Here's my first attempt at custom brushes, I made one set for painting a space scene and the other is meant for painting the northern lights. I struggled a bit with the northern lights brushes, I had to combine a couple of them to get the desired effect, but overall I'm relatively happy with how it turned out. I do think there's room for improvement with all of these, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :)

ASSIGNMENTS

Practice what we discussed in this lesson and create a few brushes! Try different methods for creating the initial brush stamp, and experiment with different settings to see how they impact your end result. 

This assignment is geared toward helping you get some hands-on experience working with your drawing software's brush engine. The more you familiarize yourself with the brush engine, the more freedom you will have to get the exact texture and style you want in your paintings.

I made a few brushes as edits of brushes I liked or that I thought were similar to a function I was looking for, and I made the bottom 'acrylics' brush from scratch, which was difficult but the result turned out better than I expected!
