You would need to interpolate the points. So, instead of just drawing a box at the mouse point, you need to work out all the necessary points between the last position and the new one.

If it's just dots you simply draw a line from last mouse coordinates to new mouse coordinates.

Using a box of size 5 by 5, you have to do as BatVink says and draw boxes between last mouse position and current position;

I'm not doing all the code for you!

The program is so small that it should take you about 10 seconds to change brush size. Experiment with the box commands. If you can't manage that then you have no chance writing a fully fledged paint proggy.
