and make selections with it to ink rather than using the tablet. To make cleaner lines with a tablet you need to move your hand quickly and make fast lines, although it can be tricky. Also here is a good video about setting up your Wacom Tablet to draw in Photoshop: http://vimeo.com/9582343
DeleteWould anyone else like to weigh in about how to get clean lines drawing with a Tablet in Photoshop?
This is so useful. I'm gonna keep this in mind.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found it interesting!
DeleteThank you! I was feeling like a complete and total dolt trying to figure this out and turns out it's easy-peasy once someone tells you how to properly do it!
