I think I'll elaborate here. If the existing Pencil tool does not meet your expectations, perhaps it would be wise to start from ground up. Define/list characteristics of a pencil as opposed to a brush, from artistic point of view. The next step is a functional spec. When we have that, it's possible to have a plan based on: - which features (painting options) the tool is currently missing; - which features exist and are never used; - which features work differently than expected. If there is no _design_, no _systematic approach_, then we probably can't improve anything.
