Suddenly I knew it was italic!

Not much of a painting today, but a lot of learning sent from New Zealand.

I couldn't figure out what aspect and rotation, two of the options on the pen tool were meant to do.

The pen tool icon, you see, looks like a Pilot fine point.  Turns out it can also be the virtual equivalent of an Osmiroid pen! I will need more time fine tuning the settings and my stylus, but this looks like it will be great fun.
