16 “Sketchy” Illustrator Brushes

Here are a bunch of Adobe Illustrator brushes. These are the first set of Illustrator brushes that I am releasing. I was excited to put them together. If you find them useful, all I ask in return is that you leave a comment, tweet or otherwise spread the word about this post.

How I created these Illustrator brushes

I made these Illustrator brushes using a permanent marker on paper, then scanned them in at 600dpi. If you want to make sketchy brushes yourself, I would recommend trying paint brushes. And if you do, share them in comments below – we would be glad to feature them in a post.
