Introduction
This aim of this tutorial is to create a custom
brush that can be used to add scales to a
creature of some description.
Before we go on to deal with the task of creating
the actual brush, there is the issue of designing
the monster. As there was no criteria or a brief
to work to, I decided to start doodling and see
where my brush took me. I didnt have any
preconceived ideas prior to starting, except
that I wanted to avoid a bipedal animal as I had
recently painted one of these and thought a
change might be interesting.
The problem facing a custom brush specifically
started to sketch.

Introduction
In this tutorial the goal is to create and paint
using custom brushes, to build details and to
enrich a character. I have made three types of
brushes shape, stamp and painting which
were going to use in lots of different ways. I
have also given an explanation and included
images of how to create each type and how to
use them, followed by images of the painting
where they are used.

Using Filters
As shown in Fig.08 I use the Liquify filter to
push the paint around and create the beaten
up look Im going for. I even use the Bloat tool
in that filter to puff out his lips and the areas
around his eyes.
You can also see that Ive started to use the
various brushes that Ive created to give the
character blemishes and bruises. Its pretty

In Fig.15 you can see a close up of what Im
talking about. My custom brushes help to create
some of the noise that makes up the flesh and
bruising, but I go in tight with my basic brush to
create the actual gash.
Quick Tip
Its great to have specific brushes that you need
for textures that are common like dirt, wood,
grass, flesh, etc. Also a good noise brush is
great and can come in handy for both characters

Introduction
The theme of this tutorial concerns custom
brushes and, specifically, those that could
be used to add detail to an alien, describing
skin patterns, markings and camouflage. The
objective is to create an array of brushes, which
can be used to provide some textural variation.
The brushes can be modified and combined to
create further adaptations and become the basis
for a more extensive library.
We shall begin by designing the creature on
which we will demonstrate the custom brushes.
Because this tutorial requires a version of the
alien on which you can apply these brushes
yourself and create your own interpretation, I
will compose a line drawing before adding any
color. This is not normally how I would approach
a painting, but on reflection it seemed like the
best way of providing a template for people to
experiment with.
Often the first step I take is to create a number
of thumbnail sketches and perhaps sketch
a group of silhouettes to help flesh out the
general proportions and overall shape of the
character. Alternatively, as in this case, I fill
in a background and then start to draw on a
separate layer using a hard round brush.
I have the Opacity Jitter set to Pen Pressure
and simply start doodling until a design begins
to emerge. Repeatedly drawing random shapes
and flowing lines will usually result in some sort
of concept or idea taking form, which can serve
as the foundation on which to build a more
elaborate design.
