Custom Brushes

The second task we were given was to create a custom brush within Photoshop and then use it to create a simple image. The brush we were going to create had to be a cloud brush.

To create the brush is used a large amount of simple brush dots in various sizes, shades and with varying edge softnesses. I then used the chalk brush around the edges in order to break up the outline of the cloud shape in order to make it look slightly softer. I also used a little bit of the smudge tool as this was an extremely effective way of adding a little bit of a swirl to it.

Below are the custom brush I made and the simple sky image that I created using the brush.
