I have ran into one of the most aggravating problems. I am working in Illustrator CC on a Surface Pro, mostly using 'Touch' mode. For some reason, all of my brush strokes have rounded edges.
What I have tried.. 1. Use a different brush 2. Create a new brush
I then contacted Adobe Customer Care for help and they reccomended... 1. Reseting Illustrator preferences 2. And going to View>Preview on CPU
All of which did nothing.
How do I make the ends of my stroke pointed instead of round?
You must create an Art Brush with the shape and end type you want:
Shape and end types examples:
You appear to be using a calligraphy brush. Are you aware of that?
Instead choose the Artistic_Ink Brush called "Tapered Stroke". It's available in the Brush panel drop down menu, under Open Brush Library > Artistic
Also set the "Variable Width Profile 1"
