Next, you will make an Art brush from the selected artwork. You can make an Art brush
from vector artwork or from
embedded
raster images, but that artwork must not contain
gradients, blends, other brush strokes, mesh objects, graphs, linked files, masks, or text that
has not been converted to outlines.
Note
When dealing with embedded images and brushes, there is a direct impact
on the performance of the document in Illustrator. There is a fixed limit to
the size of the embedded image that can be used for a brush. You may see
a dialog box telling you that the image needs to be resampled before you
can make a brush from it.
