Hi nomak,
- First, activate the Brush Tool and choose a dynamic - thinning and fading - brush (see flash movie on brush settings)
- Activate the Pen Tool, right-click on the path, and select "Stroke..."
- In the "Stroke" dialog, check "Simulate Pressure" gadget and make sure that the Brush Tool is selected
