Illustrator Vector Rope Brush Tutorial

  • Опубліковано 17 бер 2019
  • In this Adobe Illustrator tutorial, I'll discuss how to make a vector rope brush pattern for free. This technique can apply to custom brush patterns as well; there's no need to limit it to just a rope brush. You can use brushes like this to make a border or apply them to any custom shape you want.

      You mean when you create the pattern brush? Check to see if your angle and other settings like scale are set accordingly. My guess is the angle is off, but I can't say for sure without seeing an image.

    I am using CS but none of your align options work for me. What am I doing wrong? The align tool does nothing and moving the point doesn't "snap" to a 90° point, and nor does it remove the arc. I figured out a work around, but I am curious

    • @CaryHawkins
      @CaryHawkins  4 роки тому

      I rewatched my video. If you follow my steps, it should work for you. Did you check the "align to:" in the bottom right of your align window? Did you use smart guides to get points to snap? I'm not sure what you mean by removing the arc, please clarify what you are asking there. Use a time stamp if you can.

    • @CaryHawkins

      Sometimes the "gap" is just a visual effect and isn't really there. This often shows up in pdf files. If you put a layer of color behind it, that can sometimes alleviate the issue.
