When I say blobbier lines, I’m referring to this: I am aware of a plugin, Lazy Nezumi, that’s a stabilizer for Photoshop, but I have not tried it yet. With my doodles from the last post, I think the ones in Photoshop and Sketchbook took me around twice as long as the ones in Sai and Clip Studio. Now, eventually I could get Photoshop’s lineart to look as neat as Sai’s, but that would take a longgg time. Starting from the same sketch, I took the same amount of time to do lineart in both Photoshop and Sai, with my stabilizer set at 15 and brush size at 4: See how the lines without the stabilizer seem kind of wobbly? The stabilizer is a great help for those who are starting out with a tablet or when making slower strokes. (The equivalent in Sketchbook is “predictive stroke” and I think in Manga Studio 4, it kinda does it automatically, so whenever I refer to Sai, by extension I’m referring to Clip Studio too.) So, in Paint Tool Sai, there’s a setting call “stabilizer” in the top toolbar. There’s no such thing as a dumb question when you’re seeking knowledge.
