How to create custom colored brush

[Fatih19]

So, I want to make a custom brush here. Is there no way to keep the color from the original image?

To create a custom preset brush stroke from scratch:

On the Brushes panel, click the panel preferences icon and then select:

• New Solid Brush—creates a basic, solid vector stroke.
• New Textured Intensity Brush—creates a brush stroke based on the opacity values of a raster image. In the pop-up dialog, navigate to and select a file, and click Open.
• New Textured Image Brush—creates a brush stroke based on the color values of a raster image. In the pop-up dialog, navigate to and select a file, and click Open.

The new brush is added to the selected category using default settings.

Is there a way to keep it vector and not raster?

I don't see how you could do this without creating the sleeve as a brush and the hand/sleeve-end as a separate object.

I think you are correct.

AFAIK you can even on the vector side only use an image as a brush sample. - Further in order to keep colors it would here have probably to be like those other chain and rope brushes ...

Wait, is it still vector? 

[v_kyr]

How can it be full vector if a PNG raster file is used as it's foundation here?

Well then, I think I need to just use high resolution. I still want those sweet pure vector brushes though.

It's probably your best way here ...

But, you can make offset to the brush so that only the sleeve will be stretched.

Yes you can finetune it, the above was just a plain take over in order to show that you get then nodes for such a brush on the vector side.

This is really helpful to make animation without animation program.

Maybe for animated gifs LOL.
