  Use the Brush Tool on a Shape Layer?

  Posted by Brent Taylor on April 10, 2014 at 4:18 pm

  The Brush tool is confusing me.

  I get that it has to be used in a solid layer, and that it then has its own controls in there, etc.

  All I WANT to do is draw a path on a shape layer freehand without going back into Illustrator. Is there a way to do that?

  There’s the pen tool, which lets me do that more or less by clicking constantly as I use it… but mechanically it’s not quite what I want. Sometimes I just want that freehand feel.

  Am I missing something? Seems like there should be a way, but darned if I can find it.
