Tutorial: How to make a brush in Photoshop

September 29th, 2009 by Emmie

Since I’ve started making photoshop brushes for everyone lately, I thought it would make sense to do a quick tutorial on how to transform your own images into Photoshop brushes yourself! Because a lot of people don’t actually know how to, and it’s really quite simple. I’m pretty sure this works the same in Photoshop CS and above. Enjoy!

Like I said, if you want to produce a brush from another image like a photograph or something, simply use the pen tool to make a selection of it and copy and paste it into a new document where the background layer is white and it should work just fine.

And seeing as how the top part of the video decided to disappear when I uploaded it to Youtube, just incase it isn’t clear enough:

When you’re ready to make your brush, go to Edit > Define brush preset then select the brush tool, click the ‘brush’ drop down menu at the top and then select your brush from the list. Simple. :)
