Is there a way that I can make brushes for use in Photoshop? Would there happen to be a tutorial or some sort that can actually let me achieve this?

I'm trying to make some brushed that I can create myself and save as my own brushes.

How can I do this?

Thanks,

jbWStar

Make a selection. Then, "create brush" with the selection;)

I never intended to make art.

There should be an entire explanation of how to make brushes in the help files ort user manual of whatever that installs with Photoshop. For some reason, when it comes to Photoshop people rarely read those. I guess because the software has been around so long.

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.

I think there is an explination in help. What version you using? Did you have any luck making your brush?

I use version 8. I've been so fond of how other artists makes their own brushes and utilizes them as their own set.

I think I got the hang of it. I think what I did was 'save' myself a brush pattern, select the item that I want to make the brush out of [e. g.: a lip texture I made for V3], select 'Define brush' in the 'Edit' menu, name it and it's saved.

What I didn't know of is that you have to save your own brush you make. What I did originally was that I defined the brush, and put it in one of the presets. That's when I was referring to the online help menu.

However, I think I did alright.

The reason I made this post was: I just wanted some information on how to make brushes of my own creations. Since I'm using Poser and making a texture for V3, I've been quite comfortable with Corel PhotoPaint 11 for a while, that it's nearly impossible for me to get the feel with PhotoShop. I cannot say that I have no expertise in using it [the basics], it just some of the complex uses of it.

Sometimes I feel like a nut.

I think I got the hang of it. I saved myself a brush preset and define the brush I made -- whatever that is.

Thanks for the replies. They're most helpful.

I welcome to more input.

don't forget to take all the brushes you've made and create a "brush set" so you don't lose them. remember, if that "can't" be reloaded, they "can" be lost! :) retrocity
