Painting Stars Using Photoshop Very Easy.

There are several ways to paint stars with a brush. The most easiest way is to define a brush. First download a picture in this case a star. In photoshop go to 'image' then 'resize' and resize the picture let's say 285 by 279 pixels.If you do not want the black background  just the star itself ,then use the magic eraser tool to erase  its background.

Now you're ready ,simply go to 'edit' and then click 'define brush' and that's it.  The define brush will be the last  in your menu of  brushes.

Now  if the black background was erased via the magic eraser tool the define brush image will just be that of  a star itself.

Now to add color simply go to 'window' in your photoshop ,choose 'swatches' and choose  your favorite color.You can use your define brush to paint or just use your define brush as a stamp tool which I have in the picture below.The following picture I had used a flowered pattern stamping a flower one at a time.

Now the define brush or even a 'define pattern' for that matter is handy if you want to set up a digital signature.

Another trick:   Suppose you use the photoshop's pencil at its lowest pixel level, Can't see it?  Well, simply go to 'enhance' then click 'invert' if the pencil was writing in black  it will show up white. When done just 'invert' the picture again.
