Brush tool: smoothing?

[Pippatchu]

I've been wondering: what is your smoothing level?
i usually have it around 30 but i can't figure out what's the best one.
Also: With stick and practice stuff: how do you guys make the heads so perfectly round?
When i draw a circle, it keeps having a gap, because of the circle drawing movement im used to.

I've got my smoothing around 40-50. When I draw, I zoom in 2x, making the lines look better.
When drawing circles (and anything else, actually), I think you've got to keep drawing it till it looks right.
Man, I usually draw the same line like 3-10 times before I get it right.

I usually have it at about 60, which seems high, but works good for me.

I actually have mine set between 0-25. I zoom in to 200% though so the lines don't look rough. I find the smoothing tool likes to "smooth" out my lines by totally changing them sometimes. So i basically get rid of it all together :3

I have it at about 50 because I usually can't hold my hand very still...

I have good days though

Yeah this is the same for me.

Cool.

Mine is at 25. I use a tablet though; don't know if you do. That obviously makes a big difference. Still, I also find myself redrawing lines again and again.

Very true. I just got a wacom cintiq and even then it's not as paper and pencil identical as you would think. Not in flash, anyway.

I'm also using a tablet (Wacom Bamboo), but the smoothing's still helping me out a lot. :P

If you have plenty of nubs (the plastic tips you replace, or should be replacing)
try laying down a piece of paper on your tablet, It helps a lot with smooth lines and also feels just like drawling on paper, But as i said before you will go trough nubs...fast.

one nub will last me a year normally on just the tablet, but with paper down ill go trough a nub in a month, often sooner

30% smooth. 500% zoom.
