Since I was asked how I make my brushes, I thought I would do a quick tutorial for it.

First I create an image that I would like to use as a brush.

Ornament, sticker, flowers ect.

I think about in which folder I will save it, when it becomes a set I create a folder in the material category in this case "Brush"

1. Material catalog

2. Create folder "Brush"

Then I register my brush material that I have drawn.

1. Edit

2. Register material

3rd picture

1. Now you have to name it in this case brush tips.

2. Set this hook very important (use for brush tip shape)

it doesn't work without this tick.

3.Select folder (brush)

4. ok

Once this is done we can create the brush.

To do this, I choose an existing brush that suits me, so the new brush takes over its settings.

1. Right click on the existing brush

2. Duplicate the sub-tool

 

A window appears, here you can give the emerging brush a name.

After OK, another window should open.

If not at the top of the bar: window sub-tools details

 

Here you can find all the settings for your brush.

 

1. Brush tip

2. Click to change the picture

This window appears.

 

1. Can you search for your picture. in our case "brush tip"

2. Select the desired image

3. Press Ok

 

Now we can try out our brush.

The settings windows can remain open.

If you still want to have different colors you have to set that too.

1. Ink

2. Color mix

3. Note the setting of the amount of color and color density.

Here you set how strong or transparent the brush color is.

Now you can set a lot more. Try a little around there are many interesting settings to create your own custom brush.

e.g. Another setting is: contour gap

the distance between your picture can be changed.

When I make a new brush, I prefer to use the saved brush shape: circle, heart or star.

Depending on what I want or need, I choose.

 

Circle: the image is drawn.

 

Heart: Like a sticker, the image always appears the same.

 

Star: The image appears like a sticker but rotates.

Then I have to insert my brush tip picture.

1. Brush tip

2. Material

3. Add brush tip shape

1. Brush shape circle: drawing.

2. Heart brush shape: stickers always the same.

3. Brush shape star: sticker, rotating.

I wish you a lot of fun and hope this tutorial can help you to create your own individual brushes. XOXO
