Sketch-brush outline issue (or not)

[David REVOY]

Ok, I understand the radius now as a feature , and not as a bad bug 
feedback.
Thanks

Still, I find this big outline too distracting in the actual state to be 
the only user feedback for this tool. I can imagine this 'radius for 
substrokes' as a secondary feedback, and a marker for the center of 
stroke as a primary feedback .
Something like this speed'n'dirty mockup :

But I don't know how flexible is krita to can make an outline almost 20% 
alpha visible while preserving a brush center
Just an idea , maybe one to dificult to code or to manage with good 
performance.. Sorry if it's stupid ^.^

Note : This kind of 'double radius feedback' could also solve other 
brushes/presets with dynamic on radius size (as pressure, etc) ; showing 
-for example- a mini and maxi radius for a brush to give a visual 
feedaback range to the user..
