In this video, I'm going to walk you through how to create a tree brush from a photograph.

We will first import a real tree photo to our canvas and then create 2 cool brushes with different settings.  I will show you the entire process step by step.  And in the end, we'll draw a simple landscape just to try out the new brushes.

It will look like this:

Before starting, you can download the reference tree image here for free

Below, you can download the color palette for the landscape drawing 

I also attached my versions of the 2 brushes in case you'd like to check them out.

What a great tutorial!!!!

Terri Venerozo

You duplicated “monoline” brush as the starting point for the new brush- is there a reason for that or can any brush be used?

Very helpful tutorial! I always wondered how tree stamps look so close to real ones. Thank you Tatiana.

Oh this is a great tutorial. I knew we could make brushes from photos. I didn’t know that we could change the gamma to help make it darker. Thanks for these tips
