A fine tipped stylus can draw heavy lines by manipulating the software settings. I'd rather use a drawing implement, finger or stylus, that is shaped more like a pencil than to use one that is shaped more like a hotdog wiener. That way, you can draw lines, heavy or light, while being able to see exactly what you are doing while the weiner sized device will obscure your vision for all except lines that are nearly as bold as the wiener is wide.

I fully comprehend that. But why choose a larger, blunt instrument for drawing that obscures portions of the drawing as it is being worked upon? Why is that being perceived as superior to being able to clearly see where you are working?
