What steps create a Pattern Brush in Illustrator?

• A. Open the Brushes Panel. Select the Options Button. Choose "New Brush". Choose "Pattern Brush" and adjust the settings as appropriate.
• B. Use the Swatches panel to create a pattern brush
• C. Paint with The Brush Tool to automatically create a pattern brush
• D. Use the Symbols panel to create a brush

Answer: (A)

Creating a Pattern Brush in Illustrator starts in the Brushes panel. Open that panel, click the Options button, choose New Brush, then select Pattern Brush and define it with the settings you want (how the pattern tile repeats, the end caps or sides, colorization, and naming). Once you confirm, the new brush becomes available and you can apply it to a path to see the pattern repeat along the stroke. The other approaches don’t create a brush: using Swatches only makes a pattern swatch, not a brush; painting with the Brush Tool doesn’t generate a brush definition; and the Symbols panel is for symbol instances, not brush creation.
