Brushabilities - Lesson 3


Today we learned a few interesting things. Did you know that you can use all of your brushes in the erase tool to erase that shape? Pretty interesting when you think about removing/adding color in layers. Today we drew a circle (holding shift to make a perfect circle, not an ellipse), removed the middle portion of the circle (control click on layer, then Select -> Modify, Contract...hit delete key to remove inner section). Then, we used a preloaded shape in Photoshop, a star, and sized it out to fix inside the circle. We added the text in a "You are Loved" font, and finally, used the eraser tool (just like a brush) to scuff up the image (to have the bg color show through). COOL, huh?
