“Cave In” Photoshop Cross Hatching Brush

I didn’t get a chance to announce this week’s free GrutBrush on Monday due to my day job, but it’s been there and is still free until Sunday (24 hours left!)  This one is a cross-hatching brush and I doodled this guy above using it. First I sketched the basic shape in black and then I ‘etched’ into it with the same brush, but using white to chip away at it (you could also use an eraser) and essentially carve into the black. Finally I made the layer a Multiply layer so that the white disappears and the paper background shows through.

As always you can get this on the free Photoshop brush of the week page

New Broad Coverage Charcoal Brush

I just added a new large, broad charcoal brush to the brush shop. This one is good for covering large areas with tone, and unlike some of the others which can get a bit smudgy at low pressure, ‘Dim Sky’ maintains a crispy grain even at the lighter values. Boost the pressure for dark, full coverage.
