Well...i decided to make a Medium-Hard tutorial :shifty: , lets see who is noob and who isnt xD. Nah, but this tutorial, its very detailed so, i think all the members weill be able to do it well.
Well in this tutorial i will explain how to make an abstract brush, the asbtract brushes are very easy to make and simple, but his one its not simple xD it got lots of details, so...lets begin!

1. Make a new document, 350*350, and fill it with black.


2. Now make a new layer, select the brush tool and select the first brush, and chage the size to 4


3. Now make something like this

It shouldn't be perfect

4. Now, lets make it look cool, let erase the ending of each line, so, select the eraser tool, and change the opacity to 30% and the size to 5


You should have something like this


Now it dont look so good, so, lets make it look better adding a greadient overlay.
Right click on this layer > blending options > gradient overlay, and apply this settings


Now it looks good :D


5. Now, lets make a light down the abtract, make a new layer, select the brush tool, and select this brush

Change the opacity to 65%


You should have something like this

6. Now in the light layer ( i called it white ) filter > liquify
And with this settings


Make this


7. Now, add a layer mask


Select the gradient tool and change the settings


Now make this


You should have something like this

8. Now, make a new later, i called it starts, this layer should be down the "white" layer and up the backround


Now select this brush


And apply this settings




Brush a few near the light


9. Now select the abstract layer, right click > select layer transparency


Now select > modify > contract, contract it 1 pixel


Now press ctrl+shit+i for invert the selection, and select filter > blru > guissan blur with this settings


And this is the final result


You can save it and then use it in a sig or something, but i recomend to make it a brush!! :hyper:

10. Now, lets make it a brush!
Save the work as brush.jpg.
Now close it, save it if you want as psd.
Open the brush.jpg, press ctrl+j for duplicate the layer and press ctrl+i for invert the colors, you should have something like this


Now edit > define brush preset

and save it with any name
Now you have your brush! you can use it now ^_^


Now u probably want to save it. Well... select edit > preset manager
And select our brush


and save it clicking in Save Set ^_^
