My first tutorial
How to create your own natural-media brushes for Photoshop, from making the inksplats, brushstrokes, chalk and charcoal textures with messy stuff on paper, bringing them into photoshop and then turning them into a PS brush set.
Big, big thanks to my editor for making sense of it along the way

hey, sorry for the late reply, I haven't been on dA too much. You've probably found the answer by now but just in case you haven't, this process will save a .abr file in your
C:/Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop/Presets/Brushes
You just upload that abr file to the appropriate category.

how do I go about posting a brush pack here? (I use ps 3)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
when you save your brush pack it will create a .abr file in your PS folder.
It should be something like C:/ProgramFiles/Adobe/Photoshop/Presets/Brushes
upload the .abr file to dA in the right category and provide a sample jpg to be used as the thumbnail.
