As I was writing CorelDRAW X6 Unleashed, there were some lessons that weren’t very fun to write as it was a dry subject. Then there was the lesson on Artistic Media Brushes that can do some amazingly creative things.

While brushes are so exciting, I also think they are underutilized by many users. My only guess is that most users aren’t aware of all the cool things they do can with brushes. Of course the brushes supplied with CorelDRAW aren’t the most exciting either.

Did you know we have a bunch of free video tutorials showing you how to use brushes? I’ll provide links to a few of them below so you can learn about them.

• Introduction to the Secrets of Brushes in CorelDRAW
• What Are Brushes in CorelDRAW?
• The CorelDRAW Brushes Property Bar and Docker
• Installing Brushes in CorelDRAW

Hopefully those videos got you excited about what you can do with brushes. It would probably be a good idea to give you some cool sample brushes so you can play a bit and see how exciting they can be. On the CorelDRAW Brush Packs product page, you can get ten sample brushes that work in CorelDRAW X3-X6 and you will find over four hours of free video tutorials (including those listed above). Once you realize how exciting brushes can be, I bet you’ll use them in a lot more projects!
