Q&A: I need help with photoshop brushes?

Question by Sharon D: I need help with photoshop brushes?
Hi, so I am new to photoshop and was wondering when you download a brush (say angel wings for an example) when you put them on the drawing it is the one whole colour – can you make them 2 or 3 different colours?
Say like I wanted the top black the middle white and a few pink feathers in between – how do you do that?
Thanks x

A brush cannot be multicolored. You can only choose 1 color for your current brush at a time. The best way to make your angel wings colorful would be to:
Make a new layer behind your lineart
Select the angel-wing brush and the desired size
Choose 1 color for the brush that will be the most dominant.
After you stamp the angel wings where you want them on the new layer, select the “Lock Transparency” button in the layer panel
Choose another brush, select the desired color, and manually add the different color feathers you would like.
Hope this helps!

i would use the brush in pink – then select the parts i want want black and white with a selection tool – and then black and white (layer panel -> the white/black dot -> black and white)
or work in different layers.
