![]() Then the edge and the original shape were united (= Window > Pathfinder > Unite) to one. ![]() The brush was black and the edge became black, no matter what fill colors the drawn shapes had.Īfter applying the brush the shape was expanded (=Object > Expand Appearance). To stay in truth I say at first, that setting the shape color was not a snap. The shapes which got the brush stroke have longer edges than the length of my brush. I dragged it to the brushes collection and defined it to be a pattern brush.Īs you see, the pattern repeats. The ellipse and the not so well defined shape (drawn with the pen) in the left have both edge strokes given by my own Pattern Brush. You only prepare vector texture brushes to get the scratches. If you can accept something which looks a little simplified you can well draw it in Illustrator. There's no need to draw such a complex vector image, you can as well trace a bitmap image to vector - either a photo of a real surface or one which is created in Photoshop. That's true only if the texture is available as a fill pattern or as a clipped image or as a brush.Ĭomplex enough vector drawing would have tens of thousands anchor points which would slow down your computer. Another one is the possibility to test different shapes. One of them is free scalability without pixelation nor blur. ![]() ![]() Having it as a vector in Illustrator has advantages. I guess it's a real painting which has intentional scratches in the top color layers. Getting the same non-repeating random complexity than your linked image has is much easier in a bitmap image editor (GIMP, Photoshop etc.)than in Illustrator. ![]()
