#pen settings

[godbirdart]

I actually super appreciate all the art related tutorial things you've been posting lately but I do have one question: Any tips for improving lineart? I swear I can never get my lines to be where I'd like them to.

there's a couple things that could impact your lineart! i'm assuming this is more a pen issue rather than an issue with drawing technique, so do correct me if i misinterpreted!

first, check the stabilizer on your brush. this is a screenshot from Clip Studio, it may look different or be in a different spot in other programs. the stabilizer smoothens out your lines while you draw and how high it is can impact how clean / jittery your lines look.

if that isn't the culprit, check your pen settings [for Clip this is under File > Pen Pressure Settings]. Again, it'll be different for other art programs.

alternatively, check what mode your pen's operating on; Wintab or Tablet PC. [File > Preferences > Tablet]. Sometimes the pen can be funky if it's on one setting or the other. Switch between the two, see if it makes any difference. My tablet is a Huion Kamvas Studio 22 and wants to works best with Wintab.

lastly - check your tablet calibration and the pen itself. Most tablets have a way to calibrate them if you go into the application for it on your PC.

I accidentally worked with a broken pen for four years and didn't know until mine spontaneously gave up the ghost a month ago, so don't rule out the fact that the pen itself could be a culprit. Replacing a pen can be expensive though, so check everything else first before you go making purchases.

Hope your lines improve!! ;w;

Yo!! I'm sure you've gotten this question a lot but I was wondering what brush you use for lineart in csp?? The quality looks so tasty and i've been trying out a bunch of brushes to see which ones'll stick w me

"Real G Pen"! It's one of the standard ones that comes with the prgoram, I just set the min size to like 20 or 30% (^^)/

Hey spyer im getting into drawing but I don't know how to get smooth lines how do you do it? your lines are always incredibly smooth.

Hey! SO what you want is a tablet and pen as well as a drawing program that registers pen pressure, most of them do this, but if you’re using a program like MS paint, it does not. 

Next you want to find your Stabilization setting. I use CSP (Clip Studio Paint) and my Stabilization settings are found under the brush / pen settings. 

The Higher the number the lower the brush sensitivity, making it easier to get a smooth line affect (even with shaky hands) 

 I tend to keep my Stabilizer around 5-10 for sketching and 35-40 when I'm working on line art. Now I don't recommend using high stabilizers because they can make your overall art lose a lot of sharpness, but the best way to counteract this is to Zoom in while drawing. 

Good Luck and god speed!

Hello!! I was wondering, would it be okay if you could share your sai sketching brush configurations? :0

I use the pen tool for sketching. The settings are close to default, but here you go! Have a sketch of Kurato too.
