Jaggies

What is a jaggy?
A "jaggy" is an unintentional break in a otherwise smooth line or curve. These make the line look strange and pointy, too many jaggies can ruin an artwork. Luckilly they are fairly easy to avoid if you are paying atention.

To make a smoothe line you should have the same number of pixels on every "step" of the line, for example: 1, 1, 1, 1, is a smoothe line whereas 1, 2, 1, 1, is not.

A smooth curve always follows a pattern. When you are moving towards the centre of the curve the number of pixels should be lower then or the same as the previous number of pixels. When moving away from the centre you should do the oposite, the number should be higher or the same as the one before it. For example: 6, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 4 is a smooth curve, whereas 6, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 4, 4 is not.
