make your own Brushes

Farre · 08-05-2006, 05:23 PM

damn I hate that some people ask about downloading brushes do yourself, here is a tutorial how to do your grunge brushes :>.

NOTE: All the brushes will turn black and white when defined

1.Find a piece or paper or anything you can scan or take a picture of that a has grungy

just got it from Google

2.Create a new document with a Transparent Background at size 500x500

3.Copy and Paste the image into the file

4.Select any select tools

5.Click and Drag the grunge part

6.Layer>New>Layer via Cut (Shift+Ctrl+J)

7.Deselect (Ctrl+D)

9.Delete the last layer that isnt the grunge part you cutted

10.Image>Adjustments>Levels (Ctrl+L)

11.Select the eyedropper tool in the Levels Window

12.Select the LIGHTEST color on the image

13.The level window should look like that, IF IT DOESNT,DONT WORRY... IT NEVER WILL BUT
AS LONG AS IT LOOKS LIKE A GRUNGE BRUSH

14.Select the Eraser Tool

15.Erase the sides so it doesnt look jagged

16.Edit>Define Brush

17.Name and Press Ok

Make a .abr File

1.Edit>Preset Manager

2.Pick your Brush(es); when selecting more than one, Press and Hold Shift

3.Click Save

I hope it workd out well, my bro did not send the links to the images sorry about that but I just hope it works anyways.
