How To Draw Lines In Photoshop - 3 Best Tools

[@Helena-uv9bv]

i HATE making lines in photoshop.. why can't they just have the same pen tool as illustrator. so easy to edit anchor points etc.

[@arnoldnazaire6154]

How can I make a circle Infront of the straight line?

[@-WhizzBang-]

Once I make a line with shape tool, how can you make it longer? There seems to be NO SIMPLE WAY to do this, and NO tutorials explain how!

[@therealkevinleee]

google exactly what you asked and it explain perfectly

[@iam_nick]

line tool drawing is a thin box, not an actual line though

[@MateuszKrol-cn6tg]

Nope. It doesn't work for me. The line tool is actually a very thin rectangle, so when I add dashes, they go from both sides and they overwrite. It looks like have a two dashed lines that never match. Somehow, it works perfectly in this video, so probably this is some photoshop update.

[@jjdavis7320]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but no matter how many px I set the width, even 0, it still is at least 50 px wide.

[@alpcan9073]

Hi Brenden. I have a question regarding the drawing a curved line with line tool. Your control box is slightly different from mine (Ps 2020). In my control settings the thickness of the line is adjusted by the "weight", just located next to the Align Edges thick box. And when I draw a straight line and select by Command-T and then warp tool, it makes a shape, not a curved line. Could you make it clear for me?

[@xxbrooklynkingshaunxx4470]

Same thing’s happening to me right now 🤦‍♂️

[@ayabenbrahim1620]

Thank you for this awesome video, the simplest things are the hardest to understand sometimes

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

True!

[@myrs4]

Pen tool question: I drew a path on a maze puzzle, but how do i set it onto the canvas (in this case, the puzzle)? When i saved the file as a picture, the drawn path doesn't appear in Preview or Chrome, only in Photoshop.

[@WFproductions80s]

My photoshop only creates arrows. Damn, how come can this app be so bad compared to the easiness of premiere pro? Adobe's gotta change this photoshop asap, it's a terrible app

[@artmakersworlds]

WTH? Second video I found and MY SETTINGS don't match. My line tool does not have the fill/stroke thing on top. GRRRRRRRR

[@Edubarca46]

Hello Brendan, Unfortunately, I try to change a straight line to a dotted line using you method but nothing happens. The line is still straight with no dashes, What am I doing wrong?

[@RoadTripYoga]

Weird. I get a double dotted line and they are slightly out of sync, not in alignment, slightly off..?

[@Jerry-vz4ix]

"the line tool is the easiest way to create dashed and dotted lines", it's also why everyone does it manually. for such a basic task, adobe made it impossible.

[@photomedia7373]

You must have a different version of Photoshop than I have. I don't have the settings you mentioned in your 2nd segment.

[@techiguy4188]

How can we connect lines corners especially like in L shape? Two lines to make L shape without showing corners?

[@FlashySenap]

Any way to bevel edges on a line to just smooth the lines angles out. Similar to how u bevel edges in Blender?

[@Elon-n9q]

The warp tool warps the thickness of my line. Anyone know why?

[@ThraxJay]

My line tool doesn’t show anchor points like this! I can’t select my line to edit help

[@sisyphusofephyra7801]

Photoshops vector tools are soo unwieldy conpared to Sai. Is not even funny

[@ConstructiveMinds100]

I do not know what is the goal of showing the line tool if for many people it simply doesn't work.

[@AstraRealEstate]

why does mine keep making an arrow!?!?!?!?1

[@andrewleyton6689]

how to I fill somoething with dots but without that cut dots a pattern could cause?

[@odiljondekhkonov3357]

I have tried to make a line but it's coming double. Why?

[@OrthodoxTrooper]

Brother you need to show us tour pointer so we can follow! \

[@gyaathandler]

Is it possible to make one end or both end's of a line sharp like in illustrator ?

[@jalenfrommiramar]

Been trying so hard to make a baseball font swoosh it’s killing me

[@panicosstavrinou6207]

I try to draw a line but appears arrow can you help me please

[@cycologymountainbikecoachi705]

The cursor is so small I can't see what you're clicking.

[@haritarao9522]

Odd, when I tried drawing a line with the line tool, it keeps drawing an arrow, not a straight line

[@sarahclassicsewing]

same for me...so confused

[@orsbot877]

Guys guys I swear it sounds like he says the N word at 0:14

[@AndyCat90]

Nice video, pretty useful. What I would like to know is whether it's possible to create non-pixelated lines in Photoshop. If so, how do I do it? I was told that you're going to need to have graphics card built-in your computer to make that happen. The thing is that I only have a laptop is the graphics card cannot be built-in. If it's not possible to create non-pixelated lines without graphics card, I'll be okay with that too. You see, I'm practicing digital drawing because up until now, I've been doing traditional artworks.

[@VictoryLaneBrokerageSeattle]

Very good teaching process with tremendous clarity focus. Great work.

[@RimaruTempest-qf2ze]

HOW DO YOU TURN THOSE LINES INTO TEXT ie as if its a travel path line that leads into text and exits as a plane image?

[@kelliceswaggerty7662]

Hi Brendan. I've never used these tools in Photoshop. But I thought they might be useful for trying out some new ideas I have. Thanks for a thoroughly explained and easily understandable tutorial on how to apply these techniques! Subscribing.

[@hamzaijazji3651]

I was stuck in making these dotted lines but you have explained them very well and finally, it works😀

[@hollypotts721]

Why does the line keep disappearing?

[@bybiskuvi]

thx still working

[@bodacious705]

Hi, perfect video for hat I need. But I chose 50px in the stroke thickness box and it just gives me the same thin line thickness no matter what value I put there. How do I fix this? Thanks

[@JHasselroth]

When you say hit the OK button on an imac, do you mean to hit enter key or the return key? My problem is deselecting the pen tool.

[@danhutchinson8649]

How do you keep the line "on" in the drawing? When I go to make another line, the first one disappears....

[@marcp.1752]

Besides not having the time atm to watch this whole video - why is that with CS6, that the line tool always creates two pointers into each direction, when i just want to add a vertical line into a particular image?

[@Peteristrate]

How do you edit the start and end points of a simple straight line, if you want to move them around?

[@TOTAL457]

Thanks. Great video. Keep it up. Greetings from Malta - Europe.

[@angeleineeresuelo5427]

can you please help me? i cant see the stoke color in my photoshop thats why i cant do tracing shapes :(

[@CheChloZo]

I like how you explain in your tutorials. Just liked and Subscribed!

[@b991228]

Using the brush tool to create lines can confuse some people if they have pen pressure set.

Does anyone know how I can make a diagonal line without it making a new layer every time I use the line tool?

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

If you create a diagonal line, you could save it as a custom shape preset to use later on.
