In trying to get organic looking lines I'm using the vector brush "Classic Pencil 2B".   Which looks amazing, but it has this corner issue that I can't resolve (image below).    I even tried breaking the corner which kinda works, but it's a very awkward solution.

In short, I'd like the stroke to go ALL the way around my vector path.

Thx in advance!

This is the margins in the brush texture. I marked it in green. Some other brushes, don't have this margins, or they are minimal.

Brushes without margins, also give artifact in one of the corners. I tried to avoid it this way:

Moving the red dashed lines won't do anything, they are meant to define the inner repeating part of the texture.

Earlier I marked the margins in green. If these margins are in the brush texture, you can't change them.

This is the start/end node causing the issue. I´d simply introduce a new node along an edge: then hit "Break Curve/Close Curve" instantly.

How does that help? When I try it, it just results in the gap being moved to the newly closed node. The closest I can come to getting the stroke to look like it goes all the way around is to leave the curve open & adjust the two start/end nodes so there is an overlap to fill in the gap, something like this:

"Classic Pencil 2B" will always show a tear in one of the corners. You can't avoid this, because the texture of this brush, has margins.

You will have to use a different brush.

Depends on the brush:

What brush are you using in your GIF? It does not look like the "Classic Pencil 2B" or any other brush that has the margins @telemax wrote about.
