the free graphics given here are more sophisticated than the tilde trick, have a closer look…
would probably be possible to create a script to make the steps sequential ensuring the same step and repeat for a precise geometrical drawing… !!ILSHSC
Nothing special in this pack.
Any one can do this in one go.
But I think it really helps beginners, to be more creative.
Nice work!
But why the GPL? Creative Commons would be more usefull.
realmente excelente….
Hey Petroide, Rob was just remarking on how good the vector art is and that he is grateful. Incidentally he’s a graphic designer, and probably not an ‘ashole’. Though maybe you know him better than I do…
Soy de Mexico, Diseñador Grafico y es excelente los archivos de vectores. Se agradece de verdad!!!
Scuze me? What’s this doing here? You realize anyone can do this by just holding down the ` key.
i've been looking for lines and textures so i could make a paper bill money for my wedding ... as our souvenirs.. putting our faces in that paper bill. your lines are goon enough for the layout. thanks.
Great job very usefull
Oh wow! The patterns looks really amazing. Good job, I love them.
There’s an easy way to achieve this affect in adobe illustrator.
While using your line tool, hold down the Tilde key "~" while moving the mouse around. Works well with the curve line tool.
Here’s a tutorial if this sounds confusing

Hi Arsen and all,
Yes BJMRamage has it pretty close to correct, I’ll just give at bit more info.
Make a curved or squiggly line with the pen tool, make another one a bit further away. Highlight both of them and go to object, blend, blend options, change options to steps, enter 20 or whatever number.
Then go back to object, blend, click blend or use keyboard short ctrl + alt + b. Then your done… you can change the colours of each line.
Arsen:
Using the line and Blend tool. squiggle two lines and then blend each with a step setting…presto! you have a nice looking graphic. change the colors of each line and bam! now in blending colors…then simply expand these when needed.
great job, but how did you done those things? ..brush?pentool??
thx
great work!
