Install my collection of Photoshop Dry Brushes to have a variety of bristly brush strokes within reach for all your design projects. Made with real paint, each brush features an authentic texture with wispy lines and rough edges, making them perfect for creating realistic painted effects, or distressing your artwork by applying the brushes within a layer mask. With over 53 brushes to choose from, you have a wide choice of natural brush effects, from thick daubs to dry smears.
Subtle grunge textures are one of my favourite types of design resources. They’re great for adding interesting details to what would otherwise be plain and flat colours within your artwork, which helps give your design a more tactile appearance. I’ve shared a couple of iterations of subtle grunge resources over the years in a range of formats, including Photoshop Brushes and seamless textures. Today I have a brand new collection of subtle grunge brushes for Adobe Photoshop to share, which have been produced from totally new surface textures. There are 14 brushes in total, each with a unique spread and density of gritty details, allowing you to choose just the right amount of grime to add to your designs.
I regularly use grainy textures in my artwork, but typically I’ll import a JPG or PNG texture file, which can be time consuming and cumbersome to use. To provide myself with textures I can use on-demand, I’ve produced a brand new set of grit and grain textures in the form of Photoshop Brushes. Once installed, these 15 Brushes are ready for action in my Brushes panel, so I can quickly distress my designs with a single click. You’re totally welcome to use them too!
I’ve released a few sets of halftone texture resources on my blog over the years, but this latest collection is definitely the easiest to use when adding tones to your illustrations in Adobe Photoshop. These Photoshop Brushes allow you to paint with halftone patterns directly onto your artwork. Choose from 12 distressed halftone effects with varying degrees of density and dot size, then alter the brush size and colour to suit. As you enlarge the painted area, the halftone pattern will seamlessly expand too, making it easy to add retro shading tones to your designs.
Subtle grunge Photoshop brushes like this are such versatile tools. I regularly use them to quickly add a touch of texturing to a background, or to rough up an element with the help of a layer mask. The beauty of Photoshop brushes is not only are they always available to grab from the brushes panel, you can also easily resize them, change the colour and apply them with just a click of the mouse, which makes regular texture image files seem so cumbersome in comparison! There’s 10 presets at a 2000x2000px resolution that add detailed grainy textures to your work. They’re really handy tools to have saved directly in Photoshop for whenever you need to add distressed effects to your designs.
I have a brand new resource for my Access All Areas members this week, courtesy of Sivioco. Brush Lab is a collection of over 90 Brushes and 5 Actions, but these aren’t your average Photoshop brushes! The problem with a typical texture brush is it doesn’t really behave much like a brush at all. Rather than being able to paint with them, you usually have to click repeatedly across your canvas, building up areas of texture click by click. With Brush Lab, Sivioco has created a unique set of Photoshop brushes that solves this problem, giving you the ability to effectively “paint” texture onto your canvas for a quicker, smoother, more natural experience.
