Donal Jolley
This sampler by Donal Jolley, using his 6D Art Pen, demonstrates the tremendous
variety you get from brushes that ship with Illustrator. When you add a Wacom
pressure-sensitive pen and tablet to these out-of-the-box brushes, you can
introduce even more variety into your strokes; the standard Grip Pen registers
pressure, tilt, and bearing, and the optional, more sensitive Art Pens (6D Art for
Intuos3, or Art Pen for Intuos4) add the ability to vary each stroke with rotation. The
bristle brush responds particularly well to the Art Pens, adding a new dimension to
painting. You can manually transform some of your strokes (but not those made with
the calligraphic, scatter, or bristle brushes), by modifying its profile with the Width
tool (such as Spikey above), and then saving that profile to apply to other strokes.
