I had downloaded a Lego Brush set that was "ok" but due to the transparency of each brush, made them difficult to effectively use them. Here I have made a set of 14 brushes and wanted to share them.

This image was made with them.
(Pardon the shadows. My eyes were wonky and it just doesn't look right.)
(Also I took out the blocks behind/below the white one, just for the openness.)

Thank you very much, PhotoMaster. I don't think Legos ever go out of style.

I was playing with PhotoMaster's lego brushes. I thought that a different perspective brush would be easier for what I was trying. So I created one lego block in Inkscape and coloured in 8 different colours. Then opend in Gimp and converted to brushes. Here they are:

It is important to keep the sizes of the brushes relative to each other the same. The easiest way is to use Gimp's Reset to Native Size:

It is also important to set the brush spacing correctly:

This is the house that Lego built:

To see how it was done, download the attached xcf file. Select the bottom layer, then Shift-Click on the eye to make all but the bottom layer invisible. Then work your way up one layer at a time, making each layer in turn visible. How to use the brushes will become evident.

Hi Blighty.

Very good concept and implementation of brushes.
Now I would like more types of blocks: doors, windows and roof ...

Example from LEGO Digital Designer (free for Mac and Windows platforms)

Blighty,
These are sweet! Thanks Muchly!

MareroQ,
I definitely will be playing with the Digital Designer. I had played with it once, a short time ago, but totally forgot about it. Thanks!
