How To Make Textures
Hello guys :)
Here I'm gonna show how we can make some simple yet nice and very basic textures on our own. No, they don't look like the lovely textures we download from deviantart and tumblr etc. They are quite simple and can be coupled with other textures..
I'm gonna use some (pre loaded) features of PS like filters, gradients, patterns, etc. (I'm using ps cs6)
If you have questions like what is a gradient? What is a pattern? How do I apply a gradient? Then please google your question.. trust me www.google.com is an awesome and fabulous website😛 Or else, you can always PM me!
ps. It has many images..let it load😳
Texture 1
1) Open a new image of size 3px*3px (yes it should be that small :P)
2) Zoom it to maximum (3200% in my PS. don't know about yours!) so that you can see what you're doing clearly.
3) Fill in with white color.
4) Using rectangular marquee tool (settings shown), select the 3 diagonal boxes only as shown in the screenshot below.
5) Fill in those selections with black color.
6) Go to Edit>Define Pattern. Save it with any name you want.
7) Now open your sig, get the paint bucket tool, select pattern from the I-don't-know-which bar, fill in your sig and set it to darken.
Final:
The awesome texture which many of you guys keep searching for is made!
If you think that the lines are way too close for your liking, then you have 2 options:
-- reduce the opacity
-- when u make the texture, instead of a 3*3 px image, open a 5*5 or 6*6 or any size image and fill the pixels aong the diagonal. Here's what a 6*6 will look like:
An example where I've used this texture (I've reduced the opacity and have most probably used the 6*6 one I don't remember exactly :P):
Texture 2
1) Open a new image of any size and fill it with a dark gray color (not black). I've used #151313
2) Duplicate the layer (Shortcut: Ctrl+J)
3) Select the top layer, go to Filter>Pixelate>Color Halftone...
4) Then set that selected layer to darken.
And your texture is ready. To use one your sig, set it to screen.
Used here..Opacity is very less and I've erased a lot of parts
(^Look at the lest side below 'Maan' or look to the right of the red heart. That's the texture)
Texture 3
1) Open a new image and fill it with some color u want. I've used #362f2f
2) Filter>Filter Gallery
3) Play around with the filters and you'll get some really pretty results. Some are shown below.
I've used this herein the background: The color is white and the filter applied is Texture>Texturizer
Texture 4
1) We're gonna use the gradient tool. See my settings below.
2) Next, make another layer and fill it with another gradient.
3) Change the blending to anythings you like, eg lighten, screen, etc. I've set it to Exclusion.
4) Merge all the layers. This make a nice texture by itself. But we can add more details to it too.
5) Go to the filter gallery and help yourself with the filters. Examples:
Texture 5
This is not exactly but somewhat similar to the rain effect..
1) Open a new image and paint it black.
2) Go to Filter>Noise>Add noise (settings shown).
3) Go to Filter>Blur>Motion Blur (setings shown).
Texture 6
1) Open a new image and paint it black.
2) Make a new layer. Select a round brush. I've set the settings as radius=52px and hardness=50% and the color is #b3b127. Dab the brush randomly on it.
3) Now to the brush layer, apply outer glow with the settings shown.
Another example:
We can download brushes for these textures or download the textures themselves but this is just what you can do when you have only photoshop without any extra brushes or anything!
And your textures are ready! Any questions, ask me :)
