Space Fill provides endless possibilities for patternwork that doesn't conflict with the creative process. The tools also support real-time decision-making and iterations. #astutegraphics

✨ One of those little tools that makes a huge difference.

Using the Astute Graphics Extend Path tool, I was able to continue an imperfect path without having to eyeball it or redraw everything from scratch. 🙌

AG Splatter is an Astute Graphics live effect that adds randomly-generated splatter or spatter type objects along paths!

The panel interface allows adjustment of many parameters, such as the splatters’ shape, angle, offset, and more. 🤠

Direct Select tool + Anchor Point tool = ✨InkScribe✨

InkScribe is similar to the native Pen tool, but with additional capabilities.

InkScribe can draw paths & edit them, adjusting path segments, moving handls & points, without switching to another tool.

Had an email from #AstuteGraphics about my account; had the full suite until they went to subscription and they were good plugins so I thought I would check the price - $3,000. I nearly plotzed…not sure what the team is thinking with this pricing structure.

Made brushes in Illustrator?

We've made this wave form, but when you take it around a corner it can start to misbehave. With Reprofile, we can create a “reprofile” which can be scultped along any vector path with control over:
🔥Corners
🔥Height
🔥Repeats
