Hey Guys... I just had a question for all of you...
Typically when working with my tablet I work in Photoshop with the brush tool to make my lines. But I'm trying to get cleaner lines and I wanted to know where to start.
Should I use the pen tool in photoshop and the paths, and do you use freehand pen tool or actually make each curve seperatly?
Should I try Illustrator? In illustrator... do you use the brush tool? With what sort of tip... I imagine it would be a really tapered artist brush but I'm not sure.
Just wondering... or if you do something that I didn't mention at all let me know. I'm just looking for a different way to make cleaner marks easier.
Thanks!

I usually make a thin, medium & thick brush. Be sure to set the diameter equal to the variation on the last setting and set it as a pressure sensitive. I used to use brush pens/ink, but I've found Illustrator to be faster/more forgiving.
