LOL... "tethered" What in the world was I trying to say there? Maybe I was mad because I can't get my "Wifi Tether" working on my new phone. Who knows. I meant 'feathered' (like anti-aliasing)

If you look at the reference work I posted, the linework is not a consistent thickness and is 'feathered' in some areas. That is, it's kinda shaved in some places, and bolder in some areas to add emphasis and draws attention. Versus vector work where if you add a line or "stroke", it is a consistent 3px thick line all around... a thick line can add or detract from the color work. You just have to draw over and see what works better...

What program are you using? Are you using a basic version of PHotoshop or full?
I can try to send you my brushes for linework if you are using the full...

Something like this is a good example of variation of line:

blah blah blah

Yeah, vectors/ lines with constant thickness usually don't look very good. Thanks for the examples

TIP TIME: I recently discovered something nice in the pen tool that combines the accutacy of vectors with the style of a pressure sensitive pen. After marking a path with the pen, check the box mark 'simulate pen pressure'. It produces a great result imo. See Ichigo's hair, lots of straight lines and curves that need to be exact.

I use regular (full) photoshop. I probably wouldn't know what to do with the brushes, but sure, why not :p

Cool sketches, btw. The anime girl was cool too. Are they yours?

Question: Do you know of an easier way to create smooth cruves in PS? I use the regular brush, but it's very hard to draw a prefect curve (I often undo/try again a lot till I get it right), or I use the pen tool (the vector tool) to get exact results. I'm thinking perhaps there's an option for line smoothing, like some applications have sometimes. Any idea?
