Ask a Pro: Illustrator brushes, Friday at noon
I’m always a little amazed & sad that not more people know what can be done with Illustrator brushes. Check out this session Friday at noon Pacific:
Join Sharon Steuer and learn how to harness the power and flexibility of Illustrator’s drawing and painting tools. With Illustrator brushes you can work transparently, or build-up color and texture, you can work with pressure-sensitivity, or even contour-and-stretch leaves and grasses along a path. And unlike any other way of working, the brush marks can remain vectors, so they can be infinitely selectable, editable, and changeable.

Until Illustrator gets the Rotate View and Brush Resize keyboard shortcuts, it’s just not very natural for certain types of work. I wasn’t able to sketch primarily in Photoshop until those were finally added.
George-
The new natural brushes in CS5 do react to the keyboard shortcuts (bracket keys).
Kevin — thanks for that info, will give it a try.
