Questions About Brushing

I was reading Kazuya's first tutorial and decided to try it out..

its here:http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=94326

im confused in step 3...i created a new layer and brushed white and chose color overlay and it looks nothing like what his tutorial does...

any help?

 

ok, well does anyone have any tips they could give me?

 

maybe ask the maker? dumb question i gotta say, why ask us but not the maker who knows it more

 

wrong place to do this
