How to Make your own brushes

[Chaos]

I got bored so I decided to make a tut on this:

Ok, so you want to learn how to make your own brushes? Well I'll teach you how.

1. Make a new canvas, I made mine 200x200.

2. First make a new layer.

3. Now make a some kind of graphic in that layer, here's what I Made

4. Now go to your tool box and click on the magic stick. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v170/Chaos_Unlimited/magicstick.gif

5. Now right click on the image that you want to make a brush and go to load selection

6. Now the image should all be selected. Now go to Edit>Define Brush. Name it the brush what you want it to be called.

7. Click on the brush icon in your toolbar and bring up its menu and click on this the little circle icon:

8. Now find "Preset Manager" and it should bring up this menu:

9. Now click on save set, and thats pretty much it. If you make more than one brush you can save that whole group as a set.

Heres my brush I made:

I just made that brush for an example for the tutorial but sure...

[gsv]

I'd also be interested in seeing a piece of "material" made using the brush :-P

Can you please show me a piece of work with this brush specifically just so I can see the actual use of brushing (I have never really brushed persay) ;)? Thanks.

Lol it was just an example guys

[Atem]

Seems very basic, but it's a good to start. A better size for brushes could also be 400X400 or so.
Nice tut.

[CK]

chaos can i use that brush just to make a example of what a gfxer could do with it

[Sharingan]

omg what the heck would you use that brush for. man i want to see the brushes "you make" , you used against nori i want to see how you made those please.

[Swift]

Pleasedon't tell me you're accusing Chaos of using downloaded brushes?

[Chaos]

omg what the heck would you use that brush for. man i want to see the brushes "you make" , you used against nori i want to see how you made those please.
I used a mixture of the default brushes.

^This is all you need.

And ck, once I get my host back up I'll upload it for you guys

[Sharingan]

cool. man one feature i dont get is the noise one. it come out to dotty is there way i can reduce the noise so like its on the edge of a certain area of my brush

[Chaos]

You dont have to use every effect on the brush pallete. Plus, I usually dont use noise.

[Sharingan]

no for grunge

[CK]

i just wanna use it but im not gonna use it on any of my work

[Al3x]

Nice easy tut. Although that brush doesn't look too good.

[Nori]

It was an only example. You are supposed to make your own cut out shape.

[Al3x]

Ok, he could have used a better shape though.

[Sharingan]

yeh i agree a better style indeed

[Al3x]

I don't get what you said, re-phrase Omar.

[Sharingan]

i agree a better shape was needed

[CK]

it was a freaking example go make your own shape

[Al3x]

Who you getting cheeky with, best not be me.

[CK]

i agree a better shape was needed
He comments to everything

[Al3x]

Yes he does, but he makes a good point.

[Sharingan]

He comments to everything
so do u ... no one says anything. got a prob sort it out, no need to change the subject clearly they dont want to here your blabber. post something relevent to the topic

[Swift]

Ck has the right argument here. That was an example. Thus tutorial was meant to inform people on how they can save brushes, not how to make a certain brushes. So really the shape was irrelevant.

[Sharingan]

dnt look at me. i was backing up al3xs idea

[Swift]

I'm not taking sides here, just trying to prevent an argument. Really all the opinions were valid, just try to stay on topic and discuss this elsewhere.

[Al3x]

You best not do because Brits is well harder than fat Americans. If yur not fat then your unique, lol. Just saying.

[Darksage]

Okay Okay yada yada yada this is going on a little too long.

Nice tut on how to save brushes it'll be useful to beginners and the sort.

CLOSED.
