SpongeBob Adobe Illustrator Inking Tutorial #3 Brushes

Download my custom template (which includes all my custom brushes) at cartoonsnap.com Step by Step Tutorial shows how I drew, inked and painted the new SpongeBob cover for NICK Magazine. Adobe Illustrator freehand brush tool. You’ll need a pressure-sensitive tablet like a Wacom Bamboo or Intuos to get the thick and thin line variation. Hope that helps! –sherm

   You’re very welcome! I had those same frustrations when I started trying to work with Illustrator, so YOU’RE exactly the sort of person I made these tutorials for 🙂

   Thank you SO MUCH for your tutorials! I’ve always struggled with line art. I do have a question. What settings would you recommend for a sharp brush – for sharp, pointy lines? I keep ending up with rounded-off edges when I want a sharp end.

   Definitely. Completely came across you by accident and glad I did. On a side note, my girlfriend just pointed out to me that you probably know our friend Chris as he worked on Sponge Bob as well. Small world if you do!

    hey mate, got to say this tutorial was very helpfull since i just got illustrator and still learning the basics, the brush creation part was awesome. cheers
    one thing i would like to ask, it might sound noobish but, i don’t manage to be able to use the brush over an opened document, i mean, i create a new layer but it does not allow me to go over it with the brush.
    can you help me pls?
    thx
