Photoshop custom shape tool

Written by Steve Patterson.

In a previous tutorial, I showed you how to draw basic shapes in Photoshop, like rectangles, circles, lines and polygons, using the geometric shape tools.

This time, you’ll learn how to draw more elaborate, pre-made custom shapes. And Photoshop gives us two ways to draw them. One is with the Custom Shape Tool, and the other is with the Shapes panel.

This tutorial covers both.

Photoshop includes hundreds of custom shapes to choose from, but most of them are hidden by default. So along with showing you how to draw shapes, I’ll show you where to find all of the shapes that are missing.

And once we know how to draw one shape at a time, I’ll show you how to combine and merge two or more shapes together, and how to save the result as a new custom preset.
