My preferred program is and always has been Photoshop, even if its not really made for painting. Illustrator makes such beautiful and perfect curves and strokes with such little effort. Id like to talk a little about digital inking for comics. Note: although Photoshop has basic vector capabilities, it's not comparable to Illustrator which was designed for that purpose.Īnother example of what's possible with Illustrator, again drawn with a mouse. Similarly I also show the Bezier controls. Similarly here is an example of a vector line drawn in Photoshop with the Pen Tool (set to 'Shape' in the options) with a stroke applied, and no fill applied. In Adobe Illustrator, here's an example of a line drawn with the Brush Tool, using a mouse, with smoothing applied, also showing the Bezier controls. Also after you have drawn the line, then you can do further adjustments to the Bezier curves. In Illustrator you can adjust the smoothness and fidelity of the Brush Tool. Adobe Illustrator a is vector image editor, and is more suitable for line art and illustration. Would be a bit like me saying You do know people want to draw stuff with Photoshop, right Lazy Nezumi Pro is a Windows plugin that adds pen stabilizers.

However, ultimately, Photoshop is really the wrong kind of software for what you are trying to achieve. And it is possible to draw smooth Bezier curves with the Pen Tool and then adjust them later, and apply a stroke to it. A graphics tablet like a Wacom would be a better input device. Lazy Nezumi Pro Let’s kick things off with the Lazy Nezumi plugin, which will help you draw beautiful, smooth lines with your mouse or pen tablet.

In Photoshop there is a smoothing option in the brushes dialog which can somewhat smooth a brush stroke as you apply it, but probably not enough to smooth out the jitters caused by using a mouse.
