I've been playing around in Photoshop with brush settings and the pen tool. I'm aiming for an inking pen look. I think I'm getting close.
I've been trying to taper with the brush settings but I can't seem to get it. Fading gives the tapered look but unfortunately fades out. Still, I wont give up until I get something close.
I'm going to check that out. That's exactly how I'm doing this. Pen path, followed by brush stroke. It's not as painful as you might think since I've gotten used to it.that's because you also have opacity control on under Transfer. how are you drawing this anyway? are you making paths and applying strokes to them? this looks like a very painful process, you are definitely using the wrong tools for the job. you should use illustrator or another vector based drawing application.

Without me looking into brush setup this was done in far less than 10 minutes. You're right though, it definitely looks painful.i guess it is relative. i can complete what you have so far in less than 10 minutes plus it would be completely editable. so it does look painful
