Converting brush work done in Photoshop into a vector in Illustrator

Community Beginner ,
Mar 26, 2018 Mar 26, 2018

Is it possible to take brushwork done in Photoshop, drop it into Illustrator, and then convert it into a vector?  I've tried doing just this, but the vector I created still had blurry edges.

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I brought your file into Illustrator and did a standard Live Trace and then Expanded the results.
See attached and see if this works for you? I just used the standard default settings and it looked good.

You could trace them in black and white.

You can also copy a brush strok and paste it as a smart object and than creat a brush !

So many ways to work with pixel and make it into vector!
