A stippling brush is a type of brush used to create a textured look on your artwork. There are a few different ways to create a stippling brush in Photoshop, but the most common method is to use the Brush tool.

To create a stippling brush, first open Photoshop and create a new document. Then, select the Brush tool from the toolbar on the left side of the screen.

In the options bar at the top of the screen, select a hard round brush tip and set the size to about 10 pixels. Next, open the Brushes panel by going to Window > Brushes. In the Brushes panel, select a dry media brush from the list of preset brushes.

Now that you have your brush selected, it’s time to start stippling! To do this, simply click and hold down your mouse button as you move your cursor around the canvas.

The longer you hold down the button, the more dots will be applied to your painting. You can also vary the pressure of your mouse button to create different effects. Experiment with different brush sizes and pressures until you find a look that you like.

When you’re finished stippling, go to File > Save As and save your document as a Photoshop file. Congrats, you’ve just created your very own stippling brush!
