Smoothing objects

You can smooth curved objects to remove jagged edges and reduce the number of nodes. Alternatively, you can smooth shapes, such as rectangles or polygons, to give them an organic, hand-drawn look.

To control the smoothing effect, you can vary the size of the brush nib and the speed at which the effect is applied, and you can use the pressure of your digital pen.
