I have gotten hold of a cheap drawing tablet and having a lot of fun with it. I only have experience with gesture sketching with pencil on paper but wanted to try inking and colouring too.

Drawing long curves with an ink pen brush preset is something I am having some trouble with. It is difficult for me to draw smooth curves and when I join multiple stroked together I get varying width and clear nodes which looks bad.

Would using a path to draw such curves be cool? Or should I just practice more?
