How to use an image pack without making a single image into a brush.

Quick tutorial!

So, I'm not sure about you, but I collect image packs like crazy & never make them into brushes. But I do use them constantly, here's my little trick to make image look like brushes. :)

This makes them easy to make into a brushes but difficult to use as just the image.

To make it look like a brush without actually creating a brush, I make a negative image of the image.

Like so;

Then, I copy the negative image and paste it onto my base of choice.

I then choose a blend mode, different ones work differently so play around.

And that's that! Hope I helped someone as lazy as I. :P
