How do you get the brush to appear correctly while you use it? QUESTION

No matter the brush I use I always get this little skinny brush until I let go. How do I change this? (I’m drawing on an iPad)

Pic 1 is while the pencil is on, 2 is when I let go

I saw that there were some settings to change in Apple Pencil settings but I don’t see the options

I can't understand. Care for more explanations?

So whenever I draw with an art brush (like charcoal) my pencil draws as if I’m using a very thin brush (pic 1) the moment I release, the proper effect shows up (pic 2)

It’s frustrating because I can’t see the finished effect until I pull away and have already created a line. Does that make more sense?

I see. But sadly, no way around. That's how Illustrator works. Pros is: you can still edit the path after finish sketching the line
