During this recent project, I made good use of one of my favorite tools in Adobe Illustrator – custom brushes.

In under ten minutes I have produced this complicated graphic, simply by designing a set of custom brushes and applying them to a circle.

Here are the brushes I generated:-

They are yours for free. Download the zipped file Here

To install

1. unzip the file
2. Copy the file to your Illustrator > Presets > Brushes folder
3. Restart illustrator.
4. Illustrator>window>brush libraries>indigo_image_1

The brushes will now appear in your brush palette.

Enjoy!
