Illustrator has a wide variety of drawing tools found in the Toolbar, each allowing you to create in different ways. This tutorial introduces the Blob brush tool.
This class doesn't need any source files.
The Paintbrush tool, similar to the Pencil tool, is for creating more free-form paths. The great thing about the Paintbrush tool is that you can select a brush, like a calligraphy brush or texture, that is applied to the path you draw.
The Blob Brush tool, found by pressing the Paintbrush tool in the Toolbar, is for creating filled, compound paths. New shapes painted with the Blob Brush tool will merge with existing shapes with the same appearance settings.
So, what it does acts like a paintbrush but the blob brush tool is many for coloring in. So, if you have linework, or if you doing character design or you are doing like the sort of like a sketchy type of illustrative style then you probably want to use this blob brush tool.
The thing is with the blob brush tool it doesn’t paint as a stroke but it’s actually a fill color.
We saw in our previews classes that we couldn’t draw if we don’t choose any stroke color for the paintbrush tool. But in the blob brush tool, we can select fill color and draw any design.
Click right here and select the blob brush tool.
Create a new page. Select a fill color, Stroke will be none. Select a brush style. Click right and select "Blob Brush Tool" Double click here to open “blob brush tool options” and Increase the fidelity to the maximum. Draw a shape. Select the direct selection tool and select the whole shape double click on these anchors to unlock it and upscale this shape.
So, the brush works by using simply brushing in the normal brush panel. As you can see, we can use the default brushes also.
So, you can see it actually paints with fill color and makes it a whole shape.
So, you can scale it up, and we can change the color. But it recognizes as a shape, not a path.
Go to our first page and select the blob brush tool. Then select fill color and stroke none. You can increase or decrease the size like a normal brush tool. (by using the left square bracket or right square bracket) so it’s similar to photoshop. But it will not paint behind the window because we did not create a new layer and we did not put it under this main layer. You can see our window is behind this green paint. We need to paint the green color behind this window not the wind behind this paint.
Select layer 1 and click on this new layer icon to create a new layer and drag the layer 2 under the layer 1.
So, I’m pressing the right square bracket to make it bigger and the left square bracket to make it smaller.
So, you can see you can paint and make it smaller or bigger.
You can erase the extra green color outside of this border by an eraser tool. Make sure you still selected the layer 2. Other wise the window will erase.
So, Dear Guys don’t forget to subscribe and please press the bell icon so that I can notify you about every new classes.
