Linearting in PTS?

~Doko-Latte Nov 6, 2012

Just wondering what do you guys do when linearting in PTS? I already know that people usually need a rough sketch to begin with. In the final lineart, what tools do you use? A tutorial I read by

said that she used the brush tool. I used to use the pen tool, but now, I use the curve tool. It makes easier clean-up <for me> and I guess, since I'm inexperienced with using a mouse, it's easier for me since my hands don't get all shaky. The results aren't perfect, but they're fairly good : [link]
Anyway, I'd love to hear your suggestions!

I use the curve tool as well but I also use the pressure tools to taper the end of my line :3 I find it looks nice.

I'm glad I ain't the only one who uses the curve tool XD

It really depends on what I'm looking for

Usually when I do transparent bg work and character art, I use the binary pen set to 3px for character art and 1px for pixels and icons.
When I do full color I usually use the pen tool set to 3 or 4px.
I can give you my brush settings if you want them ^^

Oddly enough, I usually use a thick lined sketch, erase excess lines from it (and draw over weak lines) then add any extra details. I dunno why but whenever I've tried to clean 'ink' over a sketch, it always comes out terrible. ;v;
I would say (though this is more for the brush tool than pen or curve) if a line comes out a little shaky, sometimes drawing over it can look better than redoing it again. Also, drawing big, sweeping lines, longer than you actually need, usually makes them look better, then you can just erase the bit you don't need.
