I was playing around in Photoshop and found a good way to make a brick wall; I'm not sure if this method has ever been taugh or used before, but this is the first time I've seen it/done it.
1) Open up a new document, size is up to you.
2) Press "D" to get default colors and "Ctrl + Backspace" to fill in the whole layer black.
3) Add noise; set amount to "30" and check the Gaussian option and the Monochromatic checkbox. Press okay.
4) Apply a Wind filter 5 times.
5) Apply the Crystallize filter (Filter > Pixelate > Crystallize), setting cellsize to it's smallest, which is 3.
6) Apply a brick texture; Filter > Texture > Texturizer. Scaling should be at it's fullest, 200, reliefe should be anywhere between 10 to 20 depending on your liking. Make the ligh source come from any direction, except TOP or BOTTOM, because you won't be able to see the whole brick shape. Do not check the Invert checkbox.
7) Bring up the Hue + Saturation box (Ctrl + U) and check the "Colorize" checkbox. Now, you can control the hue, saturation, and lighting to your liking for any color you want, but for a good realistic brick color, have Hue at 0, Saturation at 28, and Lightness at -17.
Enjoy! :roll
