Tapered basic brush
The current basic brush does not allow the user to use it. if you want a basic line with flat ends you would need ot create it as a new brush or use other tools. But a basic line for the brush tool with tapered edges. Or at atleast the same exact basic brush. just with the option to change the porametors.

Illustrator has variable strokes, and these can be tapered, wavy, anything you want. Once saved as a preset or a graphics style, combined with the New Art Has Basic Appearance option disabled from the Appearance panel combined, it can be quickly utilized exactly the same if not more customizable way...
Have you tried these? If yes — what and why would you like to get improved and how? -
Do you refer to an ability to detect pressure while drawing with a pen and apply it as width profile?
Something like DynamicSketch and InkFlow tools from Astute Graphics can do? -

I've been using Adobe products over 30 years and saw tool stay the same over time. The way I see Illustrator it should mimic how an Illustrator uses a pencil and pen.
The title itself demands changes to give us a more natural feel using the tools. The Pen and Pencil tool we can use as a major tool used.
Like using the Pencil Tool there could be variations as we are drawing with Pen pressure that varies kinda like tapers and thick lines based on how we apply a calligraphy path, It opens and closes.
There are so many uses of a pencil once understand how when drawing kinda like a felt Pen loaded with in as you start your flow the thin and thickness is at your fingertips or how u style the line.
So to be called and Illustrator software but the main part of doing illustrations a person uses the Pencil and Pen correct so why not highlight these tools and give of options to work with. Thanks.

The basic taper brush is the easiest tool for drawing digitally and it has made many people that weren’t even interested in digital art to give it a try and in many cases (like me) get hooked to it. Its smooth lines and shapes makes it so we can put our full potential into free hand drawing which in my opinion is super important, i personally have referred many people into this app and i could see a huge difference between their art in paper and in adobe draw thanks to the basic taper, one of them actually got to discover that his passion is digital art after getting hooked into it
Thank you for your time i hope this feature will be available soon as me and many other people really want to go past the limits of adobe draw
