Step 1: Find the Imageįor this example, I found a cloud image to use.

Just like a photo, it’s okay to go from a large brush to a small brush, but if you create a brush from a low resolution image, it will look bad when used in large applications. Keep in mind that if you are going to create custom brushes, it’s a good idea to use large or high resolution images. You just have to know how to convert your images or objects into the right format to define them as brushes.

You can use literally anything to create a custom brush. It can save you a lot of time if you just create your own brushes. There are thousands of brushes available online that you can download for your projects, but sometimes it can take hours to find the right brushes to get the specific look that you want. With brushes, you can blend masks, create effects, add textures, and create lighting. Brushes are one of the fundamental features in Photoshop.
