So, instead of starting or ending thicker or thinner, it would keep the same thickness all the way.
I know I can set the pen to do that in the Wacom prefs, but then that would affect all the brushes.
It would be nicer to have just some custom brushes like that.

Thanks

There is two easy options for it, the easiest method is to set the "use pen pressure" action as either a button on your toolbar or a shortcut, (or both), like this you can toggle the pressure on/off with a single click/shortcut, allowing you to paint with the same size/opacity etc.

The above method nullify any sensor function though, if you strictly want size only to be affected, then you can go to the brush editor and simply un-check the box for size on any brush you wish to use this way (the box is in the left menu, first from top to bottom of all the boxed actions), there you can either keep it till you change brush, keep it till you close the program or save as a new brush preset with the desired sensors. Note you can even overwrite the existing brush, but I must warn you that this will change you default presets permanently.

If you need more specific steps/information to do the above methods just let us know. :)
