You could check to see that any brush dynamics settings isn't the cause?

Is it for a straight line or for a curve?

In case you are using the pixel brush with pencil tool and dynamics off,
spacing set to 300 should work!

Hi Deblk, Is this is what you referring?

I used the Pencil with the "2. Block 01". The sample above as you see is with a pencil size=40 px with a Spacing=102. Depending on the size (brush size) of the line you want to draw, you have to set the spacing, and that might be a trial and error until you get what you want.

I am using pencil size 1 pixel to create a pixel art type image that needs a 1 pixel space in-between pixels if you get my meaning lol
