Need help with strokes and lines!!!

  1. Default Need help with strokes and lines!!!

    I am drawing a map that has a river. I have seen examples of old maps that show the "waves" going from thicker strokes near the shore to thinner "waves" going away from the shore. There is a way to have a ten lines going from a thin stroke gradually getting thicker.
