Testing brushes

To start this small testing page I used just triangles to make the background.
This process started as I was looking for something to help me create the waterfall as I was struggling deeply. I tried many different brushes and went through a bunch of different options, but this one being the most interesting, I decided to show, the simplistic pattern gives it a certain vibe that makes it actually not look bad,
 As the little art piece is used to test the brushes, I tested this brush by covering the whole page, seeing how it would look and how I would implement it on different objects and signs ect.
This particular brush, I saved as this could be used on a pattern, as a border and maybe even as a far away sign, giving the illusion of it saying something that you cannot read. I feel as this brush has the right amount of randomness and looks to actually be used.
I actually created this background as a test itself and thought it would be suitable to test out other brushes. This means that I will probably have this up a lot, so I could have my own little testing board that I could then even post to the blog to see what brushes that I made and used.
This was me using the background to test out some brushes. I was testing these by changing certain preferences and mostly using dual brush as it seemed to make the brushes look and feel a little better to use for different situations in Photoshop maybe even other drawing programs if I can transfer brushes.

Photoshop comp

An extremely silly Photoshop piece where I used http://eu2.flamingtext.com/ To make the words and cows from just searching "cow" on Google. I would send the link but as almost everything is blocked, it doesn't matter.
I made this game a couple years ago on scratch here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/20517317/
