How do I make a trail using the pen (WITHOUT THE STAMP BLOCK)

So uh, I really wanna make a pen trail using the pen (and I don't wanna use the stamp block)
the trail would change size at the end (kinda like a tail), it would follow the mouse-pointer, but the problem is
I can't find any helpful tutorials on YouTube ,so I'm taking the time to ask you guys on scratch.

No, you don't understand. I don't wanna use the sprites costume, I wanna use the pen.

There is a way to do this, but it can be complex. I don['t know how, but the simplest way is literally a pen down block. What you are asking is not to hard to understand, and @cookieclicker33 is correct, the way you are asking for this is strange, but i'd say the best way is just use a pen down block, or make a sprite for the trail and then code stuff there.

How do I make a trail using the pen (WITHOUT THE STAMP BLOCK)

pen down
set pen color to [#58e146]
forever
clear
move (10) steps
end

I think this will work

That won't make any sort of trail since you clear it every frame - it will only show a short 10 step line in each frame.
