Have you ever seen a worm and wondered which side was the head, and which side was the tail? Well, our brush is like a worm and we need to establish its anatomy. You’ll need to create a brush for each application. It’s important to understand that Illustrator brushes will not work in Photoshop, and vice-versa.
Illustrator brushes are vector and use the .ai filetype, whereas Photoshop uses .abr, and isn’t vector. Choose Illustrator in the next screen and tap “Next”.īrushes work differently depending on the application they’re used in. For this exercise I applied vermilion acrylic directly from the tube (no brush) onto the canvas in my notebook, and as you can see from the screenshot below, it comes out quite thick. If you don’t already have an image in the Camera Roll or in your Creative Cloud that you’d like to use, select “Camera” and take a snapshot of your hand-drawn brush. Press the “+” icon (on the left) to initiate a capture. So there you have it, brushes and libraries to store the brushes in. If you’d like to create a new library, click My Library>Create New Library from the top-middle dropdown field. Skip on over to the other side and there will be a three-circle icon - this will let you rename your library of brushes or select a friend to collaborate on this library with. In the top-left corner of the device screen you’ll see the Adobe Brush CC logo - there’s nothing interesting here only things related to Adobe and your Creative Cloud subscription. Nonetheless, lets explore the interface while it’s here. I’ve come to realize that with Adobe mobile apps this is rather normal, however, Adobe Shape took me straight into the camera mode and showed me how to capture a vector, which I felt was more useful. Adobe Brush’s InterfaceĪt first you’ll be shown My Library. When you’ve installed the application on your iOS device and signed in with your Adobe ID, we’ll continue with the next step - learning the interface.įYI: I’m using an iPad for this tutorial the iPhone interface may differ slightly. Adobe calls these “capture” apps and they’re especially useful for hands-on designers. In this article we’ll be exploring a similar workflow with one of Adobe Shape’s companion apps, Adobe Brush CC.
In my last article I wrote about Adobe Shape CC, one of the new mobile apps that Adobe released to the Apple iOS app store in late 2014, which allows us to capture real life elements with the device camera, convert them to vector and save them into the Creative Cloud for further use in Adobe’s desktop applications ( Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, et cetera).
