    Hi everyone!
    I’m tryng to draw a line with the brush tool with rectangolar or square section.
    I entered the brush properties but I’m able to get only circular or elliptical section.
    May anyone help me?

    Thanks! Debbie.

    Make your first brush point, hold shift and make your second point, it will connect the 2 points.

    Vince thanks for your reply.

    My English is not that good! I meant: how can I have the section of the brush “square”. Usually it’s circular.

    Can you still help me?

    Debbie!

    Well, I don’t think you can actually make a square tip, just a flat thin one by changing the settings in the brush palette…

    May I ask why you need that particular tip?

    You may be able to achieve the same effect with a mask, stroke, or just a simple expression.

    Vince, thanks for your reply!

    With the pen tool it is very easy to create curves thanks to “bezier”.
    How can I do the same when using the brush?

    Thanks! Debbie!
