It is a very amateur design tutorial, but it will make clear the use of brushes in various ways, including trees. This is a sample of how the trees are used in the art form. This first example is a straightforward one where I will try to show a collection of trees trying to depict a silhouette image of a cottage house in the sunset. Once you are comfortable with values and editing, just drag the brush in the canvas to see the effects. You can also experiment and practice as per your liking.Step 14: For example, I tried Scattering values, then I changed the angle value etc. I have just randomly played with the values for you to understand. Step 13: Select the Brush column in the menu, and you will see all the properties that we just discussed. We can even adjust the number of trees, spacing between them, angle at which they will scatter, shape in which they will be scattered all in one command by using Brush preset in the Window menu. Step 12: Many a time, manual scattering of the tree shapes in architectural layouts or jungle creation designing can be tricky or may even look haywire.

Step 11: Just click wherever you wish on the canvas, and you will see that the brush is sprayed in the shape of the tree that was edited. You can change the brush’s size too and flow type, but for now, let’s test this. In the properties bar, select Opacity to 60% for now. Step 10: Select the desired color from the color picker. Step 9: In the shape dialog box, you can see the latest shape of the tree that is created. Step 7: Once you see a dialog box rename this shape of the brush as Tree brush 1. Step 5: After clicking it, you will see that only the tree is selected. While keeping this selection, Go to Select and Inverse Selection. This will select all the white portion in the picture. Step 3: Select the Magic Wand Tool as shown in the picture below.
