 If you have trouble drawing long and smooth lines on your inking or painting, you can get help from the stabilizer. To activate it, select the freehand brush tool, go to the tool option docker, expand the menu to see and select the stabilizer, disable the delay option checkbox, and then experiment with the sample count, the strength of the stabilization. And it's done. Now let me explain a little bit more about this. Any stabilization will always introduce a delay between the tip of your pen and what Krita traces. And this artificial lag is how Krita can process and smooth the information. The higher you set the sample count, the more delay and also the more effect of smoothing you will get. And in reverse, the lower the sample count and the lower the delay so more freedom of movement but also less smoothing. Unfortunately, by default, this artificial lag will directly affect the brush outline you see on the canvas. It will be very difficult to paint this way, you won't have any feedback on your movement. To restore proper feedback, go to setting, configure Krita, general, and in cursor tab, select the small circle or the cursor of your choice. Brush Cursors aren't affected by this artificial lag. So now you can see your movement with the brush cursor and how the brush outline tries to catch up with it. As for the options, we uncheck a delay because in my opinion, it's mostly a useful option when using a mouse. I skipped showing you weighted because it was the only smoothing option in Krita 10 years ago, and stabilizer is a better alternative in my opinion. It's still here for legacy, but this option has a lot of trouble ending lines correctly and the smoothing is a bit difficult to manage. Other smoothing options like Norn and BASIC both have no options. The first one is just the raw input of your tablet, and the second one is some basic filtering that Krita does automatically. It's always on by default. To make your life a little better, if you use the stabilizer often, go to settings, configure toolbar, expand the top menu and select the brush and stuff toolbar, and look for smoothing in the search field, and use the little arrow to plug a BASIC and a stabilizer in your toolbar, and you can arrange them using the up and down arrow. But be careful because these two new icons in your toolbar will have no feedback at all. But at least you will be able to quickly toggle them on or off during long hours of work.
