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 :)

The rest is up to your imagination :)
This video was created with one shape from Vector Floral Shapes Illustrator set (there are 30 of them in this package – click here for more info). You can make endless designs just by moving anchors and handles with “Direct Selection Tool” as shown in this video.
So, what I’m saying is: It’s really easy with the NEW …

UPDATE January 28th 2008: Illustrator CS version “Floral brushes” available for download! Yet another addition to Illustrator freebies section :)
Greetings from Rovinj!
That’s funny, because here, in this beautiful Mediterranean city in Croatia is the home of the biggest tobacco company in this part of Europe and guess what: “Pozdrav iz Rovinja” (translation: “Greetings from Rovinj”) is their well known slogan…
Living here is not a simple task (like living anywhere is… ), I’m on a slowest GPRS wireless connection ever! Thanks to my provider and former employer company VIP (Vodafone). I literally have to open the window and put the notebook there in order to get G3 connection, but hey – only for a few minutes. Then it breaks and it takes me five to ten minutes to get the connection again.
Anyway, for today we have an Adobe Illustrator floral brushes for download, and the correct path where the file should be saved is: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS3\Presets\Brushes
