My best-selling Fine Liner Brushes for Illustrator were the result of a recent trip down memory lane, where, while sorting through old art college sketchbooks, re-discovered a love for the fine liner. I used to spend more hours than I probably should have making patterns, shapes & doodles. I soon realized that there were no brushes that would allow me to return to these roots and do this in Adobe Illustrator.
The Artifex Forge is therefore pleased to present this authentic and versatile tool kit, which includes a huge range of different pen marks – straight and rough outlines, dots and dashes, stippling, hatching, zigzags and more.
Most of the brushes use the pattern brush feature, which tiles a section along the stroke meaning that the brushes don’t over-stretch on long strokes, streamlining the drawing process and saving you time. I’ve also included a few outline art brushes for shorter sections. Finally, there’s a set of seamless, repeat patterns, which I designed to fill large areas quickly.
