Hello in this tutorial I will be showing you how to create custom shapes for Photoshop.

We will be using Adobe Photoshop for this tutorial.

Section 1 - Preparation

I will be using an image from Google to create the Microsoft Xbox 360 Logo as a custom shape.

I found the image I will be using


Once your all set with the image in Photoshop, you can proceed.


Section 2 - Drawing

1. Select the Pen tool.

and make sure your drawing in pen mode (unless you can free-hand it) and paths is selected.

2. Start making anchor points wherever you like. To Add or subtract from the path, make a new path (if not already done) and copy the whole image and paste in your original work path.


3. Once it's complete move on to the next section.


Section 3 - Shaping

1. Right click on the path and select "Define custom shape" or go to Edit > Define Custom Shape
2. Name it whatever you want and click "OK"


Section 4 - Testing

Make a new image and go to "Custom Shape Tool."
At the top, there should be a drop-down toolbox that shows different shapes, select your custom one.
Draw with it!

Here is my final result:


Here are some others I made:
