Re: Does anyone know how to add a certain brush color only to the text in illustrator

If the text is on its own layer.... rasterize the text layer , then either Alt + click the text layer icon to select the text or lock the layer by clicking the lock transparent pixel icon on the layers pallete - you can still edit the text but will not affect anything outside the text.

If the text is merged with the image, you'll have to isolate the text on its own layer or select it using any of the selection tools....

hope this helps.
