How to make smooth brush strokes in After Effects?

Question

CURRENTLY

I am drawing brush strokes in after effects that will be animated as arrows.

ISSUE

Every time I draw my brush strokes they come out jagged (not smooth).

Is there a way to make smooth brush strokes? or edit existing ones to make smooth? I know that Illustrator has "Fidelity" option, but I cannot find something similar in After Effects. I couldn't find anything online to solve this problem.

Draw them as paths instead, using bezier curves. Then add arrows to the paths using this: https://kylasaurusrex.gumroad.com/l/LNSVU
