20 High-Quality Free Illustrator Brush Sets

Wednesday, March 16, 2016

Brush sets come in a great variety of shapes and textures that will make your designs attain a more natural and unique look. Any web designer should have a brush collection to help them with their designs, as they offer a great alternative to plain text, which can get quite boring and can easily be overlooked, failing to communicate the desired message to the viewer. With these brushes, you can quickly and easily create your own one-of-a-kind typography, logos, and artwork for websites as well as other projects like posters, brochures and t-shirt designs, while resting assured that your designs will stand out from the rest.

These brush sets have been created by designers, for designers, and most of them can be used for both personal and commercial use at no cost (although keep an eye out for the few that require a license in order to be used for commercial purposes). Each set comes packed with dozens of brushes varying in size and texture, that will give your designs a hand-drawn, original appearance. Additionally, these sets are super easy to download and use; simply download the file and open it in Illustrator. It doesn’t get any easier than this! You can also save the brushes, so you won’t have to open the Illustrator file every time you want to use them.

Illustrator offers some fantastic features that allow you to edit and combine multiple brushes in order to create some really cool effects. By changing the opacity, size, and clarity of the brushes, you have unlimited control over your designs and countless options for creating something that’s entirely yours! These brushes can be used for virtually any purpose: creating beautiful backgrounds and illustrations, and original typography (it doesn’t get more unique than your own handwriting). Also, most of these brush sets are available in more than one type, so they can be easily used with other versions of Illustrator.
