Dynamic Brushes

OK, I should take a copywriting course! With Easter eggs all over the net, I decided to create my own line of freshly designed eggs. Maybe I’ll even put some up for sale here, too.

Once I have the basic egg shape, I use my decorative brushes for painting them on. TIP: It is helpful to duplicate your more popular brushes and just rotate them. That way, when it comes to painting them on, you don’t need to paint and then rotate, as all options appear as thumbnails in the Brushes pallette.

Here’s my take on this week’s Illustration Friday theme “intricate”.
It’s more of a graphic than an illustration, and I created it with close attention to each layer, working very intricately with the settings of the photoshop brushes and layer effects. (I wonder if there’s a market for this kind of image? I really enjoyed making it but there must be lots of people out there doing similar stuff.)

Thanks to fmr from France for sending in her background which she made using the Davinci-esque brush freebie from the previous post. And yes, I do love to see what people are doing with these brushes. From your comments, I see that these brushes are as useful for scrapbooking as I had hoped.

Here’s what fmr had to say:

Thanks for the DaVinci-esque brush; Love it !
