To replace the distorted corner in her castle brush with the new smooth corner,
Jackmore first duplicated the castle brush by dragging it to the New Brush icon in
the Brushes panel. Next, setting her Brushes panel view to Thumbnail, she selected
the pattern brush without the castle, then dragged it to the artboard to reveal the
artwork that makes up each of the tiles. To replace the distorted corner with the
smooth one, she used the Direct Selection tool to marquee the artwork that formed
the smooth corner. Holding Option/Alt, she then dragged the selected art into the
Brushes panel, and when the new smooth corner was directly on top of the
distorted castle tile in the duplicate, she saw a
+
icon and released the cursor
(figure
d
). In Pattern Brush Options she clicked OK, and the result was a new
pattern brush with the smooth corner tile with subtle, small variations where some
quatrefoils met at the corners. Find the link to her CreativePro article with more
