Hello everybody, I decided to make a tutorial about how to make your own brush in photoshop. If you are wondering I am using Photoshop CS4 as every photoshop fan out there. In these tutorials I am presenting my own way of doing things in Photoshop, I am trying to say that there are multiple ways to do the same thing.
Creating your brushes
The main idea of making a brush is very simple, you just go to the main menu and click Edit->Define Brush Preset (it is easier to have a black and white image when you do this). If you happen to have a colored image for a clear brush you should so it like this: click in the main menu on Image -> Adjustment -> Threshold (pick the level that you consider to be more appropriate to what you want to obtain) then do the same thing Edit->Define Brush Preset. Making your brushes is as simple as that.
So here are the images I used in the video tutorial so you can try it first time on them for a clear image of how things are suppose to look:
House image (136.5 KiB, 226 hits)
Hearts image (29.5 KiB, 187 hits)
In the next video I’m going to show you how to organize your brushes because that is a very important thing when you will work on serious manipulations, you need to be organized.
And here is the video, enjoy:
how come sometimes my Define Brush Preset is not available for me to click on?
