Description Tutorial: How to Make Your Own Photoshop Brush.
The Basics of Brush Creation


My first tutorial. And I'm not from English-speaking country. Which means I'm sorry for my mistakes. Just ignore them, please.

I love creating brushes and I've already made more than 100 sets. I give them away for free on the deviantart, so feel free to look at my gallery.
This tutorial is to help beginners in brush making. I tried to write it as simple as possible.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to let me know.

Thank you!
CS5 allows to create 2500x2500 brush. PS 7.0 as far as I remember only 1000x1000.

yeah, it took me half an hour to find out! I wanted to make some really big brushes and for some reason I couldn't. It was also hard to find an explanation online, til I stumbled about a tutorial that mentioned the size limits

Lileya In reply to tina1138 [2011-07-04 15:18:57 +0000 UTC]

It's simple layer blending. I choose outer or inner glow and play with opacity, spread, size and etc.
