Gimp Tutorial: Creating Variable Sized Brushes
Please comment and rate videos - this will help other people find them by ranking them higher...it takes a second 
--- I meant to upload this ages ago but forgot... I like the sound of my own voice too much! If you wanna skip the pointless prologue then skip to around the 3 minute mark! That is an unforgivable amount of pointless waffle on my behalf!

It’s been possible to scale brushes since version 2.4.

can u tell me why when I download SOME gimp brushes,… they are TOO huge.. like eye shadows or hair textures… They are wayyyy bigger then any pic I could use. Not all brushed load like that.. just ones like that.. maybe some boarder brushes.. is there a way to fix that?

your voice is so soothing.

Looks like you are using gimp 2.4 if so, use the square brackets to size the brushes. That said, I too have made a Dynamic brush that I can change the size and hardness of on the fly.

I made this tutorial 3 months ago…I practically only ever use square brackets myself now!

The Dynamic brush is used with my wheel mouse. Oh and the Pepper and Vines and Spark brush can be used for FX. Try this with a small canvass at first to see what you think, but fill a layer with any one of those brushes. Hide that layer and use it as a source for a bump map or a displacement map.
Thanks for the Tutorials! Looking forward for more.
