Corel Painter, Photoshop,and Illustrator Tutorials

A video tutorial showing how to easily add your signature to a digital painting

You can easily add your signature to your Corel Painter paintings by making a custom brush. This video tutorial shows you how easy that is.

Here are the written instructions but before trying to follow these I suggest that you watch the video once or twice.

1. Make a new file at about 8″ x 8″ at 300ppi

2. You can probably chose any brush category but for your first signature brush I recommend the “Oils” category and then choose the “Flat Oils 40″ as your variant.

3.To the right of the variants click the little arrow and choose  “Save Variant” and then give a name to your new brush. Why not name it   My Signature.

4. Now click on the brush variant and scroll down to the bottom and you should see your new brush. Click on your new brush to select it.

5.Set your color to black and opacity to 100%. Now write your signature on the canvas. Keep writing your signature til you get it looking good.

6. Now choose the “Rectangle Selection” tool and then click and drag a square around your signature.

7. Go back to the little arrow to the left of the brush variant and click on it and then choose “Capture Dab” and you have now made your signature into a brush shape.

Here is an odd but fun tutorial using Corel Painter. This is especially good if you happen to know someone who has a big mouth like maybe a teenager.  Don’t know what I’m talking about? Just watch the video.

In this video tutorial we will get our brushes all set up and ready for us to start painting. Click on the photo to watch the video.

In the previous tutorial we set up our brushes. Now we are ready to start painting. Click on the photo to watch the video tutorial.

This video will show you how to do the painting using Layers. The last tutorial showed how to do the painting just using one layer but I kinda like using layers and I think you will too. Click on the photo to watch the video.

Have you just opened up Painter and don’t know where to start? I have a  video tutorial that  will show you how to get started using the brushes in Painter. Just go to my Corel Painter Tutorials page and watch the     How to Use The Brushes tut.
