Photoshop Pencils – From the workshop

Here are some doodles from the workshop for an upcoming set (long overdue) of Photoshop Pencils. There are a few pencils in the shop already like the Borrowed Pencil, the RE CC and a few others, but no full set. I couldn’t resist splattering it a bit with some ink from the Inky Leaks set (coming August 30th!) and the paper is from the Art Surfaces PSD templates collection which is taking a bit longer than I imagined (November?) I will probably give a way a few more samples before then.

Free Photoshop Brush of the Week #74

Painted with the Dust Ruffian Photoshop Gouache brush

Photoshop Gouache Brush strokes painted with the 'Dust Ruffian' brush — Photoshop Gouache Brush strokes painted with the ‘Dust Ruffian’ brush

I really love painting with this week’s free GrutBrush. It’s sloppy, has a ton of personality, wild edges but very controllable opacity and is chock full of texture (even though the brush itself has no texture bitmap – it’s all in the brush tip) Get it for free all week on the free Photoshop brush of the week page

Free Photoshop Brush of the Week #71 – “Flue Blow”

Drawn with the free Photoshop brush of the week "Flue Blow" — Drawn with the free Photoshop brush of the week for July 25th “Flue Blow”

This week’s free Photoshop brush is a big broad brush that covers your image in a fast flowing cloud of debris. Like a broken sack of coal this brush is capable of a light dusting, but with a little more stylus pressure it will release a thick billowing dust cover. Get it for free all week on the free Photoshop brush of the week page

Free Photoshop Brush of the Week #70

Painting in Photoshop with the Pensive Linny ink Brush

Closeup of brush strokes painted with this week’s free Photoshop brush, the ‘Pensive Linny’ ink brush, a highly responsive and controllable ink brush with a well defined paper edge bleed texture. This one is somewhat different from most of the ink brushes in that the bleeding ink into paper effect on the edges of the brush stroke into the paper is inherent in the brush itself.

Free Photoshop Brush of the Week #69

Drawn with the Humble Bee Photoshop crayon brush — Drawn with the Humble Bee Photoshop brush

Drawn with this week’s free GrutBrush, the “Humble Bee” natural media brush. It’s a thick saw-tooth edged opaque brush with a free flowing thick wet ink appearance, with a very slight width variation but when used with a lighter touch as I’ve done here it can have a bit of a crayonlike appearance. The background texture was created by scaling the brush to an absurdly large size. You can get the brush as always on the free brush of the week page

Free GrutBrush of the Week #67 – “Slight Yell” Ink Brush

Drawn with the Slight Yell Photoshop brush — Drawn with the ‘Slight Yell’ Photoshop ink brush

This week’s free Photoshop brush is Slight Yell, an ink brush with a very smooth controllable ramp up from eyelash fine line to fat round width and worn edges at the highest pressure. Useful for tasks from line drawings to lettering. This one is an atypically large file size (almost 3MB whereas most are a few kilobytes) so if you don’t use it you may want to delete it from your Tool Presets after you try it out.
