I get jealous of people that can use Illustrator to ink some really faboo drawings, but I'm having such a hard time learning it. It's like Photoshop has these great stroke path/pressure options that I can't find in Illustrator (CS), and they make the lines vary in width and everything. On the other hand, Illustrator has such smooth, crisp lines while Photoshop relies on poop-smeary paint brush lines.
I've searched Google and DeviantArt, and even the MFGG for tutorials, but while I've managed to handle Photoshop's pen tool okay, I really hate their poop-smeary paint brush lines, but I just can't get those nice edges and line strokes in Illustrator and the Bakaneko tutorial talks about all these brushes that aren't present in Illustrator CS.
My gods, These things make me feel like I don't know crap about computers. I need to get the social nerve to pester RageMario since he's my idol Illustrator artist.
I love a good ice chunk-filled Caramel Frappuchino!
Here's the sketch I've been trying to practice on. Done in OpenCanvas 4.

If it's the tapered round/sharp brushes that you're looking for, they just might be in the "artistic_ink" brush library.
Illustrator CS2 has the tapered brushes there (as it doesn't even HAVE the "artistic sample" library that's mentioned in the tutorial). I can only suspect Illustrator CS is the same way.
I hope that helps!
P.S. I just got done playing around with some suggested tapered brushes. They're pretty snazzy! =)
