yeah honestly I cant really say what I can use to brushes to create, the possiblities are endless. Weather it be using a brush for one of my webdesign layouts or to make some cool backgrounds for my 3d renders, like i said the possiblities are endless, I do have several ps books most are more like learning the program, many dont really cover "we going to use brushes to create this" type advice.

I do have 2 books they dont cover what i want to do with brushes but they have been good with other things Down and dirty photoshop tricks and classic effects. But deffentaly i want to learn to do some abstract stuff I got it on my list to learn. Your right photoshop is a big program, but I found it has a pretty big learning curve atleast for me. Just the brush thing has had me stumped for a while and I wasn't ready to give up and say oh this is out my league.

But I'm one of those people that always wanting to learn more so what ever i can take away from here im sure i will use somewhere done the line
