If you want tapered or more organic brushes, do that in illustrator; then drag it into indesign. it will create a vector point to point object. You can draw with the indesign pen or pencil tool but Lines created initially in indesign are rules, dots & dashes, you will see in the pull down menu.

The OCR does a phenomenal job in handling stray marks, creases in the paper, etc. They will be turned in graphics, while the text would be handled as separate blocks. Normally, the document can be edited as-is -- deleting the extraneous graphic blocks; But I've found that if the OCRed document is too cluttered, you will have to resort to copy and pasting the text. There were several scans I had made that had graphics UNDER the text. The last time this had happened was with a picture of a crease on the page. I had to resort to copy and pasting because the graphic refused to be removed without removing most of the text along with it.
