Oekaki question... ?!?

Postby Hoot » Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:47 am

I feel really silly, asking a question like this, but here goes nothing:
When I'm browsing the Oekaki forums, I sometimes see paintings that have tapering lines. I don't really know how to explain this... Whenever I try to draw something, the lines all end in blunt, rounded points, and I don't know how to make them pretty and thinning. If you know what I'm talking about and can help me, please do, because I'm at a loss for which tool or technique to use. Thanks!

There are two ways to do this:
1) Erase part of the line to give off a tapering effect.
2) If you're using a tablet, you can install something called jtablet that allows you to use pen pressure even in the oekaki, so that you can taper lines by just reducing the pressure.

Thanks, is there a website that I can install this jtablet from? Or shall I Google it?
