Using brushes in Adobe Photoshop Ep12/33 [Adobe Photoshop for Beginners]

In Photoshop, one of the most creative tools is the brush tool. As you create in Photoshop you will find the brush tool being used in all sorts of creative scenarios such as drawing, painting, erasing, refining, creating textures and masks.

In this tutorial, I will be introducing you to the brush tool, demonstrating how it works and giving you some tips on what to look out for when using it.

Enjoy

**FYI**
In this video tutorial I will be using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 for mac. Almost all of the principles demonstrated and covered will apply to future and previous versions. Some differences may apply if you are using a previous or future version.

Another *BRUSH TIP* to modify the *Brush Size* and *Hardness* more quickly:

Press *Alt+ Mouse Right Button* and move horizontally (Right - Left axe) to modify size, and Vertically (Up - Down axe) to modify Hardness.

Make this technique become second nature and fasten even more your workflow.

Thanks Gareth and Cheers for all the beginners crew.
