aarrrrr ... im getting crazy!

I play around in Ps7 with the brush options but my results are worse. I mean somehow the brushes look all the same.

there is no really useful brush i made.
I try using textures do give them a nice touch. But i guess somehow i dont unterstand the adobe custom brush way

Any help, suggestion, whatever really would help me out. I know that question sucks cause frequently asked but anyway.

Try reading this tutorial from start to finish, it's easy to understand and I found it very helpful when I was first getting used to the brushes in PS7.

Thx man !

Although i already know about this options, it's helpful.

There were over 140 views you were the very first who answered.

But what i excactly want to know is for eg. how to build brushes with somehow PAINTER "effects" if you know what i mean.
Just to imitate some traditional painting. Therefore some custombrushes are quite good.

But i think i have to find the answer by myselfe. anyway ... thx and shame on the others Confused

Maybe i have to change my nick to someone famouse ...
so next post in a view years.

No problem Smile

. I'm glad I could help.

Sorry I misunderstood your original question re the brushes. I'm not exactly sure how to create Photoshop brushes that emulate Painter effects (personally I just use Painter Smile

), but I dug up these links for you.. they give a basic overview of creating your own custom brushes in Photoshop. Is that what you were after?

http://www.adobe.com/webstudio/illustrator/illbrushes/main.html

http://www.mccannas.com/pshop2/tip16.htm

Also, you should be able to find a heap of nice painterly brushes online just by doing a google search. Lots of people have made them already and have them available on thier sites.

I hope that's more helpful Smile

Well I just know this link ...

I guess it's not what you are looking for though.

You could try drawing something with hard round brushes.
I think it's possible to make it look painterly even without custom brushes.

You know this tutorial btw?

Why not give Painter 8 a try? It's far more fun to paint in Painter. Smile

*g* for the moment painter 8 it is to expensive or i have not enough money (that's the main part =) )

I have to wait - maybe in a half year it is a little bit cheaper - i hope

Well, you can for now download the demo version off Corel's site, and just do screen captures of it instead of saves...
