Custom Pattern Brush - Adobe Illustrator Tutorial

In this tutorial I show you how to create your own custom pattern brush in Adobe Illustrator. I also demonstrate how you can create custom corner tiles and start/end tiles to really give your brushes some extra flair.

In addition to the basic creation of the brush I also cover some issues that you might run into like... your corner tiles looking too large in the preview, tiny gaps that show up when you outline your brushes, and bounding boxes showing up when you outline the stroke.

If you have any suggestions for other design based tutorials I'd love to hear them in the comments down below. Also if there was anything I missed in this video that you need clarification on let me know and I'll try to help out.

The best explanation I have found on YouTube so far (covering all the pattern slots) and it is from 3 years ago 👏

Thank you Dave, I've been looking to get a fuller understanding of how to create Pattern Brushes and all other videos I've seen (many many!) gloss over the exact things needed to create fully functioning brushes. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge ⭐
