Description
In this class, you will learn how to create custom leaf brushes in Adobe Illustrator. Through step-by-step instructions, you will discover the process of creating and using leaf brushes to enhance your designs. From simple leaf shapes to more complex leaf brushes, you will learn techniques to make unique and reusable brushes that can be used in your future projects. By the end of the class, you will have a solid understanding of the art brush tool in Adobe Illustrator and be able to create stunning leaf effects with ease.
We'll create three brushes in this class to help you understand the art brush settings in Adobe Illustrator:
- a simple leaf shape
- a more complex outlined leaf
- a two-toned leaf
Even if you've never created a brush before, I'll take you step by step through the process. We'll explore the different setting available when creating an art brush from our leaf shapes and learn to manipulate the strokes that use the brushes.
Once you've completed the class, you will have the skills you need to create your own library of brushes that you can use in your own design work.
As a bonus lesson, I show you some samples of my work that incorporate some of the leaf brushes I've created. Using my own brushes saves me time and allows me to easily manipulate the size and position of the leaves. And I'm all for saving time and making my design process easier!

Instructor's CoursesHi! I'm Stacy Kenny Mitchell, artist, author, and entrepreneur. A life-long artist and crafter, I create patterns and designs for embroidery, fabric, home goods, and accessories. I love to help other crafters learn new skills.
I love to create stuff in a variety of ways: painting, drawing, knitting, quilting, embroidery... you get the picture! You can read about my deep-rooted need to create on my blog.
As much as I love to create, I also enjoy teaching and helping others to tap into their creativity - hence my classes here on Skillshare! I also teach at my local community college, as well as offer workshops on a variety of topics for companies and organizations.
Like the scarf I'm wearing? You can learn to make that in my Knitting Cables without a Cable Needle class!
