Adding brushes to Illustrator is a fairly simple process. To start, open the Brushes panel by clicking on the Brushes icon in the Illustrator toolbar.

Next, select the Brush tool from the toolbar.

To add a new brush, first create a new vector object by clicking on the New Vector Brush button in the Brushes panel. You can also create a new vector object by clicking on the Create New Vector From Selection button in the Brushes panel.

Once you have created your new vector object, you will need to select it. To do this, click on the brush icon in the Brushes panel and then select the brush from the list.

To edit the properties of a brush, click on the properties icon in the Brushes panel. This will open the Brush Properties dialog box.

In the Brush Properties dialog box, you will need to set the following properties:

Width: This is the width of the brush.

This is the width of the brush. Height: This is the height of the brush.

This is the height of the brush. Pressure: This is the pressure sensitivity of the brush.

PRO TIP: Adding brushes to Illustrator can be tricky and may not work the way you expect. Be sure to back up your file before trying to add brushes, and be prepared to Undo if necessary.

Once you have set the properties of the brush, you can draw with the brush by clicking on the paintbrush icon in the Brushes panel and then drawing with the brush.

To remove the brush from the document, click on the delete icon in the Brushes panel.

If you want to add multiple brushes to the same vector object, you can do this by selecting the object and then selecting the multiple brushes from the Brushes panel.
