    I get a faint outline on the edges of the stroke when the brush strokes overlap each other e.g. if I'm drawing an ampersand. The brush is set to stroke, with fill set to none. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks for the great tutorial!

    Is there a way to have Illustrator open with the brush library that we want, instead of the default set that I personally never use?
    It's a pain in the ass having to close the default brush library and open the brush library that I want every time I use the program.

      Never mind I figured it was because my object was set with gradient colour of both black colours, just set the fill colour to a solid colour and you're good to go! Just leaving this here for anyone having the same problem. :D
