> [@MirMirSky](#): > > except it dosent fade like in csp 🙂 Hello @MirMirSky and welcome to the forum! Are you by chance speaking of the tapering of the end of your strokes? If so, this is mainly a question of setting up your stylus settings in Krita, and in your profile for Krita in your graphics tablet driver. That is, because in CSP the strokes tapering is post processed by CSP, in Krita you have to find a setup that enables you to make such strokes, but it is very possible, the only thing is that those who are accustomed to the help of their software post-processing the strokes have to learn to wield their stylus much more controlled after they found a good set up for their tablet. So, it is at first a thing of trial and error, but in the end you can handle your stylus more precise as it was needed with the support of software doing it for you. If that is what you are looking for, you may be interested in the following topics: > [@Get CSP-like tapered lines with Krita](https://krita-artists.org/t/get-csp-like-tapered-lines-with-krita/69259): > > I played around with settings and figured out how to get brush strokes that taper off to a point (instead of them terminating with a blunted end), similar to how brush strokes perform in Clip Studio Paint.

If I could only control my hand better the following strokes would be more neat than they are, but that is what I can get with my Huion Inspiroy New 1060P using the fairly simple brush b) Basic-5 Size Opacity: If you want to see the full resolution KRA-File with these strokes: If one is willing to invest round about €/$30 to… And if you want such software-support for your strokes in Krita, you may want to buy Lazy Nezumi Pro for ~ $30, a software that can help you with it and other things.
