Hi there again!

If you are like me, sometimes you get a base layer set that's got a few errors in it, or you are trying to make your own layers and you need just that something special to make it come out right. In PS and other programs there is something which can help you out. Choose your rectangle shape tool. Alt click on it and a menu should pop up and one of the selections should be custom shapes.

Then, you can go up to the top bar or wherever it is on your program and go through a whole library of custom shapes to choose from. What you do is create a new working image separate from the project you are working on. Choose the custom shape closest to what you want to achieve and draw it in your working image. Then, once drawn in the color you want, you can cut, copy paste or transform the image into what you want.

For example you can use the custom shape arrow to make pointy shapes of any kind for those nice points you need on your new or edited base layers.

Hope that helps!
