Helen, Your videos are gold! You help me so much with these! You're such a great teacher! I like the most that you don't put overwhelming, fancy pictures in your tutorials. So I can easily follow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. That's exactly what I need right now. Other tutorials are just to much and confusing. I worked with cs6 years ago and I decided to learn it again - fundamental. Great value. Thank you Helen!!! (And it works well for cs6 aswell.)
Thanks so much for this tutorial. This is yet another example of how powerful that distort and transform transform feature is. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think by choosing stretch to fit stroke length in the brush options panel you can make the wreath at any size and it will maintain its proportions. I have no idea why clicking on a path with the pen tool reverses the order; I'll just commit that to memory. I will definitely be using this for one of my projects.
+Morgan Field Great news Morgan. Yes, stretch to fit stroke length works best for this type of brush in terms of ensuring that it sizes with the stroke. That reverse path thing is really handy to know - I found another use for it the other day. I guess too what is important is that paths have direction and that direction is important in some situations.

Hi, Helen, thank you for sharing your knowledge with public, i want to appreciate for that and your explanation also very help full for beginners thank you ...................keep going ........................................ if you possible share new tutorial
Thank you Helen for sharing this video! This was very helpful! I was only needing to figure out how to draw leaves but with all the other information you showed in this video, I can definitely use this info thank you so much! Will look out for more tutorials :) New subby!
Hi wanted to know if there is a way after u create your art - that you can resize to smaller objects. when i shrink to a desired size i loose portions of the original object ?????
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I was able to create the leaves as an art brush, but once I tried to apply it to the wreath, it leaves a fill in the middle of the circle (so that the middle of the circle is black with leaves on the outside of the circle). Do you happen to have any idea why? I can't seem to figure out what step I missed.
+Rana Yamak Hey Rana, if you select your shape and then set its Fill to No Fill you will remove the fill in the shape. It's just that shapes with art brushes added to them shouldn't have any fill. If you do this, the wreath should work just fine. Let me know if this doesn't work.
+Ethherea Have you checked to make sure your shape does not have a fill color? If it doesn't and if this is a problem I need to help you with, can you send me your .ai file so I can see the problem for myself? Email it to helen (at) helenbradley (dot) com and just remind me of the problem.
Hey, thanks for the tutorial. I think I am doing something wrong. When I add the brush my circle turns black and I can only see the leaves on the outside. Can you help me?
You have used something in your design (possibly a gradient?) that Illustrator won't let you use in a brush. Try selecting your shape and choose Object > Expand or Object > Expand Appearance and then try again. Let me know if you still have problems.
+Mars Maagad I would only convert the final to paths if I actually needed to have editable paths. You can convert the result to paths by selecting the shape and choose Object > Expand (or Expand Appearance) - whichever is enabled).
Helen - Thanks for the great tutorial. Will please tell me how, in the transform dialogue box, to set pixels (px) as my preferred movement increments instead of inches (in).
You can change units of measure using the Preferences panel (Edit > Preferences > Units on a PC and Illustrator > Preferences > Units 10 pxon a Mac) but this changes preferences for everything. If you only want to do it for a single setting, then type, say: 10 px and Illustrator will convert it to the equivalent of 10 px in your current units.
Thanks, I knew I could do it in the preferences, and wound up doing exactly that, but I seemed to remember being able to do it, as you said, for just a single example,...just couldn't figure it out. Thanks again, keep the vids coming !
Hi, I'm having trouble in flip brush at 10:24 Can you explain the steps by writing here, my english is not fluent, so little trouble understanding it. Or is there a button I need to press?
Oh, I just realized that at both ends of the line there are some points because I cut it using the shape builder tool, it makes the way your tutorial are not working, it's looking for notes that are important enough to me either. Thank you in advance
Quick question. I tried this this method but am somehow getting a fill inside the wreath after I apply the brush to the half circles. What am I doing wrong?
Anytime you use a pattern brush on a line that is not straight you will get some distortion of the shapes - in this case the leaves. It's a side effect of the process of bending the shapes around a curve. If you don't want to have distortion, you will need to approach the solution a different way. Right now I am thinking you'd need to use the Distort and Transform effect as that wouldn't distort the shape as it moves and resizes it.

me too i have the same problem, i don't know whats happening i did exactly what you said :(
Hey, thanks for the tutorial. I think I am doing something wrong. When I add the brush my circle turns black and I can only see the leaves on the outside. Can you help me?
Great question Karisa! You need to select your circle and remove its fill - it is the black fill that is causing the black leaves to be hidden!
My drag and drop on brushes doesn't work :( It says illustrationcontains element that can' t be added to brush.
You have used something in your design (possibly a gradient?) that Illustrator won't let you use in a brush. Try selecting your shape and choose Object > Expand or Object > Expand Appearance and then try again. Let me know if you still have problems.
Thank You so much...I want to treat sometime...

Can you explain the steps by writing here, my english is not fluent, so little trouble understanding it. Or is there a button I need to press?
Oh, I just realized that at both ends of the line there are some points because I cut it using the shape builder tool, it makes the way your tutorial are not working, it's looking for notes that are important enough to me either.

when you cut the leaf, how did you remove the pen tool? When I remove the pen tool the leaf goes back to its original shape
Glad you got it to work.

Quick question. I tried this this method but am somehow getting a fill inside the wreath after I apply the brush to the half circles. What am I doing wrong?
Do you have a fill on the half circle shapes? You shouldn't have one.. just a stroke. Let me know how how you go?
The stem was the problem. Thank you very much!!
figured it out
Yeah! Great to hear.
not sure why, but my leaves get distorted once in a wreath shape
can you please advice?
Anytime you use a pattern brush on a line that is not straight you will get some distortion of the shapes - in this case the leaves. It's a side effect of the process of bending the shapes around a curve. If you don't want to have distortion, you will need to approach the solution a different way. Right now I am thinking you'd need to use the Distort and Transform effect as that wouldn't distort the shape as it moves and resizes it.
