Is there a brush in AI that can make a graphic look more hand drawn?

hello,
I'm wondering if you can elaborate on hand drawn? do you mean so it looks like a pencil drawing or like a comic inking?
There are filters in Photoshop and AI that can do a ok job of making images look like traditional media. but If you want to do artwork in AI that looks more hand done then I would suggest you invest in a WACOM tablet.

Im more looking for an effect or brush that can give me that hand drawn look from an existing vector. I don't want to have to redraw the entire artwork.

If you're running AI-CS2+ Live Trace may be a bit of help. It's a very limited tool but it sounds like it's in the direction of what you want. Remember-LiveTrace>LivePaint>Expand.

There are brushes standard with illustrator that look hand drawn just go into the brush libraries i think the variations of the ink brushes look pretty hand drawn but require some experimentation there is also some charcoal looking ones as well. live trace works pretty well if you are using an existing image though.
