Is Your Vector Work Too Clean? Out-of-the-box Adobe Illustrator pretty much just let's you create work with super-sanitized perfectly clean lines. But what about when you need your work to look like it was created with a cheap, ink pen, that's been melted with a lighter and ran over by a steam roller? Then you have two options: Option A. Grab a bunch of old inky, grimy materials and start experimenting with ink textures, scanning them, cleaning them up in Photoshop, converting them into vectors, and making them into Illustrator brushes (and hoping they look right).
