With my free Photoshop brushes I’m giving you some ideas for your designs. Well, sometimes it is not enough, right?

I know :) I sometimes catch myself thinking: “why do I have to type this website address on each image?” or “I need more leaves in that picture”. Sometimes you may need a crack on a brand new vase or watercolor brushes. :) In those and many other cases you look for brushes that are nowhere to be found. The best solution is to create Photoshop brushes on your own. It’s really simple :)

Photoshop brushes can be made from photos, sketches, line-art, silhouettes, scanned images…well from all sorts of images. :)

I suggest you to choose your image wisely, because Photoshop brush is something you create when you’d like to use the image many times.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Objects that suppose to be brushes cannot be bigger than 2500×2500 px
2. Black color in your image will give you 100% opacity of your brush color.
It means if you don’t want your object or signature look like ghost - it should be black.
3. White color in your image will disappear in your brush.
So the best background for your object would be white.
4. Colors appears in brushes as grey values.
It means that every color other than black or white will be seen as a grey color and it will have lower opacity in your brush.

You can create your own sets of Photoshop brushes. For example, you can bundle in one set your all favourite floral brushes, grunge brushes, shapes or just simply most used brushes. It all depends on your creativity and sense of order :)

TIP:
The Save Brushes command saves all the brushes that you currently have in your Brushes Palette, so if you want to create a set you need to delete the unwanted brushes from the palette
