Title】 Water Brush in Photoshop
Tools】 Photoshop


:bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred:

So a lot of people, including myself, freakin' love the Water Brush in Paint Tool SAI.

There might be many reasons why you would want a similar brush in photoshop, I for one wanted it because it's easier and Paint Tool SAI still doesn't like my computer. :XD:

I know what you're thinking, SMUDGE TOOL!?

Yes. The forbidden Smudge Tool.

There are creative ways to use this tool and it's in there for a reason. I always avoided the tool for blending but I find that with this custom brush and the Smudge Tool, not only is it easier for me to see the difference between two tones when blending, it also makes it easier for me to judge a nice blending job when doing it the other way of layering and colour picking. (The most common way of painting in Photoshop. :)) Therefore I personally find it is helping me learn to blend in Photoshop via the aforementioned technique.

I would recommend not to use this all the time if you want to master blending in photoshop. It's an excellent skill to have but at the same time, the more ways you find you can do something, the more ways you can create different pieces of work.

Either way, I hope this is of use to you all. Happy Drawing~!

Note: It should be able to work on any version of Photoshop.



:star: I recommend you create this custom brush using the brush tool then save that as a new custom brush and then set your Smudge Tool to that brush preset.:star:



:heart::heart::heart::heart:OMG Thank you so much for the DD! It's my first one ever! :la: Thank you~! :heart::heart::heart::heart:

Will this work in photoshop elements? If so, how? :c

Having a lot of problems with this at the moment. :(

For one, the 'Flow Jitter' section is greyed out entirely, I can only alter the Opacity Jitter in that window.

Secondly, the settings won't stick. When I switch to another brush and switch back everything resets and I have to set it all over again.

Help? ):

I'm not sure the reason behind the Flow Jitter being greyed out. I imagine it has something to do with pen pressure.

The settings not sticking however; I would make sure that you create the custom brush, save it as a new brush entirely and then set your smudge tool to that custom brush. The smudge tool should stay as that brush and keep all those settings.

If this persists then perhaps resetting your Photoshop Preferences file might help. You can see how to do that here.

If this does not help then I'm afraid I can't help much further, having not experienced these problems myself.

I guess not everyone is fond of using the smudge tool.
Well, so was I.

I had to let you know that this brush has been fantastic. To be honest I had never used the smudge tool in anything before and since using your brush I have had great results. I cannot thank you enough.

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I have never used nor really seen SAI in use, but I have long used Open Canvas 1.1 for many, many years, preferring it over Ps. [link]

This brush at least brings one of the most dear tools to me to Ps. Kinda a culture shock for a traditional technique artist like myself. c.c'

I'm so glad I took note of this back when you got the DD on this.
