They are pressure sensitive and really the best way to use these programs! I think the Bamboo is an inexpensive way to get started using a tablet. I highly recommend one if you are attempting digital art. Sent, the best results come with using a Wacom tablet. They are pressure sensitive and really the best way to use these programs!

I just started my web comics and I normally use Photoshop. I am frustrated because how my pencils are turned into crap after I ink them using Photoshop. Illustrator really works wonders but only to an extent (that is if you're not painting or working with textured lifelike models). Again, thank you so much! Thank you so much for this tutorial!!

As in change the width, length and color, change the pressure. I found some options for the pen tool, but I'm not sure how to change exactly how the pen tool inks things - I want to simulate pressure points as if it was a pen doing it, and I want to change the widths of the pen tool I notice the options for the paintbrush tool (double click to get those tool's options on fidelity and smoothness, but I don't know how to access those options for the pen tool Well, there is the pen tool, but how do I customize the inking that comes from it?

I had no desire to ever use either the pencil or the brush tool before, but now that I have seen what they can do, I'm going to be using them more. This will save me a ton of time otherwise spent using the pen tool! This is really awesome.
