    All these years and I had no idea that the Mixer brush was there. Just that little nugget of information alone has helped me exponentially. THANK YOU!

    It's simply remarkable how one mere tool can be used in such a variety of different ways! Every video I see about the Mixing Brush is totally different ♥

    This has to be one of the best Photoshop paintbrush tutorials (or just Photoshop tutorials period) I've ever watched. I'm not even 10 minutes into this and I subscribed to his channel and added this video to my favorites list. I plan to see what other videos he has. He uses techniques and shortcuts that otherwise would have taken me forever to do.

    Thanks for the lesson. I've been looking for this for hours. I've been wanting to create my own tree rather than using the script in Photoshop. Those were the only lessons I found until now. This is EXACTLY what I needed. THANK YOU!!

    @ShaneMadeArt 7 років тому +10

    This will be super helpful for concept paintings, plus you can also save your new brushes as tool presets so you don't have to recreate a reference image each time. Adobe should be shouting about features like this!

    Thanks Aaron! This has piqued my curiosity about custom brushes. The end tree result has a strong sense of movement and being tousled by the wind, and it seems like it comes a lot down to rhythms in the mixer brush created by the leaf custom brush.

    @revoltpuppy 6 років тому +1

    Great tutorial. I always wonder about the new tools they add in. This was very clear and very cool. You gotta take advantage of smart objects. Convert your layers and then you can scale down and back up without destroying all your pixel data.

  • @keahprototype4374
    @keahprototype4374 7 років тому +40

    Little quick tip for the mixer brush:
    You can also use pixel images as color information. Find a .png of a tree (make sure the resolution is high so it doesn't negatively affect your work) and sample the leaves and you can instantly have an entire palette at your fingertips. You can also sample the work you have already done using the mixer brush leading to even more amounts of variation.

    Thanx Aaron, ive taken a few of your anatomy classes....really wonderful to brush up on things i learnt at art school, which sadly hadnt used for years as i went into graphic design. Now im working as an artist/illustrator & a lot of my work is in digital, which i began about 18 mths back. Coming from traditional i found Painter a really great program, it feels very organic & has all the brushes & tools i need. However ive just begun work on a childrens book, first job illustrating a book (very excited) & decided it would be a good idea to learn PS (which ive only ever used in graphics, photo manips), it has similarities with Painter, but so much i need to learn. Any tips are of great use! I think the biggest difference is Painters blending, most brushes also blend...just lower resat, ive relied a lot on that i guess, & PS just doesn't have the same capabilities. I know theres smudging, but its not the same & videos ive watched on blending with brushes seem complicated. Is there something im missing, how do you blend colours?
