At the size you specify, when you stroke vertically the line is 20px wide but if you stroke horizontally, the line is as thick as the brush is thick: one pixel. And since you are zoomed out 4x, this is scaled to 1/4th of a pixel, so that 's a gray which is only 1/4th of the darkness of black.
Unless you know better, us the round brushes (2. hardness 100 in particular.)
(*) and given that particular brush, when it does (with Track direction for instance) you get the thin edge...
I obviously don't know better. I just picked the first brush that came up, and changed the thickness a bit. I wasn't aware that the brush would act as a "real" brush. Not exactly what I am looking for.
I was intending to use GIMP in creating another children's book(I used the Firealpaca program for the first one). I think I might be better off using the pencil tool for my lines here, though. I started with the brush because I read that the pencil in GIMP was not as smooth looking like the brush.
Thanks for your help!
Update: Well, I tried with the pencil but that does the same thing. Isn't there just a tool here that will let you draw lines, without having to configure the tool whenever you make a new line in a different direction?
