Description I dunno if any of you have felt the same way about the default round brush.  
The one where you set Opacity and Flow to Pen Pressure.  

It's a great brush for glazing transparent colours, but I've always wanted it to have more opaqueness so that I won't have to worry about painting underneath.  I hated having to go over the same area again in order to make sure it wasn't half transparent.  

Here's a method of customizing the brush so that you can keep your opacity, but you can also get some good 'solid'-ness to the stroke as well.  It'll paint exactly the colour you choose if you have a light touch like I do.   

I do the explaining here:

Long Story Short:
Setting the dual-brush on Overlay mode makes it so that you don't have to press the pen at full intensity in order to get full opacity.  

Try it out.  
I put an example abr brush file of the customized brush up for download.  

Good painting, y'all.
