This is probably a “noob” question but I can’t help it.

How do I get that pencil type where when you draw a line, the line isn’t constant? As in sometimes it’s widening, and thinning (if that is a word).

Examples of this is like the Neurotically Yours flash movie series. The lines on anything isn’t constant. When I click on the pencil took, I can only choose “Sharp”, “Smooth” and “Ink”.

Help please

Thanks
