Make a real pencil brush in Photoshop

[karagu1]

i tried out this tutorial its nice, i may not followed it accurately but it did com out alright..i just want to try to make my own pencil brushes to make pencils drawins for digital work..

I did everything it said- I even checked all of my settings- like opacity on pen pressure, and made sure that nothing was on that didn't need to on, etc, but it doesn't go from dark to light. I do vary in the pressure I use, but nothing happens.

I like it!

[kagome001]

I got the texture and all and mine. the color wont bend from light to dark like yours does what am i doing wrong?

[SlowAndSteady2]

This is awesome, thanks!

[Epiphany347]

Wow, I have been Looking for a tutorial like this for the last 2 fucking days!  Thank you Neil for such an awesome tutorial!

[amnfox]

even though I did all that the brush did change. The pattern wasn't applied to the brush. What am I doing wrong?

[lewisjj01]

I am using Photoshop CS5 and i have followed this tutorial perfectly until i start using it. my brush doesn't start from light then gets darker its just on colour. why is this? how can i make it like your brush when it goes from light to dark?

@lewisjj01 You need a tablet. 

[lewisjj01]

@architectus777 I do have a tablet, my laptop is a tablet. search it up HP Pavilion TX2500z i was using my tablet when i was creating this but it wasn't working :/

[lewisjj01]

@lewisjj01 The brush not working i mean, not my tablet. That works completely fine

[Madgodness]

@lewisjj01 You do know photoshop, among with other programs such as painter, sai and so only support a FEW tablets right? in there we have wacom. and i doubt the HP pavilion you have is supported by your photoshop version.

When you use a pencil brush, you never set your color to 100% black. Am I correct?

[sprayart94]

I set my opacity and pressure to pen pressure - but it isnt working, I can draw fine but no variation?

[thatonegirludontknow]

The strokes are pretty laggy. Is it your computer doing that?

[nickzucc]

Thanks for the tutorial, The brush that I made from watching the video turned out real nice! Thanks for sharing, God bless you for that! Peace-NickZ. :)

[Deredesa]

Set noise to monochromatic! : p

Thanks a lot for sharing this man. Personally I changed my texture setting to color dodge. This looks amazin!

Well i have 7 and it work to a point but not really. but i thank you for the vid, i learned something and i think if i keep playing with it i can get more brushs from it.

[DjAde4ever]

dude you go around yourselfs... you aint stedy on what your doing.. i cant follow you... this tutorial aint clean man... i neew a brush like this so would actually appreciate you going over this again in a much slower tempo and without all the oh no lets do that again and stuff... sry man i didnt manage this even though its probably a pretty easy task and it pisses me of cuz now iv waisted time on it. sorry man 2* for the effort...

[Taraborn]

@DjAde4ever, it's not his fault that you're retarded.

[CoolOurGlobe]

same with LuckyPete. Also, I do not hav a bursh like that., do you know any way I can make a brush like the one shown at 5:28? Thanks!

[architectus777]

Because I don't know what Photoshop you're using I can't say for sure.

Just go to help in Photoshop and type in brush presets. It will tell you where it is. You can do that for anything you are looking for. Help is there to be used.

[LuckyPete84]

Im with you all the way up until 5:21..How did you open brush presets cause I cant find it. I can find New brush presets and presets manager but not that.

[TheSeize102]

awesome! i need to make this!! this vid can lead to more kinds of brushes for me. not just the pencil so thanks!!!

[architectus777]

Set opacity and size to pen pressure.

[DannyDiDon]

i made it while watching the vid. thnx for the lesson . but your brush has like a stimulated pressure look. mine doesnt. how do i get that on?
