This chapter has shown you three ways to create textures for use in digital paintings. There are, of course, as many ways of making textures as there are of creating digital art. The techniques shown here should be only a jumping point for your own explorations. In the next chapter, we will go over Photoshop's powerful brushes. You will learn how to manipulate the default brushes to get them to behave as you would like, and you will learn how to create your own completely new, custom brushes.
