AFAIK you can not get 2, 4, ...px  with a parametric brush.

1. Make a 2x2 px grayscale .gbr brush. Grayscale so it will pick up the
foreground colour. see screenshot:

2. As you said, use the pencil tool to avoid anti-aliasing.

3. Select the brush, set the size and colour.  see screenshot

4. There are snags if using shift-click to draw straight lines. The origin and
end of a line is center of pixel, which of course for an even number of pixels
is off-center of the brush. In that case make a path, stroke the path with
anti-aliasing turned off.
