Similar to #1040, this would need a contribution from a developer who's a tablet user since I don't use one myself

I have a XP-Pen device, I can help with testing if needed. I'll need to deep dive into the input APIs tho, as I'm not very familiar with them.

Thanks! For a starting point, I think this would probably need to happen in PintaCanvas which already has the gesture handlers for clicks and motion, which are then passed along to the current tool. I suspect Gtk.GestureStylus is probably the right thing to use

I had recently searched for FOSS drawing apps and I'm really happy to see this project coming along nicely. Pen pressure for sure is a must in applications like these. I have very little experience in QA on Github but I would like to also mention that along with pressure sensitivity, some brush smoothing options would be nice as well as line drawing currently is very angular.
