- Making arrows in Photoshop can be a bit time-consuming if you go about it manually each and every time. In this Photoshop tutorial you'll learn how to create any type of arrow from scratch, and then save them as brush presets to easily use them later on in future projects. This way you save yourself a ton of time and there's no messing around with shape settings. In this video, you'll learn three different ways to draw lines in Photoshop. The first and easiest way is with the line tool and adding an arrowhead, the second way is using a selection, creating a stroke, then manually adding an arrow head, while the third is using the pen tool to create a wavy arrow shape. With these three techniques, you'll be able to easily add any type of arrow to your projects with Photoshop!

Wicked cool! I love the techniques that are so simple yet profound! They leave you scratchin your head thinking, "Why didn't I think of that..?" Way more expandable than just trying to rely on complex paths or skewing of straight arrows! Thanks!
You Really make Photoshop look simple..... Thanks, hope there's more coming, actually counting on it.
Thank you. Working on a map, needed a curved arrow and the ellipse one worked great. Now if I could only master the pen tool!
Great video. Lines and arrows get me every time!!! so many permutations of settings for a simple task.
Thanks for your photoshop line tutorials. this one and the other line tutorial helped me with a project I'm working on
Can't believe there's really no magic arrow tool to easily create an arrow. This video did manage to help though so I really appreciate it. Although, would it be better to make arrows in Illustrator rather than Photoshop? I hear you have more flexibility when in Illustrator?
Great Video! Just what I was looking for! Thank you!!
Thank you so so much! You are the project savior ♥ This video is exactly what I was looking for.
You’re legit the best. You explained this so well.
Thanks .... you gave me the answer I needed within the first 30 seconds!
Great performance .Heading directly to the point in a profession way
Touche'. That was fast, easy, and clear!!! Thank you Brendan
Wow, thank you Brendan.
Just one thing, I am using Photoshop CS6 and "Triangle tool" don´t appear so what I find is that we should select polygon tool and specify in the properties tool sides:3
Thank you so much man, I can't believe it was so easy!!
Excellent! You're a great tutor.
Great tutorial Brendan. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're really good at explaining Photoshop.
Great presentation and content again. Sizing the arrows using the bracket keys once they are brushes?
Yes, exactly!
Thank you! from Cambodia.
Thank you! Very helpful
Very clear & easy to follow! One question though. When making a straight arrow with the line tool you can set the size of the head independently of the length of the line. That's good. However, it seems that if you save an arrow shape as a brush, you will lose that, right? The only way to modify the arrow is with transform. Doing that the entire arrow including the head can be expanded and contracted, so the arrowhead will grow and be reshaped the same.
very clear, thanks a lot!
Awesome! Thanks a lot.
Great tutorial!
Thank you so much.
Thanks, great help!
That's so true it is ridiculously hard to make arrows.
In Photoshop 2021 the Arrow shapes don't appear like they do in this video (at least in my CC 2021 version). You need to go to Window/Shapes then in the dropdown choose All Legacy Default Shapes.
Thank You!
All I have listed are Wild Animals, Leaf Trees, Boats, and Flowers. I'm here because I knew I used to... I just remembered there's a wealth of Emoji shapes in Photoshop. I'll find something there instead.
@@Mopki3 Same here. A bunch of useless crap I'll never need, but no arrows. Adobe is so frustrating.
Omg thanks
@@Mopki3 Did you find the arrows? Bring back Fireworks ... it was so intuitive!
Thanks. Great video.
Bro that helped me a lot, thank you so much
THANKS A LOT REALLY HELPFUL
It is infuriating that Adobe didn't just provide the option to just add an arrow to the end of a stroke using the pen tool in photoshop - especially since the option is there in illustrator. And the line tool only allows you to create straight 2 point lines. What if - and I know this is crazy - you want to create a line with a bent joint in the center that has an arrow at the end? I appreciate the video, but this is such a convoluted way to accomplish something that would be SO EASY if Adobe just gave the pen tool the same functionality in photoshop that they do in illustrator....sigh.....
Yes yes yes @Paul Zurbrugg it is infuriating. I am in no way proficient with either Ps Or Ai and I keep forgetting that they operate differently, I was looking for the arrowhead line in Ps and then realised after about an hour it was only in Ai!!! For heaven's sake why can't Adobe sort this out. This is still an excellent video to answer my problem thanks, @Brendan Williams.
Excellent!...cheeres from El Salvador
Cheers from Canada!
Thank you!
Your friking best it had anything i needed
Great!!! This video saved me lol.
thx mate!!
nice, how can you make one end of the tail of the arrow thin and the one which connects to the head thicker?
I instantly regret downloading Photoshop again 😆 Why is an arrow so difficult
All i have when i drop down that list are - Leaf Trees, Wild Animals, Boats and flowers. NO arrows. Can they be imported?
Awesome video, for once I finaly found a video that wasn't missing key details.
great sir
Glad you enjoyed!
I don't have the option of "Define Brush Preset" as a selectable option. What am I missing here? Thank you in advance... Great video!
I don't have those settings or those preinstalled arrows. do you knowload them?
Photoshop used to have a ton of arrow shapes preset, what happened? Or why do you think they got rid of them? The curved arrows were really useful and now its too difficult to bother recreating them.
which version of Ps is this Brenden ?
Why i am not getting the define brush preset enabled? all my layers are off except the arrow!
I have the same issue. "Define Brush Preset" is showing up in light gray... Could you help?
After making the curvy line and arrowhead, then merging the two layers -- I cannot get a selection of the curvy arrow. Instead when I try and make the brush it records the entire area of the layer so when using that brush I get a huge rectangular shape of the layer as the result.
Followed the tutorial to a 'T'.
When I went to the custom shape dropdown, it just gave me: trees, flowers, animals, and boats. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
same
Sorry, I should have specified this. This post explains how to get them as they are Legacy shapes: community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/where-s-the-old-shapes-gone-from-photoshop-arrows-icons-etc-now-we-have-boats-really/m-p/10717677
Even though I have the correct brush selected, the stroke path still gives me some big size, soft edges line. Did anyone have this issue?
when i release the mouse i do not hove an arrow with a triangle on top. please what i have to correct.
circle in the center appears and instead of triangle a small square on top.
When you are using the triangle tool? This can happen if the corner rounding setting is too high and makes the triangle a blob kind of. With the triangle tool selected, go to the properties panel then look for the Appearance options and adjust the edge rounding settings to 0.
@@BrendanWilliamsTutorials many thangs i did it.
@@BrendanWilliamsTutorials every time the arrow and the triangle appear with transform control and i have to press the enter key to finish it. why is that? is not like your video.
Didn’t see a triangle tool on mine💔😡
Why on earth does this have to be so difficult?
well wtf, i dont have that custom shapes tool, and cant find them -_- Tnx a lot for useles tutorial
I don't have arrows in my custom shape tool? I have animals, trees, and flowers? It's so frustrating!
As usual, there is a selection somewhere in PS that I need to find to allow me to change the size of the line once I create it. /sad trombone If this happens to you, here is how to fix it: th-cam.com/video/qDoZdcj26HQ/w-d-xo.html
This is 1000 x easier in Affinity Photo. I tried with Ps 24.1.0. Totally different workspace, couldn't figure out how to make the tools looking and working like here in the video. :/ Possibly some important steps are missing between video start and 1:54 ???
But you didn't show how to increase the arrow head sizes as we want..
It's time this video was upgraded to have the actual resolution clearer so the tools, options and even your video are clear. its too blurry on a 4K screen
my arrow has two heads its looks like a star on the end :(
What is going on with your eyes my guy.. That aside, good tutorial 👍🏻
Hah.
I do not have any arrows in Custom Shape Tool.
Why didn`t you say anything about this?
i dint have any arrows there i only have animal shapes
1) Title misleading
2) there are no triangle shapes nor arrow shapes in my photoshop (2020 I guess) so video should begin with what to do in that case .
Useless because the arrow is no longer there, but I can select TREES, wild animals and boats!
This is the comment I needed to see.
I found the solution though. You have to add the legacy shapes. go to WINDOW >> SHAPES >> click the 3 lines at the top right of the window, then click LEGACY SHAPES. Then search for ''arrow' and it will be there.
why cant there just be an arrow to insert. oof
i dont see arrows mine has fckn wild animals and boats bra. i need to meet sombody who uses the boat tool😂😂
lies! how is this one click?!
When you create an arrow brush preset, it can be one click with the brush tool.
Wayyyt to hard
I have to agree. In something like CS3 it was very, very easy, to create arrows. Why do the Photoshop developers think they are improving a product by making it intractable is beyond me.
your one eye is shrinking every time you speak
Thank you for pointing out what I already knew and cannot control 🤣
10 mins to explain 1 click?
i dont know why u talking alot just go ahead to the topic thats all
love form Bangladesh
The stroke option does not work. PS is crap.
Thank you so much.
