Tutorial Title: Bullet hole / Scorch mark
Program: Adobe Photoshop

[1] First of all, select a texture, or picture you wish to add scorchmarks too. In this example I'm using this basic metal looking gradient.

[2] Now, select the paintbrush tool and on a new layer, paint a small drop where you want the center of your scorch mark to be. In this example i've used the brush setting's as followed:

Brush: Soft round 9 pixels
Opacity: 61%

[3] Now what we are to do, is select the smudge tool. In this example i've set the smudge tool settings to the following:

Brush: Soft round 13 pixels
Strength: 66%

Then, using the smudge tool, begin to smudge the circle outwards, trying to keep it as even & clean as possible.

As I said, it's a basic technique which can be used on a wide array of textures. It can take alittle practise to get the scorch as you desire. But it's pretty much common sense.

The technique itself is easily transferrable in relation to creating other types of wear and tear; I've used the technique time and time again and it's never failed.

Using smaller brushes & smudge tool, you can also use this same technique for bullet holes.
