[Gimp-user] Difficulty creating shadows

[pfaoro <forums gimpusers com>]

How can I reduce the size of the Pencil tool to as little as 1 or 2 pixels?  I
want to draw fairly fine shadows, and have figured out that creating shadows
requires smudging or blurring gradients of black-to-grey, but the default
options in the Brushes toolbox are far, far too large.

Thanks
