How do you make a brush stroke in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:42 pm

In Illustrator, brush strokes can be created by using the Pen tool and various other brushes. To create a brush stroke, start by selecting the Pen tool and clicking on the artboard. Next, click and drag the cursor to the area you want to paint. When you release the mouse button, a brush will be created and the cursor will change to a crosshair.

PRO TIP: This question is too vague, and could result in a lot of different answers. A better question would be: “How do you create a brush stroke effect in Illustrator?”

You can now choose the size, shape, and type of brush you want to use. To paint with the brush, click and drag the crosshair around the desired area.
