outline preview in a brushstroke where pressure changes.

Version:           2.4-snapshots (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

see the attached image. 

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
better outline preview to get accurated brushstrokes

Maybe a dot in the center would be useful too but it must to be resizable too because if we work in high res, the dot will not be visible.

If we use the actual preview we canĀ“t to be very accurate.for example drawing and eye.then our drawings loose quality. I hope this example will help, usually people are very used to see the brush outline

This is because the sketch brush uses the size-parameter for the total area in which the sketch brush has effect, and the line-width parameter for the actual size.

Either we make it so that the brush-preview is for the line-width parameter, or we add a second brush-indicator for linewidth.

Sorry, we won't be able to fix this -- it's just the way this brush engine works.
