Coloring Brushes in Adobe Illustrator

Hi Gang,
Many of you asked me about coloring brushes in Adobe Illustrator.

Well, I know, I promised to make a video tutorial long time ago, but there is so much to do and so little time :)

Anyways, finally, it is here. Video tutorial on coloring the brushes.

Before watching it, please make sure that you have your Illustrator ready and the brushes window open (F5).

Basically, what I’m doing here is the following:

First I load my Adobe Illustrator brushes from Vector Floral Shapes set (30). As soon as the desired brush is clicked on – it appears on the brushes window.
Double click on the brush to open a dialog box. “Colorization method” has to be set to “Tints”.
Rest is self explanatory, just make the shape and select the color with the color picker

Enjoy the movie and let me know if you think I should add more details.

Have fun creating!

Silvia

P.S.

Of course, even if you are not interested in getting 800+ HiRes Pro Photoshop brushes for 1/2 the price (which is barely possible); you certainly don’t want to miss the Vectors and Illustrations department in my little shop :)

Tutorial: How to create a shiny Web 2.0 button in Illustrator

Easy :)
First, draw a circle (using Shift tab) and fill it with radial gradient like this:

Now, copy that circle, paste it on the top of the first one and make it smaller. Rotate the gradient fill in that smaller circle for 180 degree. This will create a “shining” effect.

Make another circle resize it to make it smaller than the one we did just now. Fill it in using simple radial gradient fill.

Now make the fourth (this is the last one) circle that’s smaller than third one and use Pen tool to create a shape that will look like this: (select the bottom anchor point and simply delete it).
