How to Make Vector Brushes on Gimp

Video Transcript

"O.k., now I'm going to show you, if you've ever used, if you've ever seen the program Gimp, it's kind of like a free image kind of manipulation program. A little bit like PhotoShop, I guess, that is an open source program you can find on-line. And I'm just going to quickly show you how to make your own like, Vector Brush using Gimp. As you can see, I've just started a document here, real quick. And I've just used these circle clips over here, drew out a circle, filled it with black using the paint, what do you call it? The paint bucket over here. Maybe here you got your layers and what not, let's lay it down real quick. But say, we try and make the circle here, a Brush. So what we do is you know, just go to Select and select the Row. And you want to make sure you know, it's saying, picking, picking out what you want. You want to go down to Crop to Selection. So, you know, say you had it any bigger than that, you're not picking up any of the excess around the circle you've got here. And simply, to make this a Brush to use, go to File, go to Save As and down here you go through the arrows. Go to Select File Type by Extension, and you should get a whole bunch of different options over here. And what you want to find is this one, the Gimp Brush, the GBR, so you know, call that you know, Circle, and save it. And make sure it's saved in the Brush folder in your Gimp Program files. Otherwise, the next time you import up Gimp, it won't come up in your Brush folder, on this side over here. So ya, that's how you go about making a Vector Brush in Gimp."
