Illustrator Tutorial on Making a Custom Brushes


Open a new document. Navigate to File > New and choose any resolution you prefer.

Use the circle shape tool to create several shapes on your canvas and arrange them. Remember to choose the empty fill (as seen in the picture). Also, a stroke of 7px should be just fine for our purpose.

This is the result so far.

If you want to add some colour to the stars you choose to do so. You can find the options up under the menu bar.


Make the Brushes window checked. Find it under Window > Brushes (or press F5).


Choose the circles using the Move Tool (V) then, in the Brush Window click the small arrow and open the New Brush option (also, you can just select and drag them into the Brush Window). A dialog will appear. Choose New Scatter Brush. Name the Brush and check that your options are similar as shown below.


Your customized Brush is ready. Test it using the Brush Tool.
