Dynamic Stroke Weight for Pencil Tool
I want to suggest a feature for the Pencil Tool: the ability to automatically apply a Variable Width Profile based on my real-time input.
Currently, the Pencil Tool only draws lines with a uniform stroke (or with a VSW profile from the selection)
I propose adding a new option in the Pencil Tool preferences to link stroke weight dynamically to: Pressure Sensitivity (Tablet Users) and Drawing Speed Sensitivity (Mouse/Trackpad Users)
This single addition would transform the Pencil Tool into a powerful, intuitive instrument for design.

Astute DynamicSketch is like magic, I know.
If someone uses Illustrator for serious work, they really should use Astute Tools. The whole bundle is miraculous.But as a rare case for Astute, DynamicSketch has issues on my system (Windows 11). I think it’s related to the API.

Meanwhile, there’s a third-party plugin that does exactly this — DynamicSketch by Astute Graphics, https://docs.astutegraphics.com/dynamicsketch/dynamic-sketch-overview
