Creating Brushes

This lesson we learnt how to make our own brushes in photoshop.

First, we had to choose an image to work with, in my case I chose the butterfly you see above.  Then I had to use the selection tool to select the area around the butterfly. Because my image was too big, I had to size it down. But, once I'd done that I could go to Edit and Define Brush Preset and name it Butterfly Brush. Then, I went to the brush tool and selected my new brush from the pull down menu. Once that was done I could adjust the spacing, shape dynamics, size jitter and angle jitter for my brush, plus alter the hue jitter. Here is my finished result:

I also created a brush from Building Blocks:

And one final brush using an image of my favourite Fate/Stay Night character:
