Description better things to come soon! I just whipped this up as a start to tutorials I want to start making. Plus, some people were interested in the general making of brushes.. so... here this is.. it's sloppy, yes.. I did it in 15 minutes .. it might be helpful to soemone..

I use adobe photoshop 7 .. so things might be different if you're running another version..

This is a start to what will hopefully be a few detailed tutorials on adjusting, blending and using brushes. Right now I must submit this simple thing and go to sleep!

Thanks for the help, really!
I also head that recent (not too old, either) Photoshop versions support sorta "dynamic" brushed: i.e. shaped that, more or less, randomly change a bit every time you brush them on the layer (for example... a lead with slightly different borders, transparencies and/or orientations each time you click to brush it).... do you know how to realize such brushes?

This is good, I didn't know that about adjusting the levels. Thanks!

asunder In reply to dwagonfry [2005-08-07 17:54:37 +0000 UTC]

yep.. it's very important to adjust the levels and contrast.. sometimes it's necessary to go back and erase or paint things in to clean up edges and such
