Are you simply saying that you can manage to produce a usable result but it’s not as easy as you had hoped?

Gartist40 Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 Right so when I try to draw letters out with a brush that simulates a brush pen I dont get the thinks and thins like it doesnt see my tablet or something not sure how to do this. I came from illustrator and photoshop so this is all different to me. Just wondering if there is a tutorial that shows how to use pressure when using a tablet to make hand lettering script.

I suggest experimenting to see which works best, but for that kind of lettering flex nib sounds appropriate.
