GETTING STARTED GUIDE
GETTING STARTED
Welcome to our Getting Started Guide for our Active Learning in Adobe Illustrator. We have close to 150 Step by Step Tutorials, so we want to point you in the right direction.
FREE BEGINNER GUIDE
If you are brand new to the website, I would encourage you to go through our Free Beginner Guide to Adobe Illustrator. It would be a great start if you are looking to follow along to tutorials with resources.
ACTIVE LEARNING
So this is a little awkward. I have been posting New Step by Step Tutorials for the last year. Below are the instructions to follow along to our NEW Tutorials, Challenges + Workflows.
Installing 200+ Brushes
You can install them all in less than 5 minutes if we add them in your Brush Libraries as a User Defined. There are 17 Brush Libraries with 200+ Brushes in are Illustrator Brushes. The goal is to install them and save them as a User Default. The User Default process will save time hunting for the files in the folder. Below the video, I also show the Brush Library Pop Up Method is for Quick Use. Our “Other Library” method does not require any install of our Brushes.
ILLUSTRATOR BRUSHES
In the next 5 minutes, you can install all of your brushes. Open Illustrator or the Folder (Open All) All of the Brush Libraries will Appear. Follow along to the saving instructions.
OPEN LIBRARIES
We are going to cover the easiest way of Installing your Brush Libraries. Open Adobe Illustrator. File – Open. Locate the Brushes Folder. Pick all of the Brush Libraries. Click on your Brushes Panel. Save Brush Library.

Once the Brush Panel is Open. You will see all of your Brushes. Click on the upper right hand corner for the Brush Menu. Scroll Down to Save Brush Library. Click Save in the Default Area for Adobe. Your Brushes will now appear in User Defaults.
