Adjust the roundness, slant, stamp spacing, and brush edges of a Do-It-Yourself brush.
The Brush Properties window appears.
These sliders determine how flat or thin the brush stroke is, and how its thickness varies with the direction you are drawing in.
The Slant slider is ignored when Roundness is 1, because the brush stamp is circular and looks the same for all nib angles:
For a thin brush for horizontal strokes, use slants of 0, 180, or 360 degrees:
For a thin brush for vertical strokes, use slants of 90 or 270 degrees:

The Brush Properties window appears.
Use the Stamp Spacing slider in the Brush Properties window to control the spacing between these stamps.
A small spacing value puts stamps close together, sometimes producing a dark and smooth brush stroke that is less responsive (slower):
As you increase the spacing value, the stamps spread out, producing a brush stroke that is lighter and not as smooth:
A high spacing value produces a responsive brush stroke that appears as a series of dots.

Normally, the brush type you have selected determines this setting. To achieve certain effects, change it.
Soft edges gives soft, feathered brush edges. For example, an airbrush.
Solid edges gives hard edges that still bleed slightly. For example, markers or ballpoint pens.
Hard edges are hard. For example, a calligraphy pen on high-quality paper stock, or lines from computer drafting software.
