The Brush sharing thread!

[popeslattz]

Here's a different use for a brush. I created this for a challenge at graphics.com. Don't know if anyone could use this, but it might give some inspiration...

Some really cool and useful looking brushes here. Can't wait to give them a try. Thanks to all who posted them and hosted them!

[bupaje]

I have recently created a few small sets of brushes. All are available on this page http://stormvisions.com/pages/freebies/photoshop.php



You can preview the brushes in each set before downloading. I would appreciate feedback.

Thanks for sharing in this thread, I'm off to see what's available.

Thank you everyone who posted your brushes, I just got my tablet a few days ago and I'm just now figuring out how all the crazy fun brush dynamics work... now I just need to figure out how to use them effectively. =)

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and what a great site! i downloaded whit's interior tutorial (fantastic!) He says he uses a chalk brush for most everything but with what i have I can not seem to recreate it.

can anyone provide some insight. is it standard or is it a matter of customizing until your satisfied? I have cs2

thanks for any advice!

[LA-Fairy]

Hi!

I have created some chainmail brushes from my original chainmail clothing.

In case here´s someone in need for them, chainmail is hard to get.

I'm very surprise this thread havent been created yet. However I don't see it anywhere.

I'm strong believer that is best for each of us to create our own brush since we made them for us. I also believe
it is good to see how does everyone else around us, it make us learn together. I'm also a stong believer in sharing.

This is why I'm creating this thread, I've seen a lot of people asking for brushes how to create them and I fint it hard
to search in a 15 pages thread.

This place is not meant to explain on how to create them. If you want to know how to create them look here:
http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=47859

On a side note I'd like to say that is not recommended to use 100% someone else brushes unless you feel confortable with it.
I'm sure you can start from a brush and make it fit to you. Sometime I see nice brushes effect but Is not the shape I want,
So I make my own shape and refine the brush to fit me.

Please keep it clean and make a thumbnails, the whole idea is to get a little library.

I hope you'll find good help here and learn something

Let the sharing begin!

great tips. I enjoyed reading this

Need frost, snow or clouds to enhance that wintertime image?

I just released a HUGE collection of Photoshop Dynamic Cloud, Frost and Snow brushes - dynamic means that they AREN'T stamps. Check them out: Arctic Gale Brushes

They are only $3 - but if you want some for free...

Checkout my Frost & Tip brushes for free here: Frost & Tip

I've tested them in CS2 & CS3 and they work fine in both versions - so have at it peeps!

I tried to download the Blur's good brush 4.0 by using the second download link he supplied. It opened a new window and all I got was the file name, file size, and a message that said accesing file, please wait. How long should it take?! I waited for a while and nothing happened. I would really like those brushes.

[thinsoldier]

You'd think Adobe would have realized by now the need for a centralized photoshop brush community/.abr database....

[thinsoldier]

Note: I use a ton of brushes, some made up on the spot but also many of Bumskee's - BaRONTiERi's and Alday.J's. I also change the settings constantly if I find something lacking or unsatisfactory. Just play around with these, maybe they have some use to you?

Hello people! It's time to share here my own brushes. I've created this sets scanning some real splats and ink drops and trying to obtain a natural media feeling right there, inside Photoshop CS3.
Most of the brushes that I found through the years are just "stamps" without any configuration, so I don't want to paint with a rubber stamp!

The first "Artistic Set" was created a year ago:



Artistic Brushes Pack #1 (The post is in spanish and english)

the second one its a little bigger (and better):





Artistic Brushes Pack #2

Here's a video showing how each brush works:

Alex Dukal - Artistic Brushes v2.1 - Video

I wish to have a few more brush controls inside Photoshop! Something like Corel Painter Watercolours, Impasto and a control for gravity would be nice too! But who knows "when" ...

[Tonic]

Hey, Dukal, these brushes looks very promising, as Photoshop is poor in imitating traditional medias. I'm downloading it right now. About license, I have a question about non-commercial use. Does using brushes in work means a commercial use, even if I wouldn't get paid thanks directly by brushes?

[Dukal]

The CC license is mainly for those who want to include the brushes in CDs / DVDs and make some money, that's not allowed! I want to keep this sets for free.
There's no problem with collegues that want to use the brushes in personal or commercial artworks (of course, a link back is allways welcome).
Is that understable?

I'm creating some Watercolour Brushes in CS3, this is a preview:

[sebdrew]

The watercolours effect looks very good... I was searching for a long time for brushes like these.

[SHAP00PI]

Heres the real pencil brush I created, I feel kinda embarassed that there is only one to share, but it is a quality one, mimics the real pencil to a tee I believe, small size for sketching, large size for shading!

[feral714]

Pencil is a basic round with texture set to height

the 'pastel' is lightly textured to go with the level of texture of the other brushes, pretty fine. It is a flat brush with angle set to initial direction so it'll give a calligraphy effect if you do a long curve with it. If you set it to direction it'll be a little more jagged. I use it for small strokes though. I should probably make it a square brush.

The other 3 "Textured...." brushes are my attempt to make a pencil shading brush. Angle is set to direction and you can get those cool circles and tubes that way but I actually have angle set to tilt most of the time, maybe try that also. Painter 11 has a very sweet pencil tool that does this now but as much as I like the cool stuff in Painter it fails in too many ways.




Hopefully my links work...

...So I guess it's a no go for Clos3d's cloud and leaf brushes...?

Beautiful thread guys... wish I could contribute, but at this point I'm only at a stage where I can leech off people who know what they're doing. This thread will help me a lot.
