How to end brush stroke with a taper

I’m actually running into the same issue here - wanting my brush strokes to end with a taper based on pressure - but I followed this video tutorial (above) and nothing helped. Does anyone have tips or am I out of luck? Super confused as to why nothing I try works. The skip in the line was me lightening my physical pen pressure.

Hi @stryxstruma

I just saw that you added your question at the end of a topic that really didn’t apply to your situation so I’ve moved your question into its own topic and gave it a descriptive title. Hopefully this will get you the help you are seeking.

If you click the preset icon box above the grid that looks like a n, that should make it taper in the beginnig and end of the brush stroke.

This one? I gotta pay more attention to those. :+1: :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve tried that ‘n’ curve and it’s not much help for me.

The only way I’ve found is like this:


Change the Length value to vary the taper-in distance.

It takes a bit of experimentation and practice with hand pressure and you mustn’t try too hard to do manual control, just do a stroke with a quick but not rushed end-lift.
Even so, it’s not very good.

yes, sometimes the u icon works instead as the taper.

this was actually the only thing that helped, thanks! I’ve determined that since the tablet pen im using is not 100% compatible, I’m not able to get any input from pressure sensitivity at all. this seems to be the only workaround to that that ive found.
