BioRUST Forums - View Single Post - Borders...? Help please ;-)

Hev · 08-02-2006

Hi I'm totally new!! to this forum & illustrator - I'm an oldfashioned pen and ink illustrator - But I need to get with it & use Adobe. Using an old version (9) at present, just started, so using the posts here to work through some tutorials etc.. Thanks!

But I really need to work out how to add new brushes, to make borders - like the ivy & greek keyline patterns that are already in the Brushes section. I've sussed the NEW Brush bit - but I can't get the dropper to change the colours - Help.

Also, I'd really like to be able to create my own borders - either by scanning & importing or by drawing in illustrator. is there a way that you can turn an image into a brush. so that i can draw a section of outline & then use it to create a border using the pen tool?
