1. Blob brush in touch mode

   I work with a Wacom mobilestudiopro and I really like the touch mode but the blob brush is not accessible in this mode. It will be really helpful if you can add this brush. Thanks a lot

2. Brush Groups

   I would like to be able to select several brushes in the Brush palette, then press a 'make brush group' button on the palette.

   I would then be able to choose this brush group as if it were a brush. Drawing with this brush group would choose a different brush in the group at random for every new path I created.

   I might have a 'brush group options' dialogue box wherein I could choose the relative frequencies of the different brushes in the group, switch it between random choice and cycling between brushes in order, give it a name, and... whatever other features seem to need to be in there once it starts taking shape, really.

   Ideally, I would be able to have a brush in multiple groups. I would also be able to have brushes of different types in one group - if I wanted to mix an art brush with a scatter brush, for instance, I could.

   And ideally, altering the brush group would alter existing paths drawn using the brush group. This might be a choice similar to how changing the settings of a brush that's in use asks if you want to apply the changes to all existing paths that use it.

   I've been dabbling with a more 'natural media' look in Illustrator. For my purposes, art brushes seem to be working best, but I'll often start to notice the same repeated features of an art brush sticking out of my drawings. If I could make, say, ten "dry brush" brushes, and have Illustrator constantly swapping between them, this would make the illusion of real media a lot easier to keep up.

   Similarly, I use a lot of scatter brushes for things like trees or grass. It would be useful to be able to have several different 'leaf' scatter brushes and just scribble in a few overlapping strokes that automatically pick between them.

   I would also be able to create Graphic Styles that call for the use of a brush group on a stroke instead of a single brush.

3. SQUARE blob brush would be great

   The blob brush is a really great tool for an illustrator like me, but it would be so much more versatile if Illustrator would made available a SQUARE brush next to the round brush.
   (CC Animate provides both round and square brushes and it is just great.)
   It would allow us to easily draw by hand things with square angles like windows, buildings etc.
   A square brush also makes it possible to draw in a woodcut style.
   You would even make me happier if it would be possible to stretch and/or rotate the (both round and square) blob brush.

   Attached an example of a woodcut-style typography handwritten in CC Animate with a square brush (with pressure sensitive tablet pen).

   Thank you!

4. Scatter Brush 'scatter magnitude' slider

   I would like to see a new pair of sliders in the scatter brush options that controls how 'powerful' the scatter is.

   Each instance of the brush image would have its distance from the central path, as defined by the 'scatter' slider(s), multiplied by this value. So if it was at 0%, any effect of the scatter sliders would be completely nullified, if it was at 1000%, the effect of the scatter sliders would be multiplied by ten.

   Essentially, I would like to be able to control how 'wide' a scatter brush is based on my stylus pressure. The existing 'scatter' control just directly maps light pressure to the value of the left slider and full pressure to the one on the right, which results in the brush art being deposited in a line that wiggles around the path. Which is rarely what I want.

   More broadly it would probably be nice to be able to make a scatter brush’s size, spacing, and rotation vary with stylus pressure/tilt/bearing/whatever. Scatter is just the setting I most keenly feel the lack of this with.

5. Add certain features

   I think you should change the brush type and make it as same as the Photoshop, as the brush of Photoshop is much convinient.
   Like we can use a soft brush or we can lower the opacity of the brush easily and same with the eraser tool.
   Now, Photoshop is raster based software whereas Illustrator is a vector based which is the positive point a for Illustrator.
   File made in Illustrator is much more useful and file made in Photoshop is much more on the attractive side.
   So we need Illustrator to be easy and convenient to use.
   Or else make a new software which will be the combination of both Illustrator as well as Photoshop.

6. Brush tool stops working

   When drawing a complex shape with the brush tool it just stops working after a certain amount of time. I'm not sure if it is because it has used too many points to make the shape or what, but its very frustrating. FIX YOUR PROGRAM PLEASE.

   Need More Info  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   Anthony, if this is still a problem for you, please provide a test file (here in comments or via sharewithai@adobe.com) and some details on this:

   – does the behavior, once is happens, affect only one document or others as well?

   – does it stay when you save, relaunch the app and reopen the file?

   – does deleting some portion of the art fix the problem?
