My main goal was to gather some nice tools that will allow me to create digital paintings imitating the visual effect of traditional paintings – you know, the texture of paper and canvas, the visible use of a bristle brush… that was something I couldn’t achieve easily with the use of Photoshop’s default brushes.

But in the future, I’m going to create similar lists to other graphic software.Īs a student, I didn’t have any money, so my obvious choice was to search for free brushes published by the creators (mostly on DeviantArt) with permission for free use. In this article, I gathered awesome brushes that can be used in Photoshop. I managed to find really great brushes that nowadays are the main set in my “brush palette”.Ĭheck them out and download your favorite brushes! Some of the brushes have been made by myself and the rest have been tweaked from others that are freely available on the internet.Hi guys! I’ve been searching the internet for some digital painting brushes that will imitate the traditional brushes – and other tools used in traditional art. They are as much a tool as photoshop itself and should be viewed as such when you're still learning. Please remember folks that good art is not all about the brushes you use. I normally don't use them so extensively or so exclusively when painting and I certainly don't encourage it, but in the very least it shows what they can achieve.

The image in the background is made entirely using the brushes found in this set, with every brush being used at least once. Typically a select few are used much more than the others but they all certainly have their uses. A collection of all the brushes I find myself dabbling with when doing environment artwork.
