thank you so much for tuning in you can
use these chapters to skip to any
section of the video we all know that
the brush tool can paint but did you
know that if you hold the shift key and
try to draw a line it draws straight
lines no matter how squiggly you get if
you start brushing and then hold the
shift key and try to draw a horizontal
or a vertical line it does it perfectly
but do keep in mind it only does
horizontal and vertical lines however if
you make a point like point a let's dab
hold the shift key dab point B it makes
a straight line throughout also if you
keep holding the shift key and then just
dab it creates connected lines this is
not just limited to the brush tool any
tool that is brush based you can apply
it let's say in this image there are
some distractions we need to get rid of
there is this line right here so even
with the remove tool which is just like
a brush you can just dab on one end and
you want to make sure remove after each
stroke is unchecked so that it can work
with it and then hold the shift key dab
on the other end now you have a straight
line let's apply it by pressing this
button and there you go it looks perfect
in the real world that we live in a
brush tool can just paint but in
Photoshop the brush tool can be a lot of
things it can be scissors to cut out
stuff so here we have a new background
let's turn it on on top of that we have
our subject masked out as you can see
the mask is not perfect if you zoom in
right here this area it didn't get it
right using select subject so if we
select the mask pick the brush right
here we can make the brush a little
smaller and just paint this area in
Black to hide it as simple as that let
us choose a soft round brush and then
let's hide this area see we are cutting
out stuff with the brush tool similarly
we can bring things back we learned it
in the masking lesson which you can
watch right here we can go to this area
it didn't get the bag right so we can
paint in white so you can press X to
toggle between the foreground and the
background colors White shows and black
hides remember and you can just simply
bring it back no big deal so we are
doing cutouts using the brush tool so
the brush tool can also be a scissor the
brush tool can also be a chemical that
creates effects so here we have the
brush tool selected if we change the
blend mode of the brush to difference
right here and choose white as the
foreground color now the difference
between white and white is what black
because there is no
difference we painted it nothing out of
the ordinary let's paint over it again
it's painting the difference let's paint
over it again and you keep on painting
to create some wonderful wonderful
effects and you can use this possibly as
a background if you wish to you can also
experiment with different colors so
right now now this is what we get and
then you can change the color to
something like red and paint over it to
create some fantastic effects you can
try different brushes and you can also
use it as a background which we have
covered in this video you can also use
the brush tool for Advanced Techniques
like dodging and burning so here we have
just a simple gray layer we changed its
splend mode to soft light painted some
areas with white and some areas with
black that's just it but have a look at
the result here is the before and here
is the after all with the brush tool so
as you saw the brush tool in Photoshop
is not just merely for painting it can
be many things and in this lesson we
will learn how the brush tool works and
how can you make the most of it so that
you can apply it all throughout
everything that you do in Photoshop and
by the end of this video you're going to
be a master so without any further Ado
let's get started before we start the
most important reminder the shortcut to
the brush tool is is b b for brush
that's how you remember it any tool
you're in if you want to get back to the
brush tool you press B or you can select
the brush tool from right here up to you
now before we delve deep into the magic
of brushes let us do some housekeeping
first of all when you do select the
brush tool you will get the option to
select different types of brushes right
here inside of this you will have
different groups which if you open
you'll find different kinds of brushes
if you don't see any of this let me
share with you how to reset it first of
all let me delete all of these all right
so now I don't have my default brushes
by the way these are the brushes that I
created and installed all you have to do
is to click on the gear icon right there
and then click on append default brushes
hit okay and all your default brushes
will show up if they were not showing up
already and that is General dry wet
special effects I'm going to bring these
at the bottom so default is at the top
sometimes when you br brushing you might
wonder where did my circle go so right
now the circle is showing up but it's
gone where did that go by the way when
you're working with brushes you want to
make sure that if you have worked with
blend modes before you change it back to
normal otherwise weird stuff will happen
so right now my brush has changed to a
Crosshair I want the regular version
back just make sure that your caps lock
is not activated Once you turn off caps
lock see you have the regular brush back
now there is a purpose for this which we
will cover later in the video now when
you do pick your brushes and you do want
to see the brush tip you can turn it on
right now you see how the brushes would
paint if you painted this way you can go
to the settings and then you can check
brush tip it will also show you the tip
of the brush which basically means what
would the brush paint like if you just
dab like this that's the brush tip so
first of all let's talk about the four
fundamental properties of a brush the
first one being size so how do you
control the size of the brush if you're
getting paid by the hour click here and
then you can control the size using this
slider but if you want to work quicker
there are a couple of shortcuts the
first one is using bracket keys so right
bracket key to make it larger and the
left bracket key to make it smaller by
the way I do recommend changing your
shortcuts from the bracket keys to W and
E if you don't have any use for w and E
in Photoshop that way you don't have to
lift your hand and go to the other
section of the keyboard usually our hand
is on the left and side so that we can
press controller command Z controller
command C controller command V shift and
all of that everything is on the left
hand side so it's more convenient to
change your brush size shortcuts to W
and E so that you don't have to lift
your hand and do the whole thing over
and over again so how do you do that you
go to edit and then keyboard shortcuts
click on this drop down and you want to
make sure tools is selected scroll down
you will find a shortcut for decrease
brush size there you go decrease brush
size by default it would be bracket keys
this one and this one right you just
have to click on it and change it to W
press W and increase it for e that's it
accept it some errors might show up just
accept it it is for replacing the
previous shortcuts for w
hit okay and at any time you can reset
everything to defaults by clicking on
this drop down and choosing Photoshop
defaults I don't want that so I'm going
to hit okay right here so it's more
convenient that way another shortcut to
control the size is pressing control and
option on a Mac and then dragging it
right and left to increase and decrease
the size on a Windows you hold the ALT
key of the option key and the right
Mouse button drag it right and left to
control the size the next property is
hard hardness it controls how sharp the
edges of the brush are so right now this
is a soft brush if I go ahead and
increase the hardness by clicking on
this Arrow right here you can increase
the hardness from right here and now
this is not so soft brush if I increase
the hardness all the way high there you
go very sharp Brush by the way you might
notice there are some bumps in the brush
why because there is less spacing in it
what does that mean we're going to cover
it later in the video but for now you
can go to window and brush settings so
here you have the spacing decrease the
spacing and now you have a smoother
brush that's all but by default if you
choose the soft brush not enough spacing
is required in a soft brush because it's
soft already and in a hard Brush by
default automatically the spacing is
less so you don't have to worry about
any of that right now but if you ever
come across issues like this you know
why it is happening now what is the
shortcut for hardness similarly on a Mac
hold the control and option and if you
drag it up it would be soft if you drag
it down it would be hard you get to see
a preview of that as well on a Windows
alt and the right Mouse button same drag
it up or down side note I've configured
my tablet in such a way that all I have
to do is to press this button on the pen
and then drag it right left up down to
control all those settings size and
hardness and if you want to learn how to
set your tablet up there is a video on
that as well the next one is opacity
just like the L the brush can have
opacity too so once you select the brush
at the top you'll see opacity let's
decrease the opacity to about
20% this is a less opaque brush let's
increase the opacity a little higher
this is
63 more opaque brush or in other words
you can say the higher the opacity the
less the transparency now is there a
shortcut for opacity of course there is
if you have the brush tool selected and
then if you press 1 the opacity is 10 if
you press 5 it's 50 if you press 8 it's
80 and if you press zero it's 100 there
you go 100 40 10 you get the gist of it
now there's one more thing which looks
like opacity but it isn't and that is
flow if we decrease the flow to about
10% the intensity is low if we increase
the flow the intensity is high
it looks like opacity but what is the
difference by the way the shortcut to
controlling the flow is very similar to
opacity just hold the shift key and then
if you press three it's 30 hold the
shift 6 60 hold the shift
880 now flow is changing if you hold the
shift key if you don't hold the shift
key opacity will change now what is the
difference opacity is like every time
you paint it's like placing a sheet of
paper with that level of transparency so
if the opacity let's say is 20% and if I
paint it's simply a sheet of paper which
is this transparent if I paint over it
again it's a sheet of paper on top of it
with this level of transparency if I
paint over it again this is again like a
sheet of paper with this level of
transparency it is just like creating
layers with opacity 20 one on top of the
other that's opacity in a brush however
flow is different let's increase the
opacity to 100 and decrease the flow to
10% working with flow is just like a
real brush imagine a sketch pen which is
a bit dried up dried up to the level of
10% you start painting and as you can
see the intensity is not as high but as
you continue painting over an area over
and over again the intensity accumulates
you don't have to lift off your brush or
lift off your mouse and then paint again
to place a sheet of paper just as we did
in opacity but this is like the
intensity of the brush let's decrease
the flow to 2% to see it clearly so this
is low intensity but I can continue
painting on the same
area and the intensity increases just
like a real brush as opposed to opacity
where if the opacity is like 10%
if I continue to paint in an area it
wouldn't increase the intensity why
because it's just like placing a sheet
of paper I have to place another sheet
of paper to make it more opaque now this
section might convince you to buy a
tablet by the way if you're interested
in what tablet I'm using or what I
recommend for different budgets you can
check the links in the description
because we're going to be talking about
pressure sensitivity when you're using
the mouse to paint something you just
have to sign signals either it is on or
off that is just it but with a tablet
you have different levels of pressure so
right now I'm pressing very softly so
the brush is small now I'm increasing my
pressure and the brush is becoming
bigger and bigger so right in here the
pen pressure controls the size of the
brush but if you go to window and brush
settings we're going to discuss all of
these advanced settings later but for
right now if you go to shape d Dynamics
you will notice that the size of the
brush is set to pen pressure if we turn
it off you will notice that the pen
pressure no more controls the size if
you go to transfer instead let's turn it
off go to transfer turn it on you can
set the opacity and the flow to pen
pressure so right now if we press softly
the opacity and the flow is low as we
press harder the opacity and the flow
increases and so does the intens density
of the brush now coming back to the
question what is the purpose of the
Crosshair it becomes important
especially when you're using pen
pressure so let us choose a brush that
is hard around pressure size where the
pressure controls the size it is just an
easy preset let's say we paint a cursive
S right here now we need to connect
something right here but if we try to
paint we will miss the center point
let's try one more time try to keep it
in the center if we are fast we are
missing the center point we want to
start exactly where it ends and that is
where Crosshair is important so that we
can figure out where the center is press
caps lock the brush cursor changes to a
Crosshair now you can see exactly where
the center is and start directly from
there it's a bit shabby I'm sorry about
that but that's the use case of it and
after you're done do not forget to turn
off caps lock otherwise we can be
confused and our text will be screaming
at everybody now I'm not a professional
artist when it comes to handling brushes
so how did I end up writing this
decently well I used a cheat code and
that cheat code my friend is smoothing
so how does that work let's turn off the
SL let's write it one more time press
caps lock so that it's easy for us and
right now whatever I paint if we
decrease the smoothing whatever I paint
is happening instantaneously just
exactly the way you paint it so let's
say we write something like beautiful
right here even a little mistake will
show up so even if I made a little
squiggly line right here even if my hand
moved it will not smooth it out all
right now let's create a brand new lay
and this time let's increase the
smoothing all the way to 100 it gives
you a little lag and Smooths out the
irregularities so now when you write in
beautiful you get a lot more time to
play with it look at the smoothness this
is beautiful now just as a bonus to
place it on the paper let's use some
blend modes let's place it right here
make it a bit straight just like this
and now let's change the blend mode from
normal to multiply because multiply is
blend mode which darkens now double
click on the right hand side of the
layer we want to take away the bright
areas of the underlying layer from this
current layer if none of this makes
sense you can use this lesson on blend
if so let's do it like this this is too
harsh so hold the ALT key or the option
key click on the slider to break it
apart and break it apart just like this
now this color is not fitting so nicely
in here so you can check color overlay
right here and change the color to
whatever you like let's make it a bit
brighter blue like
this something like this is nicer what
do you think let's make it this color
that is more realistic there you go I
like it hit okay again and done there's
another very important shortcut if you
want to use the same brush as the Eraser
so as you're painting if you want to
erase it of course you can select the
Eraser tool and erase parts of it or if
the brush tool is selected you can just
press the Tia key the key next to one on
the left of one on your keyboard as you
hold it your brush tool is still
selected but it changes to the Eraser so
now you can erase stuff as soon as you
let go of the tier key you can paint
again hold it to erase it let go to
paint again now how do you create your
own brush the concept is pretty simple
whatever area you want as the brush dip
those areas need to be black and the
rest of the areas need to be white let
me illustrate so if I just paint
randomly so here's a random White Blank
document I paint randomly with black
like
this and some other areas as well just
to share with you the selection
criterias now if we make a selection of
this
one and then if we go to edit Define
brush preset that will be turned to a
brush now keep in mind it's a brush tip
your brush wouldn't paint like that
anyway this is just a test let's name it
test hit okay now this is a brush let's
go back now if you dab it will paint it
that way you can change the color to
whatever you like there you go it is
your brush now if you continuously paint
with this it paints something like that
and we'll go to advanc settings later
but that's how you turn something into a
brush just make sure that the area that
you want to turn into a brush that is in
black and the area that you don't want
in the brush that is in white for a
little more advanced example I'm going
to place my logo in here now my logo is
in absolute white if you just keep this
layer on have a look white with a
transparent background we need to paint
it in Black so for it we're going to
create a solid color adjustment layer
change it to Black hit Okay hold the ALT
key or the option key and click on the
line between these two layers so that
this color is clipped to this logo layer
now you can select it all by pressing
control or command a since there's
nothing else or you can also make a
selection of this area doesn't really
matter there is nothing else that you
need to be careful of Select it all by
pressing control or command a then go to
edit Define brush preset it will
consider just that area and let's name
this piximperfect
fine press control or command D now you
have that brush and we can stamp it
wherever we want so right in here this
is a photo that I took I want my logo
and stuff here so let's change the color
to white you can always press X to
toggle between the foreground and the
background colors and let's just dab
right here there we go we painted with
our brush you can make it larger you can
make it smaller just like a regular
brush makes the process super convenient
and you will be able to find your brush
right here this is your pix simp perfect
brush you can also put the brushes you
created into a group select this brush
hold the controller command select the
other one or if you want to select a
series of brushes select the first one
hold the shift select the next one in
the series everything will be selected
just make sure all of them are selected
and then you can right click on it and
choose new brush group and you can group
it to whatever you like let's name it
pcks click on okay and now we have a
group of brushes now how do you turn an
image to a brush same concept so here I
took a white paper took a red sketch pen
and just wrote this signature and I want
to turn it into a brush for this to turn
into a brush successfully we want this
background to be absolutely white and
this one to be absolutely black for it
you can simply go to select color range
and with this eye dropper right here
just click on the red that's it you can
control the fuzziness so that whatever
you have selected is in White and the
background is black for me this is fine
you can select additional areas by
clicking on the plus ey dropper select
this area as well everything is now
selected white are the areas that are
selected black are the areas that are
not selected hit okay now with the
selection active click on the adjustment
C icon and then choose solid color and
as you guessed it right we're going to
choose black and then simply create a
solid color white background let's
select the layer underneath it because
we want to create a layer under this
color fill now let's create a solid
color adjustment layer again and choose
white everything looks proper control or
command a to select it all go to edit
Define brush preset and you can name
this signature hit okay and there you
have your signature brush let's go to an
image and instead of this you can also
write in your signature press D to set
the foreground and the background to
defaults X to toggle the colors and
there we go you have your signature as
well now how do you export these brushes
or share these brushes for other people
to use or maybe for your own backup for
that just simply select the brushes you
want to export so first one hold the
shift key select the last one even if
it's inside the group outside the group
it doesn't really matter you can export
with groups just select all the brushes
you can also select the groups as well
up to you and then click on the gear at
the top and then go to export selected
brushes let's name it pix test and click
on Save and now if you wanted to bring
in these brushes you can directly open
those files or you can go here import
brushes and if we choose pix test click
on open pix test group shows up with all
the brushes that we selected to
understand the advanced properties of a
brush let's create an advanced brush
you're going to love it first of all
let's go to file new and let's create a
smaller document let's go to Art and
illustration choose th000 pixel grid
click on create with the brush tool
selected you want to make sure you have
the soft round brush selected right here
let's zoom in a bit more with black as
the foreground color let's create a dust
brush let's start painting dust
particles little bit here and there now
once you have that finalized all you
have to do is to select that area or
select the entire image because there is
nothing else press controller command a
to select everything or you can select
that area and then go to edit Define
brush preset let's name this dust hit
okay now it's a dust brush but does it
paint like dust let's create a new
document and this time let's create a
big bigger document maybe 4,000 by 4,000
or even 2,000 x 2,000 will do you can go
to Art and illustration for this preset
2000x 2000 grid click on Create and for
better visibility let's create a solid
color adjustment layer choose black and
on top of that let's create a new layer
and change the color to white now if you
try to paint with this does it look like
dust no it looks like a trail of
mosquitoes or something to make it paint
like dust we're going to have to use
Advanced brush properties for it let's
go to window and brush settings let's
start with brush tip shape you get a
live preview of how the brush will paint
like if you paint it like this how will
it show and it gives you a live preview
of the exact same thing the first
setting right here is the size which you
know how to control then you have the
rotation yes you can rotate your brushes
so you can rotate like this you see the
preview right there so right now this is
how the brush paints right I can rotate
it a little bit this is how it paints
rotate it a bit more this is how it
paints right so it's simply rotating the
brush tip that's it you can also squish
the brush tip in other words decreasing
the roundness so right here if we just
squish it it's squished there you go
it's super flat you can open it up this
is how it is right now you can also flip
the brush horizontally or vertically to
understand it better let's get a brush
tip that is easier to understand of
course you can also select brushes from
here as well so this is our signature
brush that we just created this is how
the brush is if we flip the
xais it's flipped horizontally if we
flip the y axis it's flipped vertically
now spacing as you guessed it is the
space between each brush tip as you
paint if there is less spacing it'll be
just straight lines if there is more
spacing there would be more space as you
paint now it is beginning to look like
dust so let's increase the spacing you
can get a live preview right here now
here's the shortcut if you want to
rotate the brush at any point you can
also use arrow keys the right arrow keys
will rotate the brush clockwise and the
left one will rotate it anticlockwise if
you want to rotate it faster just hold
the shift key and then press the arrow
key to rotate it 15° at a time so right
now angle is 49 right let's do it one
more time it's 64 so 15 at a time just
hold the shift key you can also keep
holding the arrow keys to rotate faster
if you wish and if you're using a
graphic tablet your pen tilt can also
control the brush rotation and that
brings us to shape Dynamics let's go to
shape Dynamics and turn it on so that
these functions are applicable now in
the angle section you can set the
control to pen tilt now have a look as I
tilt the pen the rotation will change
have a look
see as I'm tilting it so I'm tilting it
to the left hand side rotation is
changing tilting it to the right see and
that is the advantage you get
with a graphic tablet recommended ones
in the description let's turn it off we
don't need it for this one you can also
control the size to bend pressure so now
when I press softly the size will be
smaller if I press harder the size will
be larger in addition to that you can
also have random sizes and that is where
Jitter comes into the rescue how random
you want the size to be if you increase
the randomness have a look at the
randomness right here let's turn the
control off control off so you can see
what's happening so if we make the size
Jitter absolutely High the random size
variations is absolutely random it can
be extremely small and as large as you
have set it so have a look right here
sometimes it paints small sometimes it's
larger so it's the randomness of size
you can also turn up angle Jitter so
that every tip has a random rotation and
a random angle so now as we Paint This
Is Random dust if you want the
horizontal and vertical flips to also
happen randomly you can check flip X
Jitter flip y Jitter you can also turn
up roundness Jitter which controls how
random is the squishiness of the brush
and with these options like size Jitter
and roundness Jitter you also have the
option of minimum diameter and minimum
roundness so that a random size is not
unrealistically extremely small and then
we have an extremely huge result so it
maintains a range so you can set it to
about 30% so a random size will not go
below 30% of your brush size the next
one here is transfer let's select that
let's turn that on now you can control
the opacity with pen pressure you can
control the flow with pen pressure so
let's turn off the flow so you can see
what's happening so if you set the
opacity control to pen pressure we have
discussed it before if we press softly
the opacity is low if we press harder
the opacity is higher that's just it and
you can also make it absolutely random
too let's make the flow random too I
want to turn off pen pressure control
because it's random anyway now the next
one important right here is scattering
let's select that turn it on and you can
just scatter it as you scatter it have a
look the brush tips get scattered more
scattered less scattered you can choose
to scatter in both
axis there you go it's all random but
again the count is low you can increase
the count right here and now have a look
at the dust it's beginning to look like
real awesome dust I'm going to decrease
the brush size take a look at it take a
look at the dust it's so cool isn't it
now the count is too huge and set the
scatter to about
154% that's nicer let's create a new
layer let's play with it that looks much
better than before and there you go you
can just customize everything about this
brush now it is important to save this
brush with all of these settings so for
it click on the hamburger menu go to new
brush preset you want to make sure
include tool settings is selected and
name it pix dust hit okay and now you
have this brush saved if you go to the
dust brush that we created before and if
we try to paint it's it's nothing but if
we choose the Pix dust one have a look
at it it's so much better now this is a
very versatile brush you can paint dust
with it you can paint snow with it let's
try to paint some snow let's let's
create a brand new lay by clicking on
this button select that dust brush pix
dust and let's sample the color of the
sky hold the ALT key or the option key
sample this color right here click it
sample and just simply start
painting paint a bit right
here and it's going with it have a look
at it it's like it's a part of it here's
the before here's the after it's going
with it beautifully now time for
something fun and that my friend is
symmetry let's increase the smoothing so
that we paint smoothly and the Symmetry
icon doesn't need to be explained so
click on it and you can create a
vertical symmetry this is just like a
vertical line you can just resize it you
can rotate it up to you so I'm going to
keep it this way and now when you paint
the other side will be a mirror image of
the other side that's all let's select a
hard round pressure size brush select
black as the foreground color and
whatever you
do you have a mirror image on the other
side so cool you can also choose other
shapes like dual axis now whatever you
do is mirror it on all four sides like
this you also have mandala mandala I
don't know how to pronounce that please
correct me in the comments that a lot of
people enjoy a lot let's select that you
can choose how many segments you want
let's choose five hit okay you have five
segments you can rotate it you can
adjust it
right hit enter or return I want to
create a black background let's choose
black on top of that let's create a new
layer and paint with white something
like this looks fantastic now you can
change the color to red and maybe do
something in
here and then you can do something in
the middle something in
here and you can go on and on and I warn
you this is very addictive now once
you're done turn off the Symmetry by
clicking King here symmetry off
otherwise it will keep painting this way
now here's an important setting before
we move on to some exciting brushes
whenever you have any brush selected
whether the size is controlled with pen
pressure or not whatever brush that is
for example the hard round brush if we
paint with
it the pen pressure does not control the
size of course you can make a change in
the brush preset brush settings but if
you turn on this button right here if
this is turned
on the pen pressure will always is
control the size throughout this channel

all the applaud right here now let's do
a creative project with these brushes
let's create a negative mask by holding
the ALT key or the option key and click
on the mask button now let's create a
solid color adjustment layer and choose
white and place it under the subject
select the mask right here let's scroll
down and we're going to choose one of
these brushes there are so many it's
hard choosing one let's go with this one
select it and now you want to make sure
white is the foreground color let's make
the brush a little larger and start
painting start bringing back the subject
slowly and gradually now we want to
bring back the subject a little more
than the subject's background so for it
select the quick selection tool or any
of these three tools and at the top
click on select subject now with the
selection active with the mask selected
select the brush again you can choose a
different brush or the same brush up to
you let's try this brush and paint more
on the subject press controller command
D once you're satisfied and this looks
marvelous to make it even better you can
even erase certain areas let's open this
up there are these eraser ones there's
the salt one let's select that and I'm
going to choose the brush again and you
can bring additional areas back like
this or you can erase it create this
salt effect see that you can choose a
different kind of salt erase this area a
bit that area a bit again this area in
addition to that you can also add a
gradient background and on top of that
if you want you can also add some text
this looks fantastic but the intensity
is not enough so select the subject
layer and then press control or command
J to make a duplicate now of course this
might seem like too much so decrease the
opacity let's set it to about
72% that seems about right and there you
have your creative graphic so that's all
about the brush tool in Photoshop there
is so much to it and that is why I
