drawing something with painter 11 which is the best tool to ink the lineart? whatever I use the line is never smooth

@LadyBakura92 What kind of lineart are you talking about? I suppose you are thinking about cartoon like lineart, isn't it?

For such lineart, Painter is not so great but you can use circular brush with low spacing or scratchboard tool (I don't like it for this job but it is recommended by some people). You can also try increasing the damping setting which is located under Window/Brush Controls/Spacing.

You can check also this site:

Great video. Where did you get the long grey drop down you were working from? And, how do you get that big round circle around your brush? I can't figure out how to do either and it's driving me crazy!

[hecartha]

@Pymeohmy That's the brush settings you can find under the menu bar/Window/Brush Controls/General

The big round circle is the brush ghosting. You can reactivate it under painter preferences/General and check enable brush ghosting and enhanced brush ghost

Even though there's no audio I learned a lot about the oil brush settings. Thanks.

[Pymeohmy]

I found the brush settings..thank you very much. I also found the brush ghosting and it was already activated ...so I don't know why i don't have the big circle on my brush. I unclicked it, and then went back in and clicked it again, but still have just a tiny circle. I don't know why this is bugging me so much, lol. Anyway, thank you for your help!
