Pluberus Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hello, I've been using Paint.NET for a while and I've downloaded Sabrown's brushes plugin. I know many GIMP users use brushes for their sig backgrounds and stuff, but I don't really know how to use brushes. Does anyone have a simple tutorial/link that could direct me in the right direction? I understand how the brush tutorial plugin works, I just don't know how to incorporate brushes into artwork. :oops: Thanks in advance!

Overkill Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 There is no tutorial 'how' to use brushes. You just have to experiment yourself and see how it fits. You might not get the desired look at first, but that's why 'practice makes perfect'. Quote Yes, I'm a fan. ;] | My Gallery| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipp92 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 It's just like you have a picture and you paste it in your work. the brushes are like stamps. Quote Personal Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFC4EVER Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Take a look at this tut by tHs/Phase: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=25777 It helps. A lot. :wink: Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 LFC, that tutorial doesn't even have the phrase "custom brush" in it. Try his older tutorial, the one about Photoshop-like Sigs or something.

LFC4EVER Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yes, but his latest tut teaches placement of where brushes can be placed. For example, the flow section of the guide can be used to place certain brushes in a certain way to show flow. I suppose you're right about about the tut not being exactly about how to use brushes, but a bit of thinking can convert parts of the tut into where to place brushes. Here's a link to the tut i think that Crimson was talking about: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=24398&hilit=photoshop Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.
