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.
