In this video we are going to be taking a look a the blob brush tool and the eraser

tool. Now the blob brush tool allows us to draw similar to the brush tool by
drawing freehand strokes.

Tho unlike the brush tool, the blob tool does not work along a vector path, the
blob tool essentially creates and builds vector shapes.

**FYI**
In this video tutorial I will be using Adobe Illustrator CC for mac. Almost all of
the principles demonstrated and covered will apply to future and previous versions.
Some differences may apply if you are using a previous or future version.

Topics Covered:

- Blob Brush Tool 00:01:45

- Eraser Tool 00:04:23
- Combination 00:05:40
