Modifying the Pencil Settings
You can modify the Pencil tool settings such as the size, smoothing, and ends,
- In the Tools toolbar, select the Pencil tool or press Alt + /.
- In the Tool Properties view, the preview area displays the stroke that will be produced after you customize the different parameters in the Tool Properties view. Click the arrow button.
The Pencil Properties window opens.
This is where you set the minimum and maximum sizes of your drawing tool which will produce the thick and thin effect on your stroke. This works with the pressure sensitivity of a pen tablet.
