After a lot of R&D, sketched strokes now look much better! Also, you can now control how smooth you want the width of your strokes to be, and there's an Experimental panel for more control.

After a long break from Twitter, let's give it a second chance. It's probably going to be a mix of Computer Graphics / Programming things and personal life. Let's start with today's small hike at Pic Saint Loup, near where I live in Montpellier, France.
