This week’s free Photoshop brush is this dry ink brush. get it now on the free Photoshop brush of the week page or in the brush shop until Monday January 18th when there will be a new free brush.
I added a new Photoshop pencil to the shop today, the Mech Midi mechanical pencil. It’s a sharp thin-lined hard leaded drafting pencil for the engineer in you.
This week’s free Photoshop brush is a dry yet silky gouache brush with an even opacity distribution, ramping up smoothly from semi-transparent to opaque this natural, medium fibered brush has an easily controllable flow and even tapering making it versatile as both a fill and a drawing brush.

This Photoshop Charcoal brush with a lot of hand made paper fiber texture is new in the shop today. The lines at the top left are pure unadultarated ‘as is’ strokes whereas the rest have been shaped and carved with erasers.

Some Photoshop Gouache brushes that I am working on. I like to work on a few different brushes of one type at a time so that I can see how they work together before I publish them. This is an attempt to get some kind of cohesiveness and continuity within a series of brushes. It’s not easy and I lose that battle more often than I’d like to and while there will always be an outsider brush or two (three?) within a set, by fine tuning them in small groups in the workshop I hope to minimise that.
If one Gouache brush is working for you on a project, but to finish up that last section you need a brush that is just a tad drier, perhaps one that shows a few more bristle marks for a grander dramatic flourish, well I hope to have you covered.
This week’s free GrutBrush is a Photoshop sketching pencil called Mud Slice, it’s quite soft, equivalent to perhaps a 5 or 6B graphite pencil (seen here enlarged 200%).
