Hello!
I searched this forum and online before posting this. I am looking to make a Dalmatian effect to put on text. I have Cruella in white with a black shadow effect (same text in black in back and shifted 5 pixels down and left). I'm wanting to generate dots on the white text. I tried using Broken Spray brush but the dots on the spray are too small. I also tried using halftone effects with the dots screen but those dots are too symmetrical.
Can anyone point me to a brush or a tutorial on how to accomplish this?
I did find the tutorial on creating your own brush https://www.pixelmator.com/support/guid ... r-pro/782/ and adding texture under Advanced but there is a lack of documentation on "texture", "shape", and "grain". I've tried some .png files I found but it does not apply them as a texture when I drag them from my desktop to shape or grain.
Thanks in advance for your help!

SOLVED!
Drop and Drag of image from desktop to Shape in the brush advanced settings was not working on my MacBook. I used the import button and it worked. I found a random "dalmatian spots" .jpg. I'll attach it here.
Brush Definitions:
General - Brush Spacing set to 67%
Shape - Change Horizontally to 90%
Grain - Change Scale to 200%
Scatter - Change Size Scatter to 10%
