New Technique: Making Brushes, and Making Texture for Brushes

 New Technique: How to make a brush.

According to Bro Burr, the preset brushes in Photoshop SUCCCKK. So the first thign we are doing period is making all our own brushes.


New Technique: How to make texture for brushes.

• Take a picture or create an image in a 10x10 inch square, 
• Turn the image into grayscale image, 
• Merge down to one layer.
• Edit ->Define Pattern. Name it something relevant.
• Note: Patterns slow down Photoshop a LOT!  Solution - Assign the pattern to a brush, which will save the pattern (ie: Gesso brush), then delete the pattern. The brush will keep the pattern but will not slow down Photoshop.
  

Homework: Create 6 different panels that will be useful for my brushes using that technique.

Texture Pic I took in class to turn into an interesting texture.
