Tapered Line

[theresaf316189]

How do I create a tapered line with round ends on both sides?

I tried creating it with an art brush brush, but one end creates a point. This is not what I want to do.

Try applying a width profile.

Of course when he line is thinner on one end, the radius of the round cap might get so small that it doesn't look round anymore.

Thanks Monika!

In the Stroke panel, choose Round Cap.

Use the Width tool to drag out one end to make it thicker or thinner.
