relationship btween the size and the opacity of the brush

Hi Andre...

If you could post an image to demonstarte the extent of the effect you're talking about that would be helpful.

However... i'm getting the feeling that you're talking about anti-aliasing, in a round-about way. Photoshop anti-aliases (smooths) edges on some brushes, unless you set the option to "Hardness=100". And when you draw using smaller brushes, the actual amount of "full" paint becomes harder to see, and appears to be enveloped by the smoothed edges around the brush.

Try simply duplicating the layer you painted on and set the duplicate's blend mode to Multiply. This works specifically for layers with no bg colour on them, or at the least, have a white bg colour. Any other colour will not be suitable for use with this method.

Also... depending on how thin your lines are, the FILTER>Other>Minimum filter can be used to thicken lines. Use a very small setting though, like 1-2 pixels.
