Aye mate.

It's the "Path Tool". You need Photoshop 6, 7, or higher. I got CS2.

(Of course, there is others).

 

 

Try this for lines:

 

1)

Pick the Path Tool

 

 

2)

Here's the catch: You gotta enable the path line marked in red (the one on the left is for shapes, filled areas).

 

This small option should be on top of the working area, while having Path Tool active.

 

 

3)

Target some path points.

 

 

4)

Shape the points with additional Path Tool.

 

And transform the points while click-hold with mousebutton.

 

For the last step, make a new layer if you haven't yet.

 

 

5)

Eventually, filling the path line (Right click). You best choose the Brush for doing this. Giving it an painted art-style. With another Right click, you can delete the path cause your line is ready.

The style of your Brush will be rendered on your prepared lines. For thickness, have a look at your Brush settings (Shortcut "b". I had a thickness of 4-5 pixels for this example)

 

 

Well, play with that. Since you have your lines on separated layers, you can apply styles and filters on them. It's great for hair, waves or swirly FX.
