## Intention
-Along with the brushes already included, you can create custom brushes using three methods. Simple shapes
are created using th button labelled **New** at the bottom of the brush selection dialog. Complex black and
white brushes can be created by saving a grayscale image as using the .gbr file extension. The content of
such a brush is treated line an alpha-channel. This means that any pixel that is pure white is treated as
transparent. However, in this tutoria we will be creating brushes that use pictures with colour and this
brush will also have multiple images.

-IF you want the GIMP to be able to use your new brush, you have to save it in the "brushes" folder inside
your personal GIMP folder (for Linux and other UNIX systems, this is usually in "~/.gimp-2.2/brushes/"). So
select that folder and type in a name for the brush. For our example, the brush was named **happy.gih**
-The Save As Pixmap Brush Pipe dialog will ask you how you want to save the image. Since we have 3 layers
make sure to put 3 in the Ranks edit box. You can also choose how you want the images to appear as you move
the mouse aruond. In most cases Random will do fine.
-NOTE: The Spacing (Percent) means how much space is left before the next image is drawn. If the value is
lower, then the image will be drawn more frequently. You can also adjust this value in the Brush dialog.

-To see our brush, go to the Brushes dialog and hit the Refresh button. Our happy image should appear in the
dialog. If it doesn't, make sure you have saved the brush in the GIMP "brushes" folder and that it has an
extension of .GIH.
-You will note that our little picture on the right has a little red triangle in the bottom right corner.
This tells us that the brush contains multiple pictures. You can click on the brush image and hold the mouse
button to see a preview of the brush. The brush animation will show you that it contains the three images.

Let's test our brush. Select our brush from the brush dialog, create a simple image and start drawing.
