Please note! These charcoal vector brushes are compatible with Adobe Illustrator CS1 to CC only. Get Charcoal Brushes for Affinity Designer.
Our authentic charcoal brushes are the result of hours of experimentation, which produced vector brushes with smudgy, life-like, soft textures that look so real that it’s hard to believe that they’re vectors. Use these tools to up your vector illustration game and create authentic-looking artwork in Adobe Illustrator!
Use them to build subtle layers of charcoal tone by setting the blend-mode to ‘Multiply’.
