Painting a
filled Circle to use as Custom Brush image
|
Another way for
similar result is to paint a filled circle with the oval tool, and pick
up the image into a custom brush. That tool can also pick up an image
sequence, thus into a custom animated brush.
Start by selecting the oval, or ellipse tool. Click the tool's icon in
its lower right area, to get the filled version. If you click the
upper-left area of the icon, you get the empty (hollow) ellipse.
 |
To make it a perfect circle, you can use a snap grid from the Display
Settings panel:
|
Enable the Drawing
grid, and make it visible with the Visible grid checkbox too.

Copy
to Alpha, in two steps
|
You can copy the image of the filled circle to the swap buffer.
use the Image menu: Copy to swap
|
Then copy the Swap image to alpha.
If the image is a white filled circle on black background, your alpha
buffer now contains a nice selection of the circle.
You may have to invert alpha (from the alpha menu) if the circle was
black on white background.
|
Adding
a small black border around the circle.
|
Here's a trick: grow the selection in the alpha mask by a few pixels,
to add a border around the selected image.
Use the menu: Alpha > Grow Alpha...
 |
Set the desired size.
|
 If
you wanted to build just a regular single-frame custom
brush, you could now simply use "Use Selected as Brush" from the brush
menu.
The inner part would be a white filled circle, but a few more dark
pixels around it would also be selected because of having grown the
alpha region to include some of the black pixels.
|
However, we want to
go beyond the single-frame brush, and build this into an animation, to
make a custom animated brush consisting of many frames.
