Few Brushing Tips

[Karant]

Here are a few tips to get a nicely brushed signature.

- Only use same brush once. Or in a way non noticable.

- Only brush once per layer. Yes, this will result in a lot of layers.

- Brush a few layers black, then a few white.

- Use softlight or other blending modes on really dark brushes.

- When adding a color balance do not go CTRL + B. Do Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance.

Or use ctrl+I after each layer and use white all the time.

You 2 have been doing good latly, in my opinion you both should be graphix mods with foog.

I do the opposite of everything here.
I brush on the background layer.
I color balance on my brushing.
I do straight black with brushing, with minor opac. changes.

How ironic.

Well, all depends what style you want. Matt's style is great too, so now it's up to you to chose.

I go hardcore brushing on the background and the make a new layer and fill it with the color I want. Then I just go and set the layer to Color mode. It's in the blending options. You don't need to do any desaturation or anything. I wish I knew the programming of Photoshop. It does a lot. I wonder how many lines of code it's made of...

Photoshop costs roughly 600 bucks...How many lines do u think therell be

Or use ctrl+I after each layer and use white all the time.

Won't the whole thing be black then?

[Karant]

No, CTRL+I just inverts color.

how do you get the design of the lines, you guys always seem to have a ton of lines that are cool and contrasting. do you just drag the mouse around for a while?
