I was playing around with some tools in Illustrator CS3 today, and found myself making some fun & interesting brush sets. So, naturally I decided to keep making more and offer them for download here!

The set comes with 10 unique brushes, each one ready for color and your creative ideas. Use the spiral tool, use the brush tool, set the fill to blank, and the stroke to any color you like. Load my brush set and start playing around!

Here’s a quick preview:

Installation:

1. Download the brush set after the jump
2. Unzip the .ai file
3. Browse to your Illustrator Presets/Brushes folder
4. Copy Orkron_brush-set-01.ai to this folder
5. Reload Illustrator if already open
6. Click Window->Brush Libraries->Orkron_brush-set-01
7. Enjoy!
