Brush Issue in Photoshop

[Penny_G]

Please assist!!

For the life of me, I can't seem to get the 'ends' of my brushes to taper off at a point, vs. this really weird nub. I've tried everything--searched every article, tried to adjust pressure settings but to no avail. Someone please help? It's affecting my work quality, and it happens with EVERY brush I try. 

Sometimes if I switch brushes (to a thinner one for example) it just tapers off in a longer awkward shape and does not make a smooth 'point' transition.

I currently own a Surface Book 3 and use the Surface pen for direct-to-tablet sketching. I also own a small Wacom Tablet (an older model) which this happens on as well. My Wacom drivers are up to date and I have installed and reinstalled with also no luck. My Surface Book 3 is only a month old. 

Does anyone please have a solution for this?

Change your tip (aka Nib). I was having similar issue and that helped on an old wacom Intuos 3.

Oh, wow! @MikeGondek That really seems to have done the trick--and I would have never tried changing out my tip to fix this issue! I appreciate your help greatly!!!!
