how would you achieve this line quality on Inkscape?

back in my illustrator days, I had vector brushes I'd collected over the years, which I could pick from to create different stroke styles that suited the project, very quickly.

now, when I only use Inkscape, I don't feel it's as 'easy' as it was before, just wacking a brush preset, or even making my own, on a path to get this look.

I wonder what you have done and what's your techniques to achieving brush effects on Inkscape.
