Brushabilities - Lesson 9


Today's class was to start off where yesterday's ended. We started with the tag, and then downloaded a stitching brush, provided to us in the class materials. We loaded the brush, and then set the spacing of the brush to around 300. doing the top and the bottom of the tag first, we clicked once (and held), held the shift key and then dragged where we wanted to go. This was repeated for each side of the tag by changing the angle of the brush. A slight 2px drop shadow was added to this layer to give it some dimension. Then, Jessica showed us how, by using the Angle Jitter-Direction type, that you can draw flourishes and hand drawn items with any brush; the brush rotates for you as you draw. Pretty sweet!
