How do you create a brush in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:40 pm

Illustrator provides a wide variety of brushes for creating textures, gradients, and other effects. To create a brush, first open the Brush palette and select the desired brush type from the list on the left. (For more information on brush types, see the Illustrator brush tutorials on the Illustrator website.) Next, select the desired size and shape from the list on the right.

PRO TIP: When creating a brush in Illustrator, be sure to set the stroke weight to 0. Otherwise, the brush will be too thick and may not work correctly.

(For more information on brush size and shape, see the Illustrator brush tutorials on the Illustrator website.) Finally, click the Add Brush button to create the brush.
