Do you see the layer of grass that the character is standing on? How would I make this kind of grass in Photoshop? It's not over-realistic and it's slightly cartoony. Great for the videogame I'm designing. So I need a way to create grass that looks somewhat like the one in the picture, with all the shading and what not. What's a good approach? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dalal

There is a grass brush in Photoshop 7.0 and higher versions. You could use that.

I did this photo just now so you can see Photoshop has a grass brush. You can easliy modify the brush too or you can create your own brush.

Thanks for the reply...

I knew about the Grass brush, but the grass looks too realistic, and the top of the grass should be a straight line. It's not the type of grass I want. Take a look at this grass in this DOS Mario game...



It has a cartoony black line on the top and it has a sort of gradient shading, it gets darker as it goes down and merges into the layer underneath. Look at the platforms closely. That's almost EXACTLY how I want the platforms to look in my game, they should be bigger though. How would I make something similar to this in Photoshop?

Sorry for being a newb...

Why don't you just tube out the grass from the graphic above, and use it?

Could be questionable copyright wise, but also there is value in learning how to do something yourself, as well. :)

I was thinking that same thing after I posted that..I guess it would matter if he is making a game for just himself or not..

And it would be a good lesson in Photoshop to try and make your own things..

Sorry, I retract that suggestion.. Cry

How's this? I used a pen tool, and made grass..duplicated it..It can be done more randomly..

The base is a gradient, with texture, I think it was lichen..
