this is called procrastination projects cause i dont always have time to spend on free artwork and such, also sometimes it depends on my mood and such. I might complete it in one day or i might take a month or might not even finish it.
 
lol not what I meant, I have mouse not a graphics tablet. I have to simulate the pressure, value and feather of the brush to make it more realistic. Air brush is more for shading, what im looking for is line detail.
OOhhhhhh. Thats not possible with a mouse (mouse doesn't have pressure sensors). BUT you can do it manually with the opacity and/or adjuster.
 
If you make a path and then stoke the path with a brush theres an option to simulate the pressure of the stoke to give that gradual look.
 
That's also another way to do it.

In case you were wondering, the Pentool uses an algorithm to calculate the "pressure" based on the size of the brush and length of the stroke.
For a mouse, Photoshop cannot detect how hard the button was pressed. Because the mouse has no pressure sensor input, when you click it you're pressing a switch that only has two states (Clicked/Not Clicked). No pressure info is sent to photoshop.

HOWEVER
Illustrator DOES support pen pressure to a limited extent. Each line you make in illustrator is saved as its own path with user defined segments. Then, using the "Width" tool, you can adjust the width of each segment to give the effect of pen pressure.

EDIT: Turns out that the latest version of Illustrator does, in fact, support simulated pressure via mouse.

Something you may want to look into :P

Hope it clears it up a bit :thumbup1:

You can edit the brush's properties, I am simulating the pressure cause I don't have a Graphics Tablet. I know all that you have discussed so far, I'm just looking for a custom brush that closely simulates the pressure and stroke.
