I recently dedicated a couple Ustream shows to Photoshop brushes and textures. I love to take questions and chat during my shows, but these two episodes are the only broadcasts where I set out to actually teach specific lessons. So, I am putting them here in a blog post so they are easy to find and access.
Forgive my mumbling and bumbling; I don’t speak as well as I write. But these live shows were great because the viewers asked some really good questions that I wouldn’t have been able to think of on my own. I hope you find them extra informative to the stuff I’ve already posted here on the blog.
If you have a question or suggestion for a future Ustream lesson, go ahead and send me a note. I will post any plans for special broadcasts on the Dani Draws Live page (or you can keep track of me on Twitter). Please stop by next time and have your questions ready!
Also, here is a list of tutorials that outline many of the concepts I try to explain in the Ustream videos.
- Texture: How to Make Better Art with Jelly Beans
- Make Your Own Photoshop Brushes
- Not Your Typical Round Brush
- Which Brushes Do I Use Most Often?
- Five Ways to Create Textures Completely in Photoshop

hi,i got a problem about photoshop.i want to ask you and hope you don’t mind.The color i choose is totally completely black but when i paint it it tend to look more like dark gray.BYW thz u for all these awesome tutorials!
Cheng – I would check your brush settings. If there is a texture applied to it, or if the opacity is lower, the color will come out gray. Also, other settings such as watercolor edges may also lighten the color.
I cant select a color for my brushes… They only come out white
How do I make them a color?
Hi Dani,
Thank you SO much for these tutorials! I’m working on developing my style and know what I want it to look like but am doing the whole trial and error to get there. I’ve been using a watercolor wash I made a while ago and I’ve been sopping up any info I can find on how other artists use them. Thanks again! Hopefully we’ll cross paths someday. I live up in Manchester, NH and have recently joined SCBWI!
Thanks for your comment Sarah. Good luck with all your artistic endeavors and hope you find SCBWI useful. :)
