Basic tips on using the pen tool in Sai

Sorry that it just cuts off I couldn't think of anything else to say or do. LOL

The drawing in the BG was already open when I decided to make the video so I didn't bother closing it.
You can see that drawing here. http://i26.tinypic.com/14ux3wk.png

:0 How do your lines come out so smooth and nice? I use a tablet, but mine comes out horrible. My Paint Tool SAI's different to yours, too.

@NightOfTheWereCat

Try updating your tablet driver. If that doesn't work then you can try turning smoothing up a little higher in sai.

This video is about Vector Layers/Linework Layers. That might be why you're confused?

Well that's good to hear. I am glad that your problem was resolved.

@Nicole1725 Thank you so much! :) It works now ^_^

Well try running some tests in the Control Panel tablet settings. If that does not work, you can try going to the Wacom website and downloading the updated driver.

You can also go into Help/Config > Options in Sai. There are tablet settings in there as well.

@Nicole1725 I think so. I used the DVD/CD thing and now I have Bamboo Dock on my CP. Is that what you mean?

@TheAllycatPrincess

Have you installed your tablet driver?

[TheAllycatPrincess]

I have the Wacom Bamboo Tablet.
