    Thanks for the tutorial, Larry. How you create your track shape is clear enough, but there is no brush...

    When I use your shape to create a brush I get the same error I did earlier with handrawn's example. I tried Acorn's suggestion of using rectangles rather than lines, though, and that seems to have worked : )

    I could not make a brush because the image is too large so I will remake a smaller one so I can create a brush.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    OK, Andy I remade this so I could make a brush, save the brush somewhere you can find it, for me I usually use the desktop although I do have a special folder for xar brushes.
























    i call brushesI do not know how you intend to use it so I made an art brush but if you need a scatter brush let me know, I hope this is satisfactory although I am not thrilled.

    Here's the way I'd go about it using an Art Brush:
