Some people use a tablet/stylus to draw on their computer monitor, but you can also do it with your finger if you don’t have one. If using a mouse or touchpad, make sure to disable your ‘mouse acceleration’ feature (in Windows 8, Windows 10 or Windows 11 open Control Panel > Mouse). This will reduce jittery lines, keeping your line weight consistent throughout a piece. Try setting ‘Double-click speed’ very low (1ms). This will ensure that no matter how fast you move your cursor, nothing happens until you click twice.
