Hi Glynn,
Great vid as always, one quick question, I use CS5 and I don't seem to have the brush you used. Any ideas where I can get it? Thank you.

[@mikelixir2299]

To everyone looking for the brush, it is right after the Charcoal Pencil brush. It's name is Per Stroke Brightness Variance. Make sure to load Legacy Brushes.

Thank you your the tips on making brushes and sharing the tutorial.

[@glyndewis]

You're welcome David Wilson; thanks for watching

[@suruha2306]

Far out! I like the reverse layer mask on the hooves. I have just recently discovered the amazing control these give. I have used the 'Grass" brush that comes in Photoshop, set fairly small, wide Spacing, small Scatter Count, with a very small Angle Jitter. (Grass doesn't grow upside down! LOL) I also turn off the Color feature, if on. It doesn't bide well with masks. This has worked wonders! But, I will try your method! I love learning new ways to do things in PS!
Thank you!

[@danielcrompton7818]

Hey good tutorial, or you could just edit the mask with a grass brush

[@six6od17]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@oldiron626]

Is that brush you used here available already as one of the default brushes in Photoshop?

[@glyndewis]

Yep it's already in Photoshop

[@oldiron626]

I don't believe I have it. Any idea where to find it or something similar?

[@glyndewis]

Look under the spatter brushes...they look like spray can effect...you can use one of those for this :)

[@killsyougently]

cant find it either. i dont have spatter brushes

[@Wakodaf]

@@killsyougently mee tooo

[@minizt]

cant believe I just found your videos now, amazing tutorials

[@petervandijck]

Nice tutorial Glyn, especially the smoke brush. A question, for the hooves, why don't you convert the cut out of the rino into a smart object? Then it can have it's own mask, so you don't need to copy part of the background on top to 'see through', but can use the rino layer itsef. That an idea?

[@glyndewis]

I like your thinking there Peter van Dijck but using a mask to hide parts of the rhino and so reveal the ground would affect how the layer containing the shadow would look around the hooves....if that makes sense

[@DavidWagelmans]
