Quote:Smooth Stroke is great. I have Dynamics Off, does it help to turn in ON ?
Certainly does, because you can apply pressure using a tablet. Typically Pressure-Opacity or Pressure-Size.
Smoothness, do not forget the mypaint brushes, really best with a tablet, very much for painting, The Gimp mypaint engine is a little old, grab the actual MyPaint application, great fun even if you are not much of an artist, like me. screenshot - dynamics on left mypaint on right. https://i.imgur.com/2rydPXM.jpg
Quote:..I thought about using them for icons but it appears much tricky than I expected...
Not really a subject for a grahics tablet.
For icons even Gimp is a bit OTT. From memory there used to be any number of (Windows) Icon editors. Plenty on-line offerings but programs are a bit thin.
Seems the favourite these days is Greenfish Icon Editor. Never really used this. Got the 'portable' version (strange, seems combined linux/win zip)
All you need to make an icon. https://i.imgur.com/TI7psYY.jpg
This one, Java Image editor http://www.jhlabs.com Tiny program 5 MB (if you ignore the 190 MB java runtimes you need
- although these will be shared with other java stuff) I have had this in my archive for years, pull it out occasionally to taunt the Gimp Devs that there is still no working Grid Deform Tool in Gimp. Apart from that, all you need to create an icon. https://i.imgur.com/0yRNi3M.jpg
