ART 220 11: Brushes From Your Own Marks

Tuesday, September 29

Your mark sheet becomes a set of brushes. Three illustrators whose texture comes from their own hand, pictures only: Jon Klassen, Owen Davey and Tom Haugomat. Then how to turn a scanned mark into a brush tip in Photoshop, and into Art and Scatter brushes in Illustrator. Exercise 4: three brushes from your own marks, a line, a tone and a texture, a test sheet, and one brush tried on your poster. After the break, drawing time. The drawing is due finished Thursday, when we scan it in class.

Brushes from your marks

Turn the marks on your mark sheet into three brushes, test them on a sheet, and try one on your poster. A brush made from your own hand matches the line you inked, and the ones that ship with Photoshop never will.
