Strikingly beautiful, metallic paint stroke brushes for Adobe Illustrator CC — and you can even change the color right within the program. If you’re very familiar with Illustrator, you might think I’m joking, but think again!
Introducing a completely new way to use Illustrator to paint like a pro — with creamy, dreamy fantasy paint stroke styles! I’ve been working on this revolutionary new brush system since the beginning of January! That’s over 3 months of tons of trial and error, tweaking and perfecting, all so you can just have fun and create! Not only that, I have created a huge library of my trademark tutorial videos to help you get the absolute most from your new favorite brush set!
I myself am a huge Photoshop user, using Illustrator only selectively. But there are some incredible things you can only do in Illustrator, and these Vectallic Magic brushes are a great example of harnessing the best of Illustrator’s power! I created this new technique for coloring image brushes for those who like to work more in Illustrator. Even if you’re not a regular Illustrator user, what you can do with these brushes will totally lure you in for some fun!
Whether you’re using the strokes on their own, or just as part of your design or illustration, they elevate your art, change your idea of what’s possible, and save tons of time!
Check out the revolutionary new technique I developed to allow for changing the color of the beautiful image brushes right within Illustrator! I also made a video for a behind-the-scenes look at how I overcame Illustrator limitations to solve the problem of how to color image brushes and create new possibilities for what you can do in Illustrator.
The Essentials Collection Includes:
– Adobe Illustrator CC Brush Libraries: The 20 Vectallic Magic brushes feature 5 unique paint styles and 4 lengths (small, medium, long, extra long), plus there is an additional 20 matching 1-color standard Illustrator brushes, and 5 bonus ink splatter brushes.
– Copy and Paste Brush Charts: I have set up and organized copy and paste brush charts with all of the brushes already applied to a sample stroke, labeled and organized. Most importantly, I have set up the pre-colored strokes, which you will use to be able to easily colorize your own strokes — changing the color, darkness, and intensity with ease — all right within Illustrator!
– Photoshop Bonus Styles: For those of you (like myself), who prefer to work in Photoshop. These Color Add-On Styles allow you to quickly change the color of your strokes or illustrations after pasting them in Photoshop.
– Bonus Photoshop Mixer Brush: I love painting the brush strokes in Illustrator to create the foundation for my illustration, then taking them into Photoshop and smudging the design around with my mixer brush to give it a truly hand-made look. I include my favorite go-to mixer brush, plus give you a great tutorial to show you how easy this technique is!
– In-depth Tutorials: I took the time to make a huge tutorial playlist to walk you through all the aspects of working with the new Vectallic Magic brushes. There are 14 videos and over 88 minutes of instruction included, and I give you all kinds of tips and tricks for getting the most out of these revolutionary new brushes!
– Reference Charts: Handy labeled and organized .JPEG charts with all of the brush strokes.
Don’t use Illustrator CC?
You don’t have to miss out on all the fun and gorgeous strokes if you don’t use or have Adobe Illustrator CC! I’ve included 110 print resolution .PNGs of a variety of shapes created with the brush strokes, so that you can use them in your graphic program of choice. You won’t have the brush functionality obviously, but you can use the shapes created with the brush strokes in your illustrations and designs.
Software compatibility: Adobe Illustrator CC.

I WANT THIS PACKAGE!! Any plans to make a Photoshop version?
Ben Neeves –
Hey Roberta,
Thanks for your comment! I’m really sorry but I’m afraid that this is a Illustrator CC only product. Jessica has used the latest Illustrator technology to create this pack so unfortunately there won’t be the option of a Photoshop version. I am so sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Thanks again for your comment, Roberta. If you have any other questions or if there is ever anything I could assist you with please do get in touch. I’m always happy to help!
Karen –
Beautiful! Really want them but unfortunately don’t have the Illustrator CC version.
Ben Neeves –
Thank you for your kind words, Karen!
I’m really sorry to hear that these brushes won’t work for you. Jessica has included transparent PNGs for those who don’t have CC but want to have a play with the brush strokes. I hope this helps!

Amanda,
Absolutely beautiful brushes and looks like they would be a great tool in anyone’s digital toolbox. With that said I understand that the “brush engine” in Illustrator CC is the only app that these brushes are compatible with…but therein lies the dilemma.
There is a significant and large populace of designers and artists who refuse to be baited by Adobe’s CC money scheme and products, and will never have a subscription with them. I am one of them and have been using Adobe products within my 30 years of graphic design experience, but that all came to a halt with the subscription debacle from Adobe whom are very smug and arrogant.
I wish you nothing but the best with these “new” brushes. Thank you!
Ben Neeves –
Hey Ed,
Thank you so much for your comment and for your kind words about this brush pack! I can totally understand your reluctance with Adobe’s new subscription service that they offer, I know that that it is not for anybody.
I am so sorry you’re unable to use these brushes but thank you so much for your kind well wishes to Jessica. :)
If there is ever anything I could assist you with in the future please do get in touch. I’m always happy to lend a hand!

I am also one of those graphic designers who ABSOLUTELY will NOT get sucked into the CC. It is unfortunate some of the best apps and features are only avail. through CC and not for the people who fork out close to 2,000$$ for the complete suite, which i have done since the beginning.
Oh well….the brushes look cool, and could think of a hundred different ways of using them …
Ben Neeves –
Hey Aneesah,
Thank you so much for your comment! You are certainly not alone – We can totally appreciate that not all of our community want to move over to a subscription based service.
Whilst there will be items in our bundles that have been created for CC. Rest assured, we will always do our best to include resources that are compatible with the wide range of design softwares our community members work with so you will certainly still be able to work with a number of bundle items in your software :)
Thanks again for getting in touch, Aneesah, and if there are any resources on your wish list that you would like to see in our marketplace or in an upcoming bundle, please do not hesitate to send me some links and I will do my best to secure those items for you!
Susan –

Ben Neeves –
Hey Susan,
Thank you so much for getting in touch and showing Jessica’s Brush pack some love! She has put together an amazing YouTube playlist together showcasing this pack and all it’s awesome goodness so I would definitely recommend checking it out! :)
I have just sent you a quick email with a link to this. I hope it helps, and please don’t hesitate to contact me should you have any other questions. I’m here to help!
Pat –
