Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode, a greeting card with calligraphic text and brush stroke ornaments. Using the Paintbrush Tool, calligraphic brush, and art brush. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Brushes in Illustrator are the stroke style applied to a path. The path remains a regular vector, only its appearance changes, so it can be edited and replaced with a brush at any time.

Step 1: Brushes Panel

Open the brushes panel from the icon column. This panel contains a list of brushes with a preview of their strokes. There are 5 types of brushes: calligraphic, sketch, art, bristle, and pattern.

Step 2: Creating a Calligraphic Brush

Click New Brush, select Calligraphic Brush. Set the angle to 45 degrees and the rowness to 20%, so the brush tip looks like a calligraphy pen. Name the calligraphy pen.

Step 3: Drawing with the Paintbrush Tool

Select the Paintbrush Tool with the B key and the calligraphy pen brush. Write the word 'Hai' with a continuous motion. The line thickens when moving vertically and thins when moving diagonally, just like a calligraphy pen.

Step 4: Brush on an Existing Path

Brushes can also be applied to regular paths. Draw a curve with the Pen Tool below the text, then click the calligraphy pen brush in the brushes panel. The curve instantly takes on a calligraphic style.

Step 5: Art Brush Pointed Tip

Select the art brush with a pointed tip at both ends. Draw a curved stroke around the text as an ornament. Art brushes stretch the brush shape along the path, so the tip remains pointed.

Step 6: Color and Swatch

Add red-brown text and golden ornaments, along with a cream background. Save and export the greeting card.

Done. We've learned about the brushes panel, created a calligraphic brush, drawn with the Paintbrush Tool, applied existing brushes to paths, and used a pointed art brush. In the next episode, we'll use the sketch and pattern brush. Need a logo design, brand identity, vector illustration, infographics, or print and social media materials?
