Creating a Brush
Step One
Open a new image. The width and height is up to you, depending on the size you want your brush to be. Just make sure the image's background is checked in for Transparent like below:
Step Two
Now draw something you want as a brush. Make sure that you drew it black.
Step Three
Now click the brush tool (if you hadn't clicked it already)
Step Four
Now look at the icon on the right of all your brushes. Click it. (The icon is outlined green in the picture below)
Step Five
This box should appear. Choose a name, and press "Create."
Step Six
Then look for your brush and test it! :)
