digital painting kit (brushes)

[alti]

hey everyone, put together some Photoshop brushes that work like very traditional media, use the canvas provided with the brushes in the kit for traditional looking results, I thought this would be a like a traditional painters startup kit but for digital, hope you get some good results and i'd love to see them here.

download alti's painters kit (http://members.optusnet.com.au/alti/painterskit.rar)

cheers

[Bhrazz]

hmmm sounds interesting, i'll be playing with that for sure!
Thanks mate

[Faxtar]

Cool thanks! Heres my first attempt.

[Farvus]

Thanks alti.
Those two last brushes work really slow on my computer. I optimized the performance of Photoshop as much as I could but it didn't help much. I guess I have too slow computer :).
The canvas texture is the most useful. I might use it in my future paintings.

Cheers.

[alti]

awsome, good to see the results.
nicely done faxtar.
farvus> i use the kit on my work computer, so it might lag on the last 2 brushes, but my laptop works with it sweet, try reducing the size at wich you use the brushs. and change your windows settings to optimise for performance so windows isnt eating all your ram.

[Stahr]

like the brushes, but in what way could i use the texture? as a texture set for all the brushes or load it and paint over?

[alti]

i use the texture to paint over

[RogerAdams]

I love the canvas texture brush. It reminds me of Painter's oil pastel.

Thanks man, these work very well!

[DeathChalupa]

thanks

[gluck]

Sounds good!
Is the set available for mac?

[jubjubjedi]

Ditto, can't seem to download the brushes...

[vivvz]

tried downloading it, but apperently the brushes doesn't work for photoshop 7.. could you make the same brushes but compatible with older versions of photoshop? I'd love to try them out!

[tobi]

Woah, man!
Thats Über-cool! I'm a big fan of photoshop custom brushes and a traditional look even in digital art, and I'm experimenting a lot with stuff like that. Your download seems to be pretty much that stuff I was trying to achive, and the results posted here look great. I'll be back in a few days to show my first attempts, I'm totally excited! Thank you very much!


edit: Uh, I'm back after a few minutes…
The download doesn't work, either. To be precise, I can download the data, but afterwards my browser tells me that data decoding failed (never heared about that before). I'm running Safari 1.3.2 on Mac OS X (10.3.9.).

[alti]

ah, macs, i'm affraid the brushes are only on pc :( i dont have a mac, sorry dudes with macs.

if someone knows how to convert brushes from one photoshop to the other... i'l google some stuff and find out.

[tobi]

The only solution that comes into my mind spontaneiously is: Posting Shapes and Setup Data, so Mac-Afficionados could rebuild the brushkit. But that would be very uncomfortable for you…
I'm gonna search for a converting method, too. Thank you for all your efforts, man!

[alti]

can macs run windows ? get a windows emulator and install photoshop cs maby ?

[Elwell]

ah, macs, i'm affraid the brushes are only on pc :( i dont have a mac, sorry dudes with macs.
Photoshop is completely cross-platform; I'm on a Mac, and they work fine. It's not a Mac/PC issue, it's a PS issue. CS brushes aren't necessarily compatible with earlier versions.

[alti]

ah elwell cannot be vexed
i take back all previous apologies to mac users. and issue new appologies to ps 7 users. whats it up to now though like cs 3 .

[DigitallyDumbfounded]

Hi.
Thanks for putting theses up. :)
I'm also on mac os x with latest update (... even though I seem to get more crashes since updating, :( )but I don't have any problem using the brushes.
Tobi: probably just try downloading with firefox?

[nofingers]

Thanks Alti, these brushes are pretty slick. I can see a couple of them being used regularly.

[Venger]

Works fine on Mac, these are good brushes - thanks a lots for them (good sculpting brushes)

*edit* I should say it works fine on Photoshop CS on mac.

[Alex Baer]

i have a macbook pro and when i click on the brushset link i just get a bunch of text :/

[jt4470]

Love the brushes! I'll hopefully try them out soon

[tobi]

Hi, I'm back again.

It must have been just a browser problem that occurred never before. Strange story…

But, in the end, I got the brushes and started working!
My stuff doensnt't look as natural as alti's demo yet, but I'll keep trying.

Thanks again, and: See you soon… :D

[Jake Kobrin]

alti the brushes are gone. :( can I have some help?

[gedcastillo]

i really really would like to get these brushes. for some reasons, the link doesnt work anymore. could anyone help me pls?

[alti]

ops sorry about that, was moving stuf around on my host client server thing to save room, i'l put them back up in about an hour.

:) in the mean time,-- lets dance like it aint no thaaaanggg

[Elwell]

Alti, the attachment feature here allows zip files if you just want to do that.

[gedcastillo]

thanks ill be waiting for those brushes

KUDOS!

[Digital_Blacksmith]

Dammit...everything good is for versions above PS7....why must I be poor?!

[S!N]

Oh my God! The results are wonderfull! I'm crazy for those brushes!! Pls Alti upload them again!







p.s. : sry for my bad english...

[Helzon]

Not one to jump on bandwagons or such but count me in as very interested in these brushes. Waiting patiently.

[HunterKiller_]

The results look spectacular!
Please, please, please post it again. :(

[gedcastillo]

hi alti

can you please the brushes again?please?im dying to use it

[alti]

ok the new kit is up with a couple of new additions including a new palet knife i realy like that i put together yesterday.

number 28 brushes are awsome for all kinds of stuff, so try them out too.

[RandAlThor]

any chance you could upload the b+w images that make the brushes and a list of settings, i would like to reproduce these in ps7. If i get it to work i'll upload for others... ;-)

edit: Ok so heres the images used, you will need to open in ps 7 and select all then define your brush. I will try to find out the settings from the abr file cos i dont have cs, if some one finds good settings or alti tells us what he used then we should post it here....

[RandAlThor]

At least the ps7 users will have some idea how to recreate these 'CS' brushes by mimicking the settings.. now go play... ;-)

[alti]

awsome, i would never have gotten around to doing that , mucho thanks randal :)

-alti

[alti]

i use number 10 more than all the others put together , to me it feels like a marker.

[Wisteria]

these brushes are great! Thanks! Do you have any specific usage set for these? I won't earn a profit with them or anything, but is it alright if I post work made with them in a sketchbook or something?

[meltface]

thanks

I just danced like it wasn't no thang...

[monkeyman478]

Sorry to be such a bother but how do i use that image as a texture.

Thanks

[RandAlThor]

Right-click save the brushes above, open it in photoshop, make sure brush is selected, then go to edit define brush... it will appear in your brush menu, then you can tweak the settings etc...

[Asatira]

alti: Thanks so much for putting these up. I'm still early in learning to use the brushes in PS, but these look like so much fun. Can't wait to use them.

RandAlThor: Thanks for putting up the B&W images and the settings for those with older versions.

[teazr]

Thank you
