		<description><![CDATA[A step-by-step guide to making your own Photoshop Brushes.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span id="more-30"></span><br />
As per request, (before the comments were wiped) is a brief tutorial on making your own brushes.</p>
<p>*Note, this guide is for images like the one below, which you&#8217;ve either made yourself, or you don&#8217;t wish to edit.*<br />
For making brushes from a photo, or other image which needs altering first, then please read the tutorial on <a href="http://www.whiskey.puffinhost.com/2008/06/the-secret-to-making-brushes-from-photographs/">The Secret to Making Brushes from Photographs</a></p>
<p>1. Firstly, we need something which you want to turn into a Brush. Here&#8217;s a tentacle I made in Illustrator and copied into Photoshop.<br />
<a href="http://www.whiskey.puffinhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/tentacle.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-22" title="Tentacle" src="http://www.whiskey.puffinhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/tentacle-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>When it comes to Brushes, the bigger, the better! &#8211; This gives you more flexibilty later when you come to using them.</p>
<p>2. Either get the image in it&#8217;s own document in Photoshop, or select it with the rectangle tool.</p>
<p>3. Simply hit &#8216;Edit&#8217; on the menu bar, then &#8216;Define Brush Preset&#8230;&#8217;<br />
<img src="http://www.whiskey.puffinhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/menu.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>4. Then enter a name for the brush (the name isn&#8217;t important really, CS3 displays all your brushes as images anyway)<br />
<img src="http://www.whiskey.puffinhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/untitled-31.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Congratulations, your new brush is now ready to use!<br />
<img src="http://www.whiskey.puffinhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/untitled-71.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>*If you wish to save your brush to a file, say if you wanted to submit it to a site like <a href="http://www.brusheezy.com" target="_blank">Brusheezy</a> then continue!*<br />
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
google_ad_client = "pub-0666320394625996";
/* inblog */
google_ad_slot = "6662910492";
google_ad_width = 200;
google_ad_height = 90;
// ]]&gt;</script><br />
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript">
</script><br />
5. Now select the brush tool<br />
<img src="http://www.whiskey.puffinhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/untitled-4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>6. On the Brush toolbar, click the small downwards arrow, just to the right of the current brush. This will open the Brush menu.<br />
<a href="http://www.whiskey.puffinhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/untitled-5.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-26" title="menu" src="http://www.whiskey.puffinhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/untitled-5-278x300.jpg" alt="" width="278" height="300" /></a><br />
*Note your brush menu may appear slightly differently, it&#8217;s been changed in the latest update to Photoshop CS3 to the one I have displayed*</p>
<p>7. If you click the arrow in the top right of this menu, it will open a drop-down menu, the option we&#8217;re looking for is &#8216;Preset Manager&#8230;&#8217;<br />
<img src="http://www.whiskey.puffinhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/untitled-6.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>8. Select all of the Brushes you don&#8217;t want, and hit press delete on your keyboard, then click &#8216;Done&#8217;</p>
<p>9. Now, to save your new Brush. Just like in step 6. We want to click the little arrow on the brush toolbar, just next to your new brush.</p>
<p>10. Then, again, click the arrow in the top right of the brush menu.</p>
<p>11. In the drop down menu, select &#8216;Save Brushes&#8217;</p>
<p>12. Pick a name, and where you want to save it, and you&#8217;re all set!<br />
