Von Glitschka shows how to take a speckled texture painted with an old toothbrush into Photoshop, and then turn it into several bitmap textures we can use with vector illustrations and designs in Adobe Illustrator.
- [Voiceover] So, you saw me hand painting…the paint swatches…that I've used to create my vector based art,…and I also hand created these splatter textures…using an old toothbrush.…Now, like the paint brushes,…I'll bring that into Photoshop…and this is one of those splatter textures…I created with the paint brush,…and if I zoom in on this,…I just want you to kind of…get a good feel of what I'm working with here,…you can see all it is is just little specks,…in this case, black paint,…but it's not distinctly black and white…because not all the pigment is full density,…some of it is pretty faint,…and has a lot of water to it.…
So that's why I want to bring it into Photoshop…because once again, I want to create artwork…that has a distinct black and white to it…and there's some adjustment I need to make to this,…but it's a really easy way to make a great texture asset,…once again, you can use for years moving forward,…because textures,…unlike certain things in regards to design,…is something that is never going to go out of style.…
