Stifled Dreams:
THEORY: If you draw fast enough that smoothing will make a difference, you will notice that something is amiss if it isn't turned on.

Mollinda:
Damn my smoothing is on anyway and I still get jaggy lines from drawing too fast!!!

nEmoGrinder:
PART ONE: Actually it may be the tablet?  I personally use a graphire 2, a little old tech and I notice in photoshop that my lines look choppy.  I never tried PHOTOSHOP smoothing (probably because I didn't know it existed) but I HAVE used illustrator which I'm assuming has smoothing on automatically and I can totally tell the difference.

maybe you have a better tablet than I do, faster transfer rate/better DPI and therefore have no need for smoothing because the tablet is accurately drawing on teh screen what you draw on the pad.

IF this is true PLEASE let me know because I am thinking of buying a graphire 4 from best buy so I can start my own comic and not have to go through the hassel of adjusting lines and the like.

PART TWO: I'm assuming all of you use photoshop (I'm very comfortable with it) and now that I know smoothign exists I can stop using illustrator (which just confuses me because I don't use it much).

any other suggestions for programs to use?  I've done flash but i think it exaggerates the line weight/shape a bit too much.  I actually really like the way illustrator does line weight but until I get used to it I'd rather have a OK looking comic than an experimental crappy comic.

kid_militia:
for personal use as well as work use, I use an Intuos 3 (9"x12") with Photoshop:CS and have never experienced nor heard of these mentioned problems with smooth lines. if you're really looking for something new, I give personal recommendation. obviously the 9"x12" size is not a requirement, but from what I've heard compared to what I've experienced, the intuos line of products is excellent.

painting with intuos 3 and ps6 (before I had cs):


I'm no master painter, and I definitely dont get paid for this, but having the right tool for the job helps me pretend it.
