For the first brush in this series, we're going to start with a pin tuck brush.…It's a simple, brush but it's very, very useful, and it's easy to make.…So, let's get started.…Whenever I draw brushes, I like to draw them next to either the flat, or a flat…template, so I can gauge the scale of the brush that I'm making.…Let's start with the Line Segment Tool.…Click once on the page, and make a line segment that's 4 points long, with an…angle of 0 degrees, and click OK.…And we'll zoom in, since this is quite small.…I would like this line segment to have no fill, a black stroke, a stroke weight…of 1 point, and let's go ahead and change the end caps on the stroke to Butt…Cap, so it's got a nice straight edge.…
Now we need a second line segment that's half the size of this one, and we can…go ahead and do that by using the Scale Tool.…So, let's double-click on the Scale Tool, type in 50%, because I want one that's…half the size of this, and make sure that Scale Strokes & Effects is not checked,…and click Copy, because we want a second stroke.…
