Applying brushes to existing paths
You can apply a brush to any path created with an Illustrator drawing tool, including the Pen tool, Pencil tool, or any of the basic shape tools. You can then edit the brushed path as you would any path drawn with the tools.
To apply a brush to an existing path: Do one of the following: - Select the path, and then select a brush with which to brush the path.
- Drag a brush from a brush library or the Brushes palette onto the path.
To apply a brush to a closed path and want to control the placement of the end of the path, select the Scissors tool and split the path. To change again, select the endpoints, choose Object > Path > Join, and use the scissors again. (See Splitting paths with the Scissors tool.)
