Let users select their own brush strokes rather than enforcing inappropriate and slow ones on them
What if Illustrator didn't default to inappropriate brush strokes every time I attempted to use their brush? Often, I find myself working on designs that need clean vector outlines rather than a ragged brush stroke effect. Having to switch back from the ragged brush stroke every time is time-consuming and slows the software. What if we gave users the freedom to select the brush of their choice?

When switching between custom keyboard shortcuts from the Brush to the Blob Brush, the shape stays the same and doesn't respond to tablet pen pressure sensitivity.

Brush palette inconsistent with Direct Selection Tool
I select a path drawn with the brush tool using Direct Select then click another brush. Sometimes the brush is applied to the path, sometimes it isn't, although the brush is shown to have changed as expected in the brush palette.
If the brush is not applied as described, when I deselect the path and select it again it reverts to showing the original brush.
I'm sure this has happened since the latest update (28.1, 64 bit, Win 10). I work with brush tool a lot and this is introducing a lot of irritation and wasted time to my projects.

Brush Pressure not working (greyed out) in 27.8.1 - Reverting to version 27.7 fixes issue
When Illustrator auto updated to 27.8.1, all my pressure brushes stopped working. Pressure is not available as a brush option.
I use an XP-Pen artist Pro 15.6 tablet on Windows 10
I went through the SOP that I do when this happens - uninstalled and reinstalled multiple versions of the XP-Pen drivers and nothing worked. I think reverted Illustrator back to 27.7 and it works again.
It would be nice if this functionality didn't break regularly when new versions are released. It makes Auto-updating an unrealistic option as I end up wasting time chasing down bugs when I really should…

"NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" APPEARANCE panel options NOT working for BRUSH
On the desktop version of Illustrator.....
When you use the pencil tool with 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" set in the APPEARANCE panel options, any subsequent/new pencil art has a basic appearance as it is supposed to.
When you use the pencil tool with 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" NOT set in the APPEARANCE panel options, any subsequent/new pencil art has the same appearance as the last made pencil stroke as it is supposed to.
THESE TWO 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" SETTINGS in the APPEARANCE panel options unfortunately DO NOT WORK this way when using the Brush tool.

pen tablet skipping brush strokes works fine in photoshop but not illustrator
I have Illustrator 2022 and Illustrator 2020 and it skips strokes some times with both versions. It shows a circle that represents the brush where I start the stroke and it also shows the brush symbol that is moving with the pen tip. The circle that represents the brush stays where I start the stroke until I finish the stroke and lift the pen, then the circle that represents the brush goes away, while the brush symbol is moving with my stroke but no stroke is being drawn. The brush strokes in Photoshop are fine, they do not skip strokes…

Illustrator brushes disappearing
I have existing brushes I made in Illustrator that I have used for over ten years. Suddenly today they are disappearing in my files. I've rebooted and re-set the brush. I am using a MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019, OS Monterey 12.2.1, Illustrator 26.0.3. Ever since the last big update for Mac I've been having a lot of problems in Illustrator. Please help!

Brush pressure sensitivity unavailable - Huion HS611 (MacOS Monterey 12.2.1)
Option to use the calligraphy brush with pressure sensitivity appears to be greyed out, but all drivers are correctly installed and it works perfectly with Photoshop. Have tried most of the recommendations from the adobe forum but the issue persists.

Moving a path to an invisible group still enables me to edit with Blob Brush
I was painting a path with the Blob brush, then I decided to paint a new path on top of the other one and I didn't want to join with the original, so I moved the original to an invisible group and proceeded to paint the new path. For my surprise the original in the invisible group joined with the new path, I don't see this like a feature.

Shape anomalies when creating pattern brushes
When I create a pattern brush using a series of pictures, other duplicated shapes (anomalies) would appear on top of the images when the new custom brush is applied to an object. In some cases it is duplicated, offset lines or flopped shapes that appear as additional objects...
ungrouping all objects before making it a brush seems to resolve the problem...

Brush Pressure isn’t available
Hi good night!
I'm trying to do a drawing job by illustrator using my graphics tablet, but when changing the settings to modify the brush the pressure option that accompanies what I draw on the graphics tablet I can't choose the option because it appears but I can't select, the only available options are the '' fixed '' and '' Random '' options. PLEASE SOLVE THIS SOON, I NEED TO WORK.1 vote -
Brush touch calligraphy broken
The calligraphy brush when I go to draw is glitching and failing to work.

Stroke not aligned with Fill
Stroke is not aligned with Fill
When Drawing, the stroke is not rendered on the actual place where it's placed and not properly aligned with Fill1 voteIt looks like your path using a brush applied to it, and it’s a loose and wobbling brush tip, not following the centerline. The fill knows nothing about the brush tip and strictly follows the vector path, unlike brush.
To solve the problem, you’d either have to use a different brush and make the path look wobbly at the object level with other means, like Roughen effect, or expand the appearance of the objects and fix the fill manually.

Custom Brush doesn’t get affected by color
I am not able to change the color for my custom brushes. Whenever I select a new color for the brush, the brush still paints black. I have opened and closed the program several times but nothing has worked. I have deleted and made new brushes, but I am still having the same problem.
1 voteThis happens if the colorization method for a brush is chosen to be just None.
Changing it to be Tints or any other form the dropdown in the brush’s options solves the problem.
