Using Adobe Illustrator 10 the brush panel, there are many ways you can create the art of brush. Of course, the simplest is to load from the application CD in the art of brush library. From there, you can find plenty of useful brushes. If the brush is what you need, of course, is better and better. However, the ready-made brushes, after all, is limited, more often, you may need to customize some brush. This tutorial will show you how to use Adobe Photoshop 6 is the pen and path tools to create can be used in the Illustrator art brush. (Figure 01)
(This use of the software Illustrator 10.0 and Photoshop 6.0)
1. Create a new file
Start Photoshop, open the New Image dialog box, create a 80 x 275 pixels, 72ppi resolution, transparent background of the new image. (Figure 02)

2. Set the pen tool options
Select the brush tool, brush options, the brush mode from "Normal" to "dissolve" (This will give us Rough edge effects), opacity set to 100%, abolish the "wet side." If you have a pressure sensitive pen, click on the "size" (Pressure sensitive pen pressure sensitivity in the next step and give you more flexibility). In the Brush panel, select a medium-sized soften written. (Figure 03)

In the "Preferences" in the "Display and cursor" column, you can set your favorite graphics cursor displayed. In this example, we chose the drawing cursor shows the size of brushes, so that we can intuitively see that written which we choose the size is appropriate.
3. Draw a line
Keyboard on "D" key, foreground and background colors of black and white panels back to the default state. Next, hold down the "Shift" key and drag the mouse from top to bottom, draw a straight line. Remember, if you use the pressure sensitive pen, you may want to change the pressure has been uneven thickness of the lines. Now, the line showing the way we want, but we have to make some small changes to make it look like the illustrations in the article painted with the same carbon. (Figure 04)

It is best to create a straight brush, such as it applied to curve the path when, and with a good curve.
4. To change the line shape
When you continue to draw the line to try different sizes and types of written to accurately control the shape of the brush. We can use the Eraser tool to wipe off any excess color and contour. No need to care too much about each pixel in order to perfect. (Figure 05)

5. Create a constituency
Once you create the shape of the lines are very satisfied (believe me, once you become a picture into a master of illustration, you will never bored!), Stop drawing, begin the next step. In the Layers panel, hold down the Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS), click on the current active layer, load the image you draw constituency. (Figure 06)

6. Establish a working path
Go to the path panel, where we will convert the path constituency. In the path panel, click the "establishment of a working path from the constituency" button, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS), the screen appears "to establish the working path" option, enter in the tolerance of 1.0 pixels, so that the path close as possible constituency. Click OK to determine the path. Path Component Selection tool with the path selection, copy (Ctrl / Command + C). (Figure 07)

If you do not save the path, then it will the next time you create a new path to be overwritten. Double-click the work path, save it for next use. Content of the margin between the range of 0.5 to 10 pixels, can be used to determine the "establishment of a working path" command on the constituency the sensitivity of small changes in shape. When it is 0.5, the path will be close to the maximum extent constituency; when it was 10, the anchor will be greatly reduced, the path becomes quite smooth.
7. The path to paste Illustrator
Start Illustrator, paste the path to the clipboard into a new document (Command / Ctrl + V). Now the path has not been filled and strokes, fill the object is black, this is the art of brush you need. Now, if you like, you can move some of the anchor or smoothing tool to remove some nodes to modify the brush shape. Let's continue to modify the brush.
Unless you know precisely what your pen will be the color, or all black. Brush options in the line, based color methods as "tone", so use this brush to draw the color line will determine the line color of your choice. (Figure 08)

8. Create a new brush

In the next dialog box, select "New pattern brush" pattern brush options dialog box appears, the "coloring" method to set the tone. Now you are ready to use your new brush up! This article began with the brush image is easily drawn. Perhaps you would like to make some changes on the brush, you can return to Photoshop, or continue to edit in Illustrator. (Figure 09)
