Illustrator How-To: Drawing with Naturalistic Pen, Ink & Wash It's easy to create spontaneous painterly and calligraphic marks in Adobe Illustrator-and perhaps with more flexibility than in any other digital medium, thanks to Illustrator's vector-based strokes. Sharon Steuer drew this sketch of Paris' Place des Vosges using a pressure-sensitive Wacom tablet and two different Illustrator brushes. She customized a brush for the thin, dark strokes, and used one of Illustrator's built-in brushes for the underlying gray washes. When you use a pressure-sensitive, pen-like stylus and tablet to create highly variable, responsive strokes, you can edit those strokes as paths, or experiment by applying different brushes to the existing paths. The final drawing Setting up a template You can start drawing on a blank Illustrator artboard, but if you want to use a sketch, scanned photo, or digital camera photo as a reference, set up the image as a non-printing template layer.
