Merge Vector Brush Art in Adobe Fresco and Send to Adobe Illustrator

Using the vector brush in Adobe Fresco allows you to create art that can be scaled to any size. Learn tips for merging brushstrokes and coloring using reference layers and the Fill bucket in Fresco. Then watch my process for sending the art to Adobe Illustrator and organizing the motif using groups, and the Simplify feature to prepare it for use in a repeating pattern.

Thank you so much!! I was so lost and you solved my problem. I am checking your content on illustrator :)

[@LauraCoyle]

Glad I could help!

My pleasure

This is fantastic, thank you so much Laura! I love drawing my illustrations and pattern motifs in Fresco and have been looking for some tips on workflow between Fresco and Illustrator when preparing final artwork so it's clean and in general print ready. This video is super helpful. Would love to see more videos on Fresco + Illustrator. Also, out of curiosity: what brush settings did you use for drawing the flowers in Fresco? I love their organic look. Thank you 🌸

[@LauraCoyle]

Glad it was helpful! I used a jitter brush and changed the jitter setting to size 65% and space 17% and I make it not too pressure sensitive. It's great to hear you love the Fresco to Illustrator workflow - it's one of my favorites.

[@martakamilladesign]

@@LauraCoyle great, I will experiment with these settings. Thank you Laura

[@BettyMullins]

could you have made this same flower in illustrator?

[@LauraCoyle]

The blob brush in Illustrator does not have jitter, so for me, I found it easier to draw this using the vector brush in Fresco. It's more of a style/brush preference for me. I could have also drawn it in ink on paper and then image traced it in Illustrator.

I’m having trouble exporting to Adobe illustrator. I keep getting an error message saying export failed. I also noticed when I export to the Adobe illustrator app the resolution is scaled from 300ppi to 72ppi. Do you have any tips on fixing this problem? 😅

[@LauraCoyle]

I occasionally get that error too, and recently there has been an issue with Fresco documents that contain placed images failing to send. You can try removing images, or as a last resort, export as a PDF and remove the clipping masks inside. Also, you might be looking at the "raster effects" resolution setting, which is different than resolution. Whatever you send to Illustrator should arrive with the same dimensions as the original art. Here is a video that helps explain how Illustrator treats resolution: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHnPlJpvqKekrpo
