Anything can be made into a brush in Photoshop. Let’s take a feather, for example. Transforming a feather into a brush is a simple trick.
First, you must find or take a photograph of a feather. Make sure the background is white.
Select the feather with any selection tool. Do not worry about the background. White will simply become transparent.
Then, go to edit > Define Brush Preset >
Name and save your brush.
You can adjust the opacity and the blending mode if you wish.
The brush will always be saved as black and white. Once your feather is a brush, you can change its colors. Make sure you space the brush in the brush box.
Lastly, draw and play to your heart’s delight!
