30 Sets of High-Quality Adobe Illustrator Brushes

Good Illustrator brushes are a little bit harder to find than good Photoshop brushes, but there are some quality, free sets out there. Several months ago I published a collection of 45 sets of Illustrator brushes, and today we’ll feature 30 additional sets.

    Thanks! I’m always looking for Illustrator brushes. I’m going to look back at the other set as well.

    @BillyG – I don’t you can use them directly, but here’s a tutorial on creating PS brushes using Illustrator artwork: http://mediaslap.com/posts/5-how-to-create-and-use-a-photoshop-brush-using-artwork-from-adobe-illustrator
