Step 1. Start by creating the type you want to stroke with a brush. Set your fill and stroke colors, and make sure the stroke chip is active in the toolbox. Click the selection tool in the toolbox, and go to Type > Create Outlines to make the text into a group of individual objects. The text will no longer be editable with the text tool.
I decided to fill this text with the jaguar pattern from the Nature_Animal Skins pattern.
Step 2. Now open the brush palette and choose a brush to edge the type. This is one of the paintbrushes from the Artistic_Paintbrush brush sets in the Presets > Brushes folder. It was too wide so I changed the stroke width to 0.50 in the Stroke palette. The font is Cooper Black.
