Program: Adobe Photoshop CS4 (But can be followed by older versions)
Level: Easy/Basic
(Will have another tutorial of the same style as last time coming soon; right now, I'm on a deadline and don't have much free time before April.)

This is a very simple tutorial for

uninvitedgrace .  She was looking for some 100x100 Circle Masks.  So, we’re going to learn how to make our own brushes today!

  (Even if you don't want to make circles, this tutorial will teach you how to make and save your own brushes. ^_^)

 

If you want to learn how to do circle masking, ch_photoshopped has a nice, simple tutorial (and brush set, too!) here.

It's really easy to make your own circular brushes.  (If you don’t want to take the time to make them, however, you can download the brush set I made during this tutorial here.

(I made these using CS4; I'm not sure if older versions can use these brushes or not.  All versions of Photoshop, however, are able to follow the tutorial!)

Okay, after discussing Photoshop stuff with dablackrose , I've decided to try my hand at making tutorials here.  I haven't used this journal in forever, I know.  I'm really behind on posting icons!  I'll need to start doing that again.

I'm also going to start using this journal to make tutorials.  I've never done this before, and I'm starting very basic b/c I think DBR is bringing other people into this (and they may not have any Photoshopping experience), but I'll gradually work my way up to bigger things!

Today for our first tutorial, we're going to make this icon:
