Hey ,
I dont know whether this is tablet based or program based but, im having some problems while drawing on my tablet.

Well, to explain it in plain; im assuming that tablet is way too slipery and senstive . When Im drawing with pencil. I can make clean cuts and extream details. Yet when i use my tablet, even my cleanest line has wrinkles and Im not very sure I like what i see.

Is there any plugin that adds Friction to the brush tool , so it will kinda ignore small wrinkles and stuff. Or is there any way i can over come this ?

Im using
PsCs3
Uc-logic pro tablet.

thanks.

There's a possibility of either. I'm not sure about UC-Logic in particular but your tablet software should come with a program to set up your tablet, calibrating the "hardness" of your pen. The other is that you are using a brush with high spacing, check the brush palette and lower your spacing if you are getting the effect I think you mean by wrinkles.

thank you for your time.I think i need to be more specific.
Im meaning something more like this :

I dont think im that sloppy when it comes to drawing lines.Yet , I was a paper boy till now, I think i need some friction of my good old paper. And since tablet's surface is soo smooth, i think my hand goes out of caliber.

You could simply put a sheet of paper over the tablet and draw with that surface in place. Some people like doing that but I find it annoying. Alternatively, it might help to firm up the pen tip pressure in the Wacom Tablet Properties menu. That way you will have to press a little harder to get the same stroke which might cut down on unwanted jitter.

there are also the felt nibs you can buy, they have a little more friction on them

Ah, yeah, if that's the case I have to second the others. Piece of paper taped on top of tablet and/or a different nib (the felts run about $5 here (http://direct.wacom.com/stores/5/Felt_nibs_5_pack__P1056C65.cfm) on Wacom's store).
