The Artifex Forge is giving this and other useful resources for free in a bid to help designers and illustrators who have been hit financially by COVID-19.

Do you find yourself spending precious time adjusting the stroke widths and end shapes of your Illustrator brush marks to make the perfect shape? If so then these brushes will be ideal for you. The set speeds up the drawing process giving strokes varied thicknesses and a more life-like look.

I’ve grouped the brushes into sets to make them easier to work with. You can see these groups listed below and also in the preview images.

To use the brushes simply select a brush from the tab and draw with the brush tool. The color and width can be adjusted as required.

Included in this set:

• 11 general purpose outline brushes
• 7 dashed outline brushes
• 8 fat end outline brushes
• 9 fat to thin brushes
• 10 round end brushes
• 7 short outline brushes
• 6 abstract outline brushes
• A demo file -the skull image – so you can see how I achieved the look from the preview (CS5 to CC only)
• Instructions

Software compatibility: Adobe Illustrator CS1 and newer.
