Working with brushes
Brushes let you stylize the appearance of paths. You can apply brush strokes to existing paths, or
you can use the Paintbrush tool ( ) to draw a path and apply a brush stroke simultaneously.
Next you’ll copy existing artwork from another Illustrator document and apply a brush to part of
it.Note
Learn more about working with brushes in Lesson 11, “Using Brushes to Create a
