preface

This tutorial will show you how to use Lazy Nezumi Pro’s various smoothing options to get a better look. Whether you’re making a quick sketch or working on meticulous line art, you’ll be able to find Settings that refine your style and help you work more efficiently.

When experimenting with Settings, you can create a new empty preset by going to the Preset -> New menu. Then click the arrow button next to the preset list to expand the UI and see all the different sections.

Lazy Nezumi Pro can be used with a mouse or graphics tablet, but a tablet is recommended for best results. The tablet pen is pressure sensitive and can control the thickness and opacity of the line. You can’t do that with a mouse. Mouse accuracy is also much lower, so you may need to increase the amount of smoothing to get good results.

If you don’t want to access all the Settings, you can use the smooth preset that comes with Lazy Nezumi Pro. For most people, Subtle, Massive, and Pulled String presupposition are good starting points. If you want to know how to fine-tune the program for maximum benefit, read on!

Description of smoothing preset classification

These presets will help you reduce line shake.

  • Line drawing is popular with line art enthusiasts because it allows you to draw slowly.

  • Large scale is a great way to make expressive lines. This line has more delay, but when you slow down or stop, it catches up with your pen.

  • Some people just keep using the nifty presets because it’s smooth enough to make the lines look better without adding significant lag.

  • The pressure increase has some subtle smoothing, combined with the gain in the pressure curve section, making it easier to draw thick lines.

  • Fast boosting will change the thickness of your strokes, depending on how fast you are drawing.

  • Fast Smooth Smooth is applied when you draw slowly, but disabled when you draw fast (you can reverse this effect in the script section by changing the min/maxSmoothSpeed value).

  • Weighting uses a physics simulation of a weighted brush with momentum and drag. The pressure is calculated automatically based on the current speed, producing beautiful tapered lines.

The corresponding Chinese interface is as follows (you can switch through the menu item Settings -> Language)

Ruler presets and other presets will be described later
