Hi! Love your work! You usually give awesome art advice so I wanted to ask- I saw you use a Cintiq. I'm on a Bamboo that I've had for quite a a few years now. The hurdle I can't seem to overcome no matter what I do (practice, pen settings, etc.) is brush stability. My lines always come out like I'm working on a boat in the middle of a hurricane. I was wondering if you had any advice for that or if you felt the Cintiq gives more stability. Any advice is welcome! Have a great day!

I’ve never used a bamboo before but wacom drivers in general are made out of cotton candy and paperclips and jittery/skipping lines seem to be a problem with all of their products. If it’s really bad you might just need to uninstall your drivers and reinstall them again (wacom’s site will have updated drivers for you to download) 

I can only compare to my old intuos but I do like the cintiq a lot better. Having more space to draw in helps with making nicer lines. (the bigger a motion you can make with your arm the smoother your lines will be) and the pen sensitivity feels a little nicer too.

Some other things you might try though are drawing on a larger canvas/at a higher resolution. The more pixels there are in your image the less noticeable it is when a line jitters a few pixels out of place. The way you position your tablet can make a difference too. I draw with my tablet propped up on a little pillow bc it’s easier for me to draw at an angle. I hope this was a little bit helpful!
