Practical: Photoshop brushes and textures

Creating effective Photoshop brushes and textures

Blur edges of texture to avoid jarring edges: new layer screen, fill with white, paint over with a feathered brush. Also lower saturation/greyscale and adjust levels to give a higher contrast to the texture.

Ensure when defining brushes, that the pattern is aligned to ensure waving does not occur when tessellated (use the warp tool).


I am happy with the selection of brushes I have created, now to apply them in practice.

TIP: Give a 3D effect to a brush mark by copying the layer, locking the transparency and painting over the top, slightly offset layer with a lighter brush.
