Just wanted to thank you for all the wonderful brushes and tutorials you’ve put up for us! I highly appreciate each one of them :) Actually just downloaded 7 brush-packages, and now I was planning on learning how to make my own. Thank you, you are simply genius!

Yep, exactly like Stamps. And no, Photoshop doesn’t know or classify them, if you get them from other places – like my website. Most people that have downloadable brushes make the stamp types. I have a “Painting” section in my brushes area, which will include any sets I have that have paintable brush types. Other people may do the same kind of thing, or mention it with the set info.

You can see which brushes were made for painting by changing the stroke type in Photoshop, on how it displays the brushes. The same little arrow that you use to load up new brush sets (in a tutorial I have, if you’re not sure where I mean), you can change the way that Photoshop’s brushes are displayed on that screen to “Stroke Thumbnail” and it will show you what it looks like when you paint with the brush. Most of them will look silly, because they weren’t made to be painted with. But you’ll be able to differentiate the ones that WERE made for it that way – it’ll be obvious in that thumbnail.

Hope this helps!

So some brushes are like stamps?
And photoshop doesnt specify which is which? (a painting brush or a stamp brush?)

Sure thing. Some brushes are for painting, just like with paint. Others are made to be shapes, so that you just have to click once on the canvas, and voila! You have a design or whatever the brush was made to be.

The main thing about brushes is that they will come out in just one color – whichever color you have currently selected. So it’s very much like paint in that way.

If you look through my tutorials section, there’s a few tutorials in there that will give you a better idea of what brushes can be used for – including one that explains how to have multiple colors within a brush shape, to a degree.

I hope this helps!

Im really confused because ive never used photoshop before the most advanced image software ive used is ms paint so when the lecturer said “we’ll be designing our own brush sets in photoshop” i was very confused, then she showed us images on websites like yours of ‘brush sets’ but they where butterflies and stuff they looked like photographs to me not brushes!
i thought with brushes you draw lines, im very very confused and the next lecture is on monday!
Could you please tell me what a brush set actually IS?

Hi…I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how to make gimp brushes. I’ve done it before but it was years ago and I can’t seem to remember -.-’
