Photoshop Brushes! Im ashamed lol

[Dean]

Hey,

Well heres the deal, ive been using Photoshop for about 4 years now and I think I have gotten pretty good.

I have done quite alot of commercial work and believe graphic design as one of my best talents.

Then today, after 4 years I decided to look into brushes, after trying and not really bothering to look properly into them instead focusing on Vectoring and other parts of Photoshop I realised I have completely missed out from the uses of brushes!

I finally looked into them properly and realised that brushes are as important as alot of things in Photoshop and I wish I had looked properly into them years ago!

So for anyone knew to Photoshop, go get yourself some Photoshop Brushes from DeviantArt or Google!

I thought this could also be a place for people to share free brushes links/packs etc. So its not a completely pointless post :P

Thanks,
Dean

Brushes are amazing. I've been using them in PSP ever since i started designing graphics 2 years ago when i was 13.

Thought i'd share, for those few PSP userrs on here, if you see a .abr PS brush pack you want, but they don't provide image packs or stamps, i got this wonderful program called abrviewer, that you can view the brushes as individual images without having PS. It is truly a great tool. http://abrviewer.sourceforge.net/

One of my favorites for grungy/vintagey brushes, which a lot of my favorite brush sites are, is

(i will keep adding links so keep checking my post if you like)

Yeh Selena your the reason I looked into them because of your post I figured before that you had simply vectored all of your contact table images like the hearts and such :O

HAHAHAHAHA like i could do that! i suck at vectors. All my graphics are made using brushes, can't say that I've every really vectored anything. I'm still searching some of my favorite sites...

I'm good with vectors since I studied Corel Draw for almost a year, I don't have the program anymore though. Photoshop is much harder (at least the pen tool).

Anyways yeah, brushes are the best. Although some have stupid TOS.

Woo lol heres my first layout using some free brushes :)

Im really pleased with it considering the amount of time it took (not long).

haha Dean, I posted a topic exactly the same as this about a week or so ago, it's just below titled 'Brushes'. Yeh... I have absolutely no idea how we have lasted this long not only doing commerical work, but just messing about on our own projects without burshes.
