    I had a big phase of making brushes,and i really enjoyed it.
    The most difficult one was a Sunset brush. I spent some time trying to make this,but in the end i gave up. The most difficult part was using the eraser tool to keep making the light fade down from the Sun. I do more or less the same has his video showed.

    Hi, i love Brusheezy! I have been doing graphic design as a hobbies for many years and just recently decided to dive in Photoshop. I used
    Coreal and Jasic Paint Shop before, but I am self taught and sometimes they can seem so difficult. So far I've been creating and using Photoshop everyday to learn all I can and I've made so many patterns/styles/brushes....this program is so addicting! I am hoping to make design a career one day and I am always searching for all things design online and came across Brusheezy and love it. Thanks for all you share!

    Great tutorial! I learned a lot. However, my fav part is when you said, "I love comets of death". That was funny. Anyhow, keep up the good work. I am off to make some brushes now.

    Hi Shawn just watched your Tut and Wow, You created a stunning brush set and I cannot believe how simple you made it look. Excellent work and you have inspired me to go play. I have a fear of clicking on the unknown and being relatively new to designing you have given me a new confidence. Thankyou Sooooooo Much!!
