Making edges curved smothly

[beco73]

Hi,

See in this image, both on the left and right side it is curved so cleanly and smoothly, how do they do that? i tried to do it with paint brush, my hand shakes and it does not turn out to be neat.

Use the pen tool instead of the brush - you'll have more control and a vector image as well.

Maybe you could use a massive circular brush size and simply click on big dot to give you the curve. You could chop off what you don't need after.

Using a big cicular brush was good idea, i never thought of that. What is vector image? Pen tool ia acting very wierd. All i do clickd and it keeps joing two points. It will not let me draw a smooth line.

using the pen tool may require some studying of bezier curves controls (can be tricky and takes much practice to become proficient) but great stuff!!

Learning to use the Pen Tool is going to be your best friend in Photoshop - and it works much the same way in Illustrator when you start using that program.
