A Guide to Illustrator’s Paintbrush Tool and Brush Panel
Filed under Illustrator
Illustrator’s Paintbrush Tool (B) and Brush Panel are some of it’s most powerful tools. With the Paintbrush Tool (B) and Brush Panel you can dress up your vector paths into compelling flourishes, patterns, tapered edges, and more.
Basically, the Paintbrush Tool (B) functions like the Pencil Tool, allowing you to click and drag to create a path. The difference is the Paintbrush Tool (B) applies predefined vector art to the paths you create. This might seem like a simple distinction, but using brushes will greatly improve you Illustrator productivity and helps you create artwork you never thought possible.
