I voted wrong, I meant line tool. Line tool is the best because you can bend it in perfect form…I’m gonna have a drawing contest now at the battles forums.

I have a tablet. :beam:

Just not at home where I do most of my drawing. 😛

But before I got hold of that, I always used the ine to draw with Flash. Other programs I used other tools, but for Flash… Yeah, it’s always been the Line for some reason. :sure:

In Illustrator I use the Pen. Photoshop… Well, I avoid drawing freehand in that anyway. 😛

Can someone, probably Kit because you draw very often and seem to know this stuff :), tell me why the pen tool in illustrator cannot act the same way as the pen tool in photoshop? I think if they could make the PS tool as easy to use as the ILL one I would barely have to ever open Illustrator. Does it have to do with the fact one is vector and the other isnt? I just can’t see it being that big of a problem…

Yeah… I can’t get on with the Pen in PS. Plus it’s not vector based like Illustrator, so when I screw up my proportions, I can’t resize without losing the quality. 🙂

Basically, at least as far as my kind of drawing is concerned, Illustrator is best for outlining, Photoshop is best for colouring.
