Photoshop Video Tutorial: Making a Signature Brush
Written by Timo on March 26, 2010 – 6:36 pm -Here is a fun photoshop Video tutorial on how to make a signature brush.
There are a number of different ways to use this brush. As you will see in the tut, I used type. You could just as easily use your stylus and sign your name, then turn that into a brush so you have a consistent signature for your digital art creations with just one click. Let me know how you use this and what you think.
Enjoy!

Hi Tim,
I haven’t done this before, so, when I hit the submit button
do I get the Tutorial Video to watch, or download, or do I get a
web address?
Thank you for your help and information!

Hi Dorothy-we love to post high quality tuts. You can send them to Tim here at the mag and we can take a peek. We are always looking for magazine content as well.

Hello,
Simple and to the point. There\’s a couple questions I have. What about the size? When I think of a signature, I think of a small one. So is this signature vector or bitmap? Since it\’s in Photoshop, I assume it\’s bitmap. I guess reducing it isn\’t an issue if you start by making it large first, but vector would always be sharper.

Hi Mark,
The size of the brush can be changes with the transform function is PS. Cntrl>T. I use my signature and change it to whatever size is appropriate for the prints. I sign originals and limited editions by hand and use the brush for open or unlimited editions.

Can you sign on a piece of paper, take a picture of it and make it a brush? Instead of scan it…? I did that but when I go to Edit, the option “Define Brush Preset” is not a option Photoshop allow me to use…I tried JPG, TIFF and PNG but still won’t work… Why? is scanning it the only way to make your own hand written signature a brush? Please help. Thanks! :0)

Hi Maria-
Sure you can take a pic of your signature. I dont know why you dont have define brush preset as an option, mine gives me the option when I Right click so perhaps you have something turned off or missing in the presets area, that is all I can think of. Sorry.
