This is my favorite image from Project 1 -- I only used one brush on a few of the Christmas tree lights to give them a little extra "twinkle". What I found interesting in using these brushes is the variety of effects you can achieve by tweaking the size and other options -- one brush can look very different depending on what you do with it.
The greatest challenge I faced in the process was trying to figure out what to do with the brushes. I think for most of my images I used them as "stamps" rather than for actual drawing, but in a few cases I was able to find creative ways to draw with them as well.
For future projects, I think I will use these tools in a lot of ways -- hopefully much more than I did for this project! As I learn more about them I'm sure I can find plenty of uses for them, but for now they're a good way to have fun with a picture and add just a few special touches. Eventually I'll use them for airbrushing or otherwise improving photos in a more subtle way. I'm sure they are also very useful for graphic design, especially the shaped ones.
