In earlier movies we looked at how to prepare raster…images for using them as brushes in Illustrator CC and later.…So we're going to assume that you're good with that…and I've made you three different brushes with my chart.…And this is a little exercise that I call playing…with your feud, which is an homage to that wonderful photographic…book of a few years back, and you simply select your paintbrush.…Select one of the chart brushes, and go ahead and paint.…
And just have fun.…Make adjustments if you need to. And do what you need to do.…You'll notice if you do something really…wonky, you're going to get some strange effects.…So you can undo, or redraw a stroke if you want to.…Has to be select in order to redraw it. There you go.…So have fun with this and in the next…movie we're going to just be playing with applying…different Art Brushes to the same paths.…
