This image was made by blending two rectangles along a spiral path. I don't think this can be done with an art brush.
I see 4 levels of spiral with fab depth and a flat background.
Super.
Gary, could you provice your blend construction.
If I see how you did what you did, I will have an Art Brush go.

Acorn - This would produce even circles that taper. I reduced the tonal range on your fill to minimize the amount distortion.
On my image I have blended two linear filled rectangles so the spiral also comes forward.
It is possible to combine two or more linear fills to create a brush that goes both ways. I have used two gradient fills with the Repeating Till fill option.
Things are looking up ;)
Gary, if nothing, i am getting better at seeing these. This last one is a doozie!Quote:

I've also learned over the 25 years I have spent making these images that often less depth is better than extremes of depth.
Re the image in post #5: What is the little object in the upper left?
Those are the two linear fills I used to make the art brush. I just added them so you can see what they look like in terms of the depth for the stereogram.Quote:

The two rectangles also appear on the depth image.
Where there's a will, there's a wake. Or way. Or something.
We were discussing how to make an art brush do two things at once, create a rounded spiral shape, and to give the shape a gradation from light to dark. Something I achieved with my first image using a blend of two gradient shapes.
Here is what I came up with.
Create two brushes, one for the shape, and one for the gradation. Put the gradation object on top of the shape and apply a transparency to the gradation.
In this example I also created a bush indented and a brush raised to create what is more like a transparent tube.
How do you create a raised brush or indented?

The two gradient fill's Fill Tiling options have been set to Repeating. And I applied a Profile 1 profile to smooth out the fill.
Very impressive Gary.
