Hi markw!
I thank you very much for your reply. Yes, the Hard Tip brush I was referring to is located in Pencil. In fact only now I realized that the Brush Designer panel is only usable for custom brushes. Too bad, I was really curious to see how they had created the Hard Tip brush, one of the pencils I love drawing with the most because of its extreme softness that reminds me so much of the 2B pencil from Conté ŕ Paris.
