Creating and editing brushes


    Illustrator lets you create new brushes and modify existing brushes. All brushes must be made up of simple vector objects. Brushes cannot contain gradients, blends, other brush strokes, mesh objects, bitmap images, graphs, placed files, or masks.

    Tip iconArt brushes and pattern brushes cannot include type. However, to achieve a brush-stroke effect with type, create an outline of the type and then create a brush with the outline. (See Modifying letterforms as graphic objects.)
