This is the beginnings of a library of Industrial Design graphic styles, brush presets, swatches, and symbols for your convenience in Adobe Illustrator sketching and rendering.
I’m hoping to expand this with time for my own use, so I figured I’d make them available to the public. It’s just a start, but hopefully it will be more useful as I expand. If you come up with any good ones, send them over to me and I’ll add them into the library. Enjoy!

I was just wondering where/how can I get the “ballpoint” and “sharpie” brushes for Illustrator (and/or Photoshop)?
Hi Kyle:
Sorry for the delayed response, I’ve been in the process of moving across the country over the last ten days or so. It’s a long way from Boston to LA!
This file has Illustrator brushes: http://adam.theoherns.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/adam_seed.zip
This file has Photoshop brushes: http://adam.theoherns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/SketchBox_Presets_090729.tpl.zip
There’s nothing magical about these brushes; they’re pretty easy to reproduce yourself if you want to tweak them. Enjoy!

Glad to help. I’d love to see what you’re doing with them! Also let me know if you ever have any tutorials you’d like to see. I know AI pretty darned well, but sometimes I just don’t know what to write about!
Thanks heaps for the tutorials and libraries. They’re awesome!!!
