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.
