It just feels like there are hundreds of refinements involved…just the right amount of drag, responsiveness, and so on. I do not know what is responsible for it under the hood. The Brush and Pencil tools are used for drawing and sketching. Pencil lines support pressure sensitivity and texture. The pencil creates a central vector shape. I grew up with traditional mediums and do not think plastic on plastic or glass can ever match pens and pencils on paper.Īlso worth noting: Strokes in Photoshop and Illustrator are much easier to control than Harmony. The Pencil tool is for drawing the final images, such as character nodes, cut-out puppet and clean animation. That last 2% I accept as something I can live with using a computer. In combination with the smoothing feature I feel like I am about 98% there. I would end up with flourishes when I did not intend it. I have always had a problem with Wacom tablets. Worth mentioning: Some of this has been reduced by changing the physical tool as well. By dialing in just enough smoothing it has helped me enough that it is no longer a problem.
I have had trouble controlling my linework at times. I have not used a feature like you described as a stabilizer but the closest thing that offers a form of stability to your stroke is the smoothing feature.
