    Learn how to use the brush stabilizer to create smooth lines in your digital art. I'll be demonstrating this feature in Photoshop, but it is available in many other art apps as well. This feature allows you to draw smooth lines, curves and shapes. It works great for drawing with a tablet and makes drawing with a mouse much easier.

    I've been an artist for 15 years and I have essential tremors (constant shaking hands) and this is a godsend for my digital work. I still practice on physical medium so my muscle memory gets finer tuned, but things like very light strokes were near impossible for me an very embarrassing in art school.

      same, but i have adhd and my medication makes me a bit more relaxed but i get energy and it cant like get out so i shake always and idk if i have that thing u have but i know my mum does so i think theres a chance i have it and i also always shake on paper this isnt that much of a problem but digital it is my lines just go to left right all over

    Your explanation of how friction produces stabilisation and the sensory technology of the hardware make cause wobbly lines was such invaluable insight. I'm a person who likes to understand a problem and how a solution fixes that.

    Well done tutorial, and thank you! I'm glad Photoshop added this feature, as it makes someone like me who has a very "sketchy" style able to make digital art that looks crisp and clean, without the need of third-party softwares.

      Paint Tool SAI still has a better brush engine and paint engine, also the line stabilizer is still better. PLUS editable vector lines.
      Photoshop is a good all around graphics tool, but for digital art, it's probably the worst.
