I can't get a nice pen stroke on illustrator CC.
Everything I google just says "it just works" in CS5 and I've got everything cranked up to the most sensitive and still get almost no variation in strokes- angle, pressure, nothing seems to help. Works better in Photoshop CC but still not a real nice line. PaintToolSAI included for reference. I also have CLIP but I don't use it.
I really want a nice manga style stroke. I feel like I should get better results than this with a Cintiq24HD and CC. What do?

another example, this is a sloppy trace in Illustrator CC to try to play with lines. the upper is as drawn (10pt variable 10pt) the lower is copy adjusted stroke (2pt variable 2pt).
I want one stroke that goes through the actual variation from 2pt to 10pt.
The goal is to wind up with vector art.

I have a question about Illustrator. I was making knitting patterns in Photoshop and thought I could trace over them in Illustrator, but no matter how I adjust the object trace options some of the squares keep getting warped on their corners.
I know at this point I can just remake them in Illustrator with the shape tool but why is it so difficult to get the tracing and expanding right? I thought squares wouldn't be hard to screw up.

Illustrator's live trace is bad, use vector magic for autoatic vectorization.
Sine you didn't ask for it, here you have it vectorized

Thanks, I completely forgot that program existed. That'll save me a lot of time.
