kawaii_otaku, lots and lots of practice/effort. id say the pen tool in shi-painter. lots of zoom. im not sure about connie, but i use pressure sensitivity on my tablet (top bar full, bottom bar almost full. not sure what they do, really, but that works for me) on a small size and a high opacity. and you dont need to have a tablet to do smooth lines, hakkai is a rabid mouse user and shes always got smooth as fork lines.
In my case, actually, I use the airbrush tool. I definitely used to be one of the many slaves of the pen tool, but I watched one too many of furyofroy's animations, and started to use the airbrush tool instead. I set in on a high opacity and use a slightly larger brush than I actually want the lines to be, and once I've got nice solid thick lines, I go back in with the smooth eraser and thin down all the lines. I don't even bother with the pressure sensitivity on my tablet, usually.
