Name it, in this case I name it CM Rocks and press ok. Next, you want to go to edit > define brush presetĪnd you’ll get a dialog box that prompts you to give your brush a name Once you’ve done this, you will have marching ants around your selection (which is the entire document). You can do this by going to select > all or by pressing ctrl + a on PC or cmd + a on a Mac. Once you’ve entered your text, you want to select all. When you do this, you will see a new text layer in the layers palette. Click on the text tool to add your text to the document. Enter 1 for the height and 3 for the width and 300 for the resolution. The first step is to create a new blank document. One on one demonstrations are key but giving them tasks to complete outside of our sessions are just as important so that they can get a real 'feel' for how each tool and process responds to one another.Continuing on with what I said last week, that time is money and the main goal is to speed up your workflow, I wanted to do a quick tutorial on how to create a watermark in Photoshop and then turn it into a brush. My goal is to arm my students with the knowledge of how to combine the fundamentals of this program, or similar programs, in order to create leverage and work intelligently. Photoshop in particular is a vast program where the correct path to a certain effect or outcome isn't always obvious. I take a very hands on approach to teaching, I vastly prefer live demonstrations and visual guides in order to get complex ideas across to anyone that I'm tutoring. For more advanced students I can get into the technical aspects of technique, how to utilize photoshop, create brushes and texture maps as well as my own personal process tips. I can provide insight into the fundamentals such as color theory, composition, narrative and perspective. My skillset has allowed me to produce a variety of work for clients such as tattoo designs, sci-fi concept art, natural illustrations and depictions of ancient extinct species, and album covers.

I'm a determined artist that has a wealth of knowledge to share and give to people wanting to learn how to break into this industry or simply hone a skill for fun. I'm a digital painter that has spent over a decade of my life in Adobe Photoshop as well as graduating from Montserrat College of Art with a bachelor's degree in illustration.
