Smooth things out.

Camila uses the Pencil tool to draw flowing, organic shapes. She goes over the paths with the Smooth Tool to soften any rough edges or points before filling the shape with a solid color.

Tip: Double-click the Pencil Tool and enable “Option or Alt key toggles to Smooth Tool”. Then, as you draw with the Pencil tool, hold Alt (Windows) or Option (macOS) to switch to the Smooth Tool.

Give it a go.

“I draw inspiration from literally everything — books, movies, music, women in general, and my political views.”
