Maybe you should look into getting a collaborative digital liner and colorist? Just a thought, no clue how or who you could do it with x.x

You might be onto something. I just got back from an art jam where physical people gave me some solid advice on this kind of thing. Hiring someone to do the work for me might not be where I want to go but speaking with people on how they do what they do, that's got a lot of merit.

The most logical thing I can think of is head to your settings section in the tablet toolbar and lower the sensitivity of the pen or tablet itself to compinsate for the muscle twitches your arm has. That kind of worked for me. Barring that, if you have a smart phone that can use a stylus on it's touch screen, download a free drawing app and use it as a normal pen/ pencil after learning the controls ( also what I do with my phone and my girlfriend's tablet devices that are non waicom based.) And as a side note, I can totally relate to nerve damage in your arms being a bitch to deal with. I have similar if not the same issues with muscle spasms and fatigue if my hands and forearms get over worked when I use hand tools to make textile projects or draw concept sketches.

Repetitive strain injuries are a bitch and a half, I feel ya. I also do chainmaille, wirewrapping, a little sewing, I feel your pain on that.

The tablet in question is an old Wacom Bamboo... it uh... I don't know where I would find a settings section for it if it has one owo

Sometimes I have the trembles/weak hands real bad too. I actually have to divvy up my art load such that when the shakes are bad, I work on looser stuff, like composite sketches and lighting. But, in a pinch, I use the line tools on Sai and that helps a lot, because the lines you draw then have anchor points, and you can delete the excess points that shaking causes, and fix the line's width, pressure, ect bit by bit. It makes incredible clean and crisp lines for you.

I know photoshop also has line tools, but they are more confusing and convoluted in my opinion. I am a huge fan of Paint tool Sai, it really saved me with lineart. I was never able to do any good on photoshop, I could never make the lines look sharp. Also Sai is a tiny program, so I can run it on the miniscule ancient windows vista running POS notebook lappy I have to use to make art right now. Also, if you are the type who pays for your programs, it is only 60$, as opposed to whatever photoshop is these days. I highly suggest finding yourself a copy. it's also quite an easy hack. /coughpiratecough/

I was told in the past also that flash has a feature that corrects tremble, as it is vector based and all, it would turn your stroke into the closest smooth line. I never experimented with that, as it's not so much an art program as an animator. but that would work great for lineart too.

I wish I had some diazepam, like in metal gear solid, the drug you take to fire a sniper with a super still hand. that would solve all our problems. XD I am unsure of whether that actually exists.

Anyway, good luck.

OMG, hi!

Sai seems to be quite popular, esp. for beginners. I already have a copy but my results with it have been less than stellar and like... it seemed to dislike big files so importing a scanned drawing and reworking it in SAI didn't seem like an option for some reason.

I have seen someone using a feature called "stabilize" and I keep wondering if that would help.

Diazepam = benzodiazepine = xanax, clonapin, and similar drugs that operate by suppressing the parts of the autonomic nervous system responsible for the fight/flight response, reducing muscle spasms and (their primary indication) alleviating anxiety =3

Thanks!
