Art Brush
- You need to create artwork that will be
used to define the art brush.
|
| |
|
 |
1. Create
artwork you want to use as an
art brush. You can even make an art brush out of type, so that's
what I'm doing here.
Write some type.
Select the type and go:
Type > Create Outlines
Now we've converted our type into
paths. Unconverted type will not work in an art brush.
|
| |
|
|
2. Window
> Show Brushes
|
| |
|
 |
3a.
Select your converted type> Drag
it into the Brushes Palette > New Art Brush > OK.
OR
3b.
Select all your artwork > Choose New
Brush from the Brush Palette Menu> New Art Brush > OK.
|
| |
|
|
|
4. Choose
brush options > OK.
Name: Enter a name for your
brush.
Direction: This will determine
how the artwork will appear in relation to the direction you draw
the path.
Size: Sets the thickness of
the brush. Proportional will change the thickness uniformly
Flip: You can have the object
flip along the axis of the path or across its axis.
|

|
|
|
5a. Select
your Paintbrush Tool (B).
Select your new Art Brush from your Brushes
Palette.
Paint with your paintbrush.
OR
5b. Create
a path with a shape tool or Pen Tool.
Apply your brush by selecting your Art Brush
from the Brushes Palette.
