I was bored and annoyed with all the requests for 'dotted brushes' in all my brush communities, so I decided to make a tutorial on how to make them yourself. It's very easy, but if I've confused anyone, feel free to tell me. =) This, as are all my tutorials, is for Photoshop.

(As a point of reference, throughout all of this, the brush size I'm using is 5px with the hardness set to 100%. But you can use any setting you'd like.)

Open your brushes menu. This is NOT what I mean. If you don't know how, go to the Window tab and click brushes.

As you can tell by my neat little circle, we're going to be messing with the 'spacing' option. Play with the arrow and see what results.

For example: 


And here's what results:



So now you can go forth and sign a lot of dotted lines...or something. Hope it helped!
