Description
Made upon request!I used my 'Solitude' image, which can be found here: [link]
F U L L V I E W, otherwise you won't get it.
I hope it helps; if it's confusing let me know and I'll redo!
Edit!
To achieve it on a black or dark background, set the top pic to 'multiply' and use white brushes (or a white silhouette). Instead of using a drop shadow on the brushes, use an outerglow.

Ok, I'm going to check again, and if I won't see it, I won't hesitate to ask for a screenshot.
I'd really like to learn this trick.

Tried. Working very fine, and I think it will be useful as hell. I can do a lot of cool stuff using different brushes - shapes as well.
Tried both - black and white. Both going great.

Now I have a new trick to play with, and it seemed damn usable with adding light and shadows or just a bit more sombre or magical mood.

That's a very neat trick! To do it on black you do the opposite (white on black bg) and set to multiply

Wheeee! I knew how to do this already, but it never occured to me to use brushes as the shape layer.

Did you always use silos? That's awesome too. Something I've always wanted to try is to try and make some sort of fog, or whispy edged brushes, and having a horse jumping out of them as the shape layer. But I've never actually done it. If you do, show me!

Did I always use whaaa?
And I like that fog/horse idea. I might just have to try something like that

-grins- I'm surprised. I actually knew how to do this before reading your tutorial
Anyways, it's still an excellent tutorial -nod- well done.

That's because you're a smart little thing that is a natural in Photoshop.

Wow, very cool! I might try this sometime.
I noticed you said something about having 1000s of brushes to load in adobe. Something I learned from [link] is to keep downloaded brushes separate from the adobe brushes folder. This makes the program load faster, and you can always use the load brushes function to get your downloaded brushes. 'Course, if you knew that, then well... I reminded you. xP

LOL, I always love reminders. I did know that, but I've been way too lazy to actually do it, so instead I've just put up with Adobe taking 4+ minutes to load fully. Maybe it's more than that...

Well then, this gives me an excuse to just leave my downloaded brushes wherever they are!

Great job as always! I knew how to do this before but, I kinda forgot so this helped refresh my memory. I am now inspired to try a newer technique! Thanks Carol! <3

You did a GREAT job on this! It's very clear and concise, and even the text you used for the descriptions shows excellent taste, hehe. The parts where you hand-wrote the instructions are cute too. Methinks we'll be seeing a lot more of this style coming up on NSHC too!
