Hello fellow users!
I'm working on a greyscale vector illustration of a rhino. Everything is going well, except I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a 'wrinkle' effect. There needs to be varying degrees of wrinkles (some thicker than others). I would upload a pic of what I'm trying to describe, but I can't figure out how to upload an attachment on the new layout (I haven't been here in a while). Because it has to be designed in vector, it's proving quite a challenge for me. I've tried using the pen tool, as well as the artistic media, but nothing is getting it quite right. Any advice/tips would be highly appreciated.
Much Thanks :D
An image would help us help you. How detailed do the wrinkles need to be? Is this a realistic or cartoon rhino?
To insert an image you need to choose the rich formatting link when replying or creating a new post. Then use the Insert Media button.

You can create an artisitic media brush like examples below (Ex. 1), and control the thickness of these brushes on the menu tab.
I made a quick Corelephant brush with varying line thicknesses, then powerclipped the contents to create the first example (Ex. 2).
The third example is PhotoPaints own Elephant skin texture that comes pre-loaded. I would suggest using that texture and powerclipping the texture into the outlines.
