<p><strong>Step one:</strong><br />
Start with a large white canvas, in your layers window make a new layer set. Name it Custom Head Mascot Web Graphic.<br />
Create a new layer then draw a 30 x 22 pixels, #7400FF ellipse using your ellipse tool. Use the fixed size setting under ellipse options to make the exact circle.<br />
Add the following layer styles:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/1dropshadow.gif" alt="Apply drop shadow" width="283" height="326" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/1innershadow.gif" alt="Step 1 inner shadow settings" width="284" height="289" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/1gradientoverlay.gif" alt="Step 1 Gradient Overlay" width="308" height="209" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/1.gif" alt="Output of step1" width="131" height="63" /></p>
<p><strong>Step two:</strong><br />
Now make the head, first create a new layer then draw a 60 x 97 pixels, #DF87FF ellipse using your ellipse tool. Use the fixed size setting under ellipse options to make the exact circle.<br />
Add the following layer styles:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/2innershadow.gif" alt="Step 2 Inner shadow" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/2gradientoverlay.gif" alt="Step 2 gradient overlay settings" width="280" height="185" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/2stroke.gif" alt="Step 2 stroke" width="295" height="234" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/2.gif" alt="Step 2 output" /></p>
<p><strong>Step three:</strong><br />
Create a new layer then draw a 13 x 29 pixels, black ellipse using your ellipse tool. Use the fixed size setting under ellipse options to make the exact circle.<br />
In your layers window set the layers blending mode to soften light and add the following layer styles:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/3innershadow.gif" alt="Step3 inner shadow setting photo shop" width="286" height="298" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/3gradientoverlay.gif" alt="Step 3 gradient overlay" width="295" height="203" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/3stroke.gif" alt="Step 3 stroke" width="274" height="287" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/3.gif" alt="3 output" /></p>
<p><strong>Step four:</strong><br />
Duplicate your glassy ellipse from step four.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/4.gif" alt="Step 4 final" /></p>
<p><strong>Step five:</strong><br />
In a new layer add two black circles. This will complete the eye structure of your mascot.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/5.gif" alt="Step 5" /></p>
<p><strong>Step six:</strong><br />
In a new layer create a 8 x 14 pixels, black ellipse. This will be the nose like structure.<br />
Add the following layer styles:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/6dropshadow.gif" alt="Step6 Drop Shadow" width="275" height="306" /></p>

<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/6.gif" alt="Step 6 output final" width="176" height="138" /></p>
<p><strong>Step seven:</strong><br />
Create a new layer then draw a 25 x 12 pixels, black ellipse. Use your ellipse tool to make the ellipse so you can use the fixed size setting under ellipse options to make the exact shape.<br />
Add the following layer styles:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/headmascot/7innershadow.gif" alt="Step 7 iner shadow" width="289" height="285" /></p>

<p>Adobe Photoshop let&#8217;s us to define our own custom brushes. Let&#8217;s see how to create our own custom brushes.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong></p>
<p>Start a new document of size 50&#215;50 pixels with a transparent background. Draw a circle using the <strong>Elipse Tool (U)</strong>. Holding shift while drawing the Elipse will result in a perfect circle.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/custom_brush/begining.gif" height="50" width="50" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong></p>
<p>Now select the Rectangular marquee tool and draw a vertical section ove the circle like this.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/custom_brush/vertical_selection.gif" height="81" width="80" /></p>
<p>and press the delete button. Similiarly draw a horizontal selction over the circle and press the delete button. This is what I got after doing that.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/custom_brush/final_brush.gif" height="50" width="50" /></p>
<p>We have now created our brush. Now we need to define it as a button.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong></p>
<p>Now go to <strong>Edit&gt;Define Brush Preset </strong>and give it a new name.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/custom_brush/brush_name.gif" alt="free brush creation" height="116" width="246" /></p>
<p>Now our brush is saved. Now we can select the brush from other set of brush.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/custom_brush/brush_saved.gif" alt="Create custom brush" height="172" width="353" /></p>
<p>Use your brush and have fun. You can also use text as your brush too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Learn to draw various shapes in photoshop. Very useful for newbie.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong></p>
<p>Start a new document of size 250&#215;250.<br />
We can create our shapes using the following tools</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/shapes/select-shapes.gif" height="419" width="250" /><br />
<strong>Step 2:</strong><br />
Let&#8217;s draw some shape using the rectangle marquee tool</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/shapes/shape1.gif" height="250" width="251" /></p>
<p>Use the Pain Bucket tool and fill some colour into the box</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/shapes/shape2.gif" height="250" width="250" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s draw some shape using the eleptical marquee tool</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/shapes/shapecircle.gif" height="253" width="254" /><br />
Use the Pain Bucket tool and fill some colour into the circle</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/shapes/shapecircle_fill.gif" height="250" width="250" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s use both rectangle and eleptical marquee tool to create other shapes</p>
<p>This is a bit tricky</p>
<p>draw a rectangle first and hold alt and draw circle over it using the eleptical tool and fill it with the paint tool<br />
I got this<br />
<img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/shapes/mix.gif" height="250" width="250" /></p>
<p>if u see clearly u can see the circle that i drew. I did it so that u get a clear picture.<br />
so that&#8217;s the trick holding alt to remove the part u don&#8217;t want and u can hold shift to add the circle to the rectangle.</p>
<p>let me show u what i got by holding shift when drawing a new circle over the rectangle.<br />
<img src="http://www.cooljeba.com/tutorials/photoshop/images/shapes/mix2.gif" height="250" width="250" /></p>
<p>that&#8217;s all now it&#8217;s on keep playing with various shapes.</p>
<p>here are some more examples<br />
