: Creating a text website logo using a tablet (for a beginner) My girlfriend is a very keen drawer, and would like to somehow transfer her ideas from paper onto the computer - she's drawn many
My girlfriend is a very keen drawer, and would like to somehow transfer her ideas from paper onto the computer - she's drawn many different versions which she wanted to scan in, but I figured it'd be better for her to use Photoshop and a tablet so it's in a format that's easier to work with rather than a flat image/scan
The problem is, everything she's trying isn't working. I'm not a computer novice by any means, but even the simplest things seem incredibly complex - it took me ages to figure out how to get a simple black brush (seemingly changing the colour to black didn't work, it looked muddy and washed out) but the effect is really terrible.
So in a roundabout way, I guess my main question is what brush is good for a fancy text logo? If I can at least pick a good brush for her to play around with it'd be a massive step in the right direction. Thank you :)
(she's getting quite frustrated with the tablet/photoshop as I type this "Ahhhhh, I don't even want a logo now, this is ridiculous!" etc etc, sorry again for being somewhat vague, just really want to help point her in the right direction!)

what brush is good for a fancy text logo?
That's somewhat of a contradictory question. Text is text, you shouldn't need a brush.
In reality, although a tablet can be exceptionally useful, it's often not a replacement for good, old fashioned, pen and paper. Many professionals still practice and advocate drawing on paper and scanning. If for nothing else, the initial design phase.
The freedom and familiarity that pen and paper give is very difficult to replicated digitally unless you are using something like a Wacom Cintqu, where you draw directly on the screen. Often the hand-eye coordination it takes to draw on a tablet sitting flat on a desk while looking at a screen in front of you can throw off the best artists.
For a logo, I'd really suggest using Adobe Illustrator rather than Photoshop. The best workflow I've found is to draw, by hand, on paper, scan, and then use the scan as a template to recreate artwork within Illustrator.
As for a "best brush"... there's really no such thing. Every person is different and every style is different. What works for some may be entirely wrong for others.
