When you draw in illustrator and you want to apply a filter you have to use the option to raster it then some filters do become available. The gradients and quality of the lines are better in Illustrator because it is vector based. It takes awhile to learn the program but once you do it's loads of fun!

I don't know, I just learnt how to use Illustrator. There's no use of filters when I colour lineart.

It just takes practice. It sort of like when you want to take a slow shot with a camera you click on the exhale. Same thing here. I found dragging my pinky to be helpful in not making it jerky. Think of it as a great time to practice meditation. LOL! I use it more for cutting things from their backgrounds though than I do for drawing. Can I ask why are you drawing in Photoshop and not Illustrator? Is it the use of the filters?

Thank you so much for your insight. I draw/paint mostly figures, portraits etc, so I don't see the advantage of vector & there are no crisp sharp lines (its all pretty soft & flowy). Maybe I should give in & learn for my graphic work though. It just frustrates me (I'm too jerky), so as long as there's no clear advantage for my work - I'll keep stalling ;-). But I'm listening & learning! Thank you!

When you are zoomed in on an object the pen tool allows for a cleaner line than the selection or mask tools. The pen tool is vector where as the selection and mask tools are raster. If you stick to the pen tool with practice you will get a much better look for the end product because the lines will be smoother and cleaner. Does that help? It's just like the difference between using curves to adjust the contrast of the photo instead of using levels. ;-) And yes there is a difference.

This is a great vid but I just can't seem to use the pen tool. I have no idea how it works and I wish I knew how.
