Oh that's what i was looking, thank you very much for your help

Hi everyone, i'm a graphic design student i'm using AD almost every day for my vector graphic needs but recently i'm starting to practice on some logos and i really don't know how i'm suppose to approach certain drawing like the one posted below. Do you guys know to make effects like the one around the phoenix body (the purplish), i'm trying with brushes but it's the first time i'm using those. if you have any tutorials about something like that would be awesome.
