Thu Mar 22, 2007 4:55 pm [GIMP Tutorial] Simple grunge brushes -  Save this post |
|
|
Step 1
Create a new image of any size, though I have decided to make it 300px*300px. I will assume this is simple enough not to require a screen shot.
Step 2
Select the tool for creating hand drawn regions. You can do this by pressing the F key on your keyboard or by clicking on this icon  then make a random selection.
Step 3
On the bottom left side of your window next to your scroll bar, you should have a button to toggle the quick mask like so  Click on this to apply a quick mask.
You should now have something like this
Step 4
Go to Filters -> Noise -> Pick then enter these settings like so
Step 5
You should now have something like this
Now we want to remove the quick mask, so click on this button on the bottom left area of your screen  (same button you pressed to apply the quick mask).
Step 6
You should now have some marching ants around the edges of the shape you had after you applied the noise pick filter to it. Fill this selection with black and then you are done!
What you have now should look something like this
Now might be a good time to autocrop your image (go to Image -> Autocrop)
Step 7
To make your brush ready for use, simply flatten your image (Image -> Flatten Image), then convert to greyscale (Image -> Mode -> Greyscale).
Installing your brushes
The easiest way of installing your brush, is probably to select from the menu Script-Fu -> Selection -> To Brush.
Another way of doing it, is to save your brush to your GIMP brushes folder. For more information, try a help forum or asking google ...
