The Brush sharing thread!

[clos3d]

I'm very surprise this thread havent been created yet. However I don't see it anywhere.

I'm strong believer that is best for each of us to create our own brush since we made them for us. I also believe
it is good to see how does everyone else around us, it make us learn together. I'm also a stong believer in sharing.

This is why I'm creating this thread, I've seen a lot of people asking for brushes how to create them and I fint it hard
to search in a 15 pages thread.

This place is not meant to explain on how to create them. If you want to know how to create them look here:
http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=47859

On a side note I'd like to say that is not recommended to use 100% someone else brushes unless you feel confortable with it.
I'm sure you can start from a brush and make it fit to you. Sometime I see nice brushes effect but Is not the shape I want,
So I make my own shape and refine the brush to fit me.

Please keep it clean and make a thumbnails, the whole idea is to get a little library.

I hope you'll find good help here and learn something:)

Let the sharing begin!

[clos3d]

I'll start with mine....

My main painting brushes:

Some clouds my friend gave me:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y41/clos3d/clos3d_cloud.jpg

The famous leaves everyone is looking for, I used this a couple of time, my friend Whitec gave it to me:
http://www.st23am.net/art/PS/Brushes/clos3d_leaves.rar
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y41/clos3d/leavesbrush.jpg

[clos3d]

The idea came from here:

here are some of the brushes that i made:

[Camara]

Great thread!!!But how do I upload them to photoshop CS2?

[bumskee]

Nice.. idiot apathy and I was thinking about getting one kicked in but we never got around to it. Glad you could closed! BTW, I have new brush sets and ermm yeah, let me sort that out and post some this weekend. :)

*place holder*

Camara, just pop right click and "load brush"

[drd]

I really appreciate this, closed. I would upload some of mine if I had any unique brushes...I'm one of the masses that has no idea how to use the brushes palette ='(

I'll check out the link you posted....

[clos3d]

yay! I'd love to see more contribution:)

I may post more brushes sometime but as it is right now I'm making 10 every day so I'll just see what is worth to use.

Bumskee: Host my brushes plz! DO IT!

I also took a minute to decribe on what purpose I got my brush.

[KuNiva]

Good stuff guys! much appreciated.

[Dagar]

Hello,

Clos3d...your brushes don't seem to work any more?
Something about time expiring?

:)
I have some Brushes I can share - just need to make my set and post. They revolve around fur.

Below are some WIP that I am using the brushes on.

[clos3d]

Yes I know, someone already told me last night, Im very sorry about that and i'll be fixing that asap.

Sorry.

[st23am]

No rush, but I cant wait till those brushes come up for download ;)

[VicentStone]

thank u , you are good guy...~:)~~~~

[st23am]

still saying download expired anyone else still have these and can put them up? I have web space and can host them after that.

[clos3d]

all updated, thanks to steam for hosting the brushes:)

[stalsby]

thanks for the brushes!

[st23am]

all updated, thanks to steam for hosting the brushes:)

No problem, Glad to be of service. You keep making them I will keep hosting them.

[asoir]

hey guys, really great brushes, thought i'd try to repay you with a crappy brush of my own =]

example of outcome:

[Leeahd]

Great brushes and great thread. I would love to contribute, alas I have yet to customize a brush but if I ever come up with anything worth while I'll happily post it.

[Idiot Apathy]

Nice.. idiot apathy and I was thinking about getting one kicked in but we never got around to it.

Heheh, oh yeah! I forgot about that, such grand plans we had.

Anyways, I'll try and post some junk in the next day or so.

[clos3d]

Even if you just take a brush from here and modify, if you think is worth the shot, post it. I think I have my self some brush from Idiot and Bumskee... Wich I got before knowing this forum:)

Anyways, when I get my computer fixed i'll be able to post some more and continue my painting learning=|

[st23am]

If you need hosting for brushes let me know Once again I am willing to out hosting for free brushes :P

[Idiot Apathy]

Edited: I no longer have these brushes. Chairs!

[rebeltrooper]

[rebeltrooper]

damn! i have ps7, anyone???

[peetsbeets]

Here's one that I use on a regular basis.

[Datameister]

I have a variety of brushes that I use, but at the moment, I'm going through a phase of brush minimalism. I made one multipurpose brush that I quite like. It uses the "Chalk 17 pixels" tip that comes with Photshop (part of "Wet Media Brushes"). I set Opacity and Flow Jitter both to Pen Pressure and Angle Jitter to Initial Direction. This brush is very, very simple, but it is great for achieving a painterly effect. It's fun to work in dabs of paint with this brush, changing size frequently and using the same brush in conjunction with the Eraser tool.

[pabh]

got some splatter and handprint brushes over on one of my da accounts http://pabhstock.deviantart.com/

Splatter pack http://www.deviantart.com/download/37097248/
spray and splatter pack http://www.deviantart.com/download/37129287/
and hand print pack http://www.deviantart.com/download/37223045/

feel free to download them and do as you wish with them, I normally ask people not to use commercially, but in the spirit of giving, feel free to use without restriction.

edit: they aren't dynamic though, so i tweaked a few and got some messy spray can effects

http:creativemac.digitalmedianet.com has some nice ones available too, specifically for hair and clouds

[life on the sofa]

hmm as embarassing as it is, i only have PS 4.0 on my comp when i go to load brushes a maj0ority of them dont appear where i saved them....wrong version of ps? any way around this?

[Iceman0xh]

What version is needed for the majority of these brushes?

[MEMPER]

yo Clos3d, your cloud brushes load as your personal brushes. whats up?
ps. thanks, this is a sweet thread...

[bbwolf]

Very nice sharing ´round here. I personally have made only a few. But handy. For example one that make zippers. Like, clothing zippers, y, know?

I´ll try to post em later on.

But I have a question:

Doey anyone know, or can tell me how to organize brushes?

Like making a pallette with maybe 5 brush settings I want to use?

Because I have soooooo many now, thanks to all the ppl over at deviant art, that I totally loose track in my brushes browser.

I want to create a palette for my black and white stuff and one for monochrome and so on.

Any ideas?

[PointFive]

Dagar those fur brushes would be awesome!!! Cuz those are some dope animal studies/ paintings!

[Destructo]

Wow, could anybody make a .ZIP file of the cloud brushes clos3d posted?

They look amazing

[Bhrazz]

Well I didnt know this thread was still alive and also not aware of a sticky. I'm sorry about the cloud brush. I just reloaded them and unfortunatly I can't attach them because the files is bigger than 200k. If anyone wish to host it PM me plz.

you could always use mediafire (http://www.mediafire.com)

[haso619]

Note: I use a ton of brushes, some made up on the spot but also many of Bumskee's - BaRONTiERi's and Alday.J's. I also change the settings constantly if I find something lacking or unsatisfactory. Just play around with these, maybe they have some use to you?

70562
A: Basic Round; Size to Pressure, minimum size varies as needed. Flow and Opacity to Pressure. Manual Opacity never changes, Manual flow changes as needed. Softness changes as needed via keyboard shortcuts (shift+[ and shift+])
B: New* Brush, Dirty cover/Foliage Cover Brush. Default round with dual brush option, otherwise settings same as above.
C: Squished Elliptical: Angled to -116 degrees, squished to 36%, angle set to inital direction; otherwise same setting as A. Feels a bit more like a paintbrush, doesn't blend as well however.
D: New* Drawing Brush: Actually used much smaller than seen here, dual brush option adds a bit of 'randomness' negating a little bit of the digital feel. Settings otherwise same as A.
E: Foliage Brush 1: Generic, used to fill in and play with edges. Scattering etc. used to mix things up a bit. See settings on your own if curious :P
F: Cover/Dirty Brush: Used like the bottom right swatch mainly - basically a texture applied to a brush stroke with a bit of variance.
G: Foliage Brush 2: Used large as seen in bottom right and larger. Usually in random and wild strokes for inital abstraction.
H: Foliage Brush 3: Lighter cover, alteration of the same brushstamp as G, a bit more into the individual leaves category. Rarely used by itself.
I: Foliage Brush 4: Meh, just another brush ahah. Try it huge too.
J: Large Foliage Brush: Original size is 1200 px. Real nice huge abstract brush.
K: Barontieri's Chalk: I think this is the same as I got it from BaRONTiERi's set but I can't remember. I wouldn't have included it except I use it quite a bit, or have at least. Good for dirty textures and foliage.
L: Flower/Grain Brush: Use this puppy for flowers and to add grain and otherwise variance to paintings. Good to mix up foliage as well.
M: Palette Knife: Can be nice for drawing, seems too digital when painting - need to tweak it.
N: More random foliage brush: Can be nice to add some variety - can't say I've really used it as the main event.
O: A bit sharper shapes, can help with seeing more manmade shapes in abstractions.
P: Ground cover brush: I mess with the settings on this one a lot - but can make some decent dirt/ground.
Q: New* Dirty Brush: Just used to dirty things up so far.
R: Ugly Branches brush: When messed with properly can be ok... otherwise way too ugly and digital.

Yeah sure.

1. download the brushes to a file.
2. extract them if they are .zip or.rar to a folder
3. open Photoshop
4. select the brush tool and right click > click Preste manager
5. in Presert manager click load brushes
6. select the brushes you downloaded (from the EXTRACTED file)
7. Click Done

now you should be able to use them...

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and what a great site! i downloaded whit's interior tutorial (fantastic!) He says he uses a chalk brush for most everything but with what i have I can not seem to recreate it.

thanks for any advice!

[Dukal]

Hello people! It's time to share here my own brushes. I've created this sets scanning some real splats and ink drops and trying to obtain a natural media feeling right there, inside Photoshop CS3.
Most of the brushes that I found through the years are just "stamps" without any configuration, so I don't want to paint with a rubber stamp!

The first "Artistic Set" was created a year ago:

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4078/4803285096_c82ccdf669_b.jpg

Artistic Brushes Pack #1 (http://alexdukal.blogspot.com/2008/03/artistic-brushes-para-photoshop-free.html) (The post is in spanish and english)

Artistic Brushes Pack #2 (http://alexdukal.blogspot.com/2008/12/artistic-brushes-pack-2-free.html)

Here's a video showing how each brush works:

Alex Dukal - Artistic Brushes v2.1 - Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR5l1ne85Ac)

I wish to have a few more brush controls inside Photoshop! Something like Corel Painter Watercolours, Impasto and a control for gravity would be nice too! But who knows "when" ... :S

[Tonic]

Hey, Dukal, these brushes looks very promising, as Photoshop is poor in imitating traditional medias. I'm downloading it right now. About license, I have a question about non-commercial use. Does using brushes in work means a commercial use, even if I wouldn't get paid thanks directly by brushes?

[Dukal]

About license, I have a question about non-commercial use. Does using brushes in work means a commercial use, even if I wouldn't get paid thanks directly by brushes?

The CC license is mainly for those who want to include the brushes in CDs / DVDs and make some money, that's not allowed! I want to keep this sets for free.
There's no problem with collegues that want to use the brushes in personal or commercial artworks (of course, a link back is allways welcome).
Is that understable?

The watercolours effect looks very good... I was searching for a long time for brushes like these. :teeth:

[SHAP00PI]

Heres the real pencil brush I created, I feel kinda embarassed that there is only one to share, but it is a quality one, mimics the real pencil to a tee I believe, small size for sketching, large size for shading!
http://fc10.deviantart.com/fs38/i/2008/364/b/f/Real_Pencil_Brush_by_SHAP00PI.png (http://shap00pi.deviantart.com/art/Real-Pencil-Brush-107738639)

[feral714]

Pencil is a basic round with texture set to height

the 'pastel' is lightly textured to go with the level of texture of the other brushes, pretty fine. It is a flat brush with angle set to initial direction so it'll give a calligraphy effect if you do a long curve with it. If you set it to direction it'll be a little more jagged. I use it for small strokes though. I should probably make it a square brush.

The other 3 "Textured...." brushes are my attempt to make a pencil shading brush. Angle is set to direction and you can get those cool circles and tubes that way but I actually have angle set to tilt most of the time, maybe try that also. Painter 11 has a very sweet pencil tool that does this now but as much as I like the cool stuff in Painter it fails in too many ways.

[Liffey]

Beautiful thread guys... wish I could contribute, but at this point I'm only at a stage where I can leech off people who know what they're doing. This thread will help me a lot.

[PixelFish]

So recently I made a brush using the CDC's photos of the H1N1 virus (http://art.lismitchell.net/?p=21). I changed the contrast a little and painted the edges out and voila! A brush that you can use for underwater coral reefs, zombie skin, lilacs, lava, blood corpuscles, etcetra.


I also posted on my art blog about some recent brushes I'd made for foliage, wood grain, stone, speckles, and roots. (http://art.lismitchell.net/?p=12) (Some of these work well for general texture brushes as well. The roots one requires only a few tweaks to take it from making roots to a nice parchmenty effect.)



Edited to add: I don't care if people want to link the H1N1 brush thither and yon, or redistribute it, as I got the original texture from the CDC site on the H1N1 virus, and it's more or less something I adapted, as opposed to something I created. But I would prefer if the other brushes, painted from scratch by me, were not redistributed, and if you do use them in a painting, to link back to my art blog (http://art.lismitchell.net).

[iontheable]

I know it's a bit of a pain,

but does anyone have the pencil brush listed on the 3rd page?

It won't download for me and I'd love to play with it.

Thanks

[booboo77]

First thank you very much!!
The link linked me to st23am.net and I didn't know how to download it. *blush*

[nevermindjoker]

hope nox can share his brushes :) here. thanks.

[nevermindjoker]

i'm just too lazy but guess I all figure it out what nox brush was...http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=112630&page=3

though it only uses an opacity set to pressure, no flow.

Beautiful thread guys... wish I could contribute, but at this point I'm only at a stage where I can leech off people who know what they're doing. This thread will help me a lot.

I have to Ditto this post as well. I am just beginning Digital Painting using Photoshop. I have to say that just by reading threads on this forum, I've learned things I didn't know PS was able to do.

Thanks everyone for sharing your brushes, and when I get better I hope to share my stuff.

Does anyone know where I can get the perspective brush Whit Brachna uses in his tutorials?

[Sharkcellar]

I was curious as to what Whit Brachna was talking about when he said he uses the "chalk tool" in one of his tutorials. Well, obviously he was talking about the chalk brush in the PS palette. The one he's using in the Massive Black PS training video is from the default PS brush palette. It is the chalk brush that is sized at 36 points. Be aware that this brush's "full size" appearance will be different if you are using CS4. It appears that he has rotated this brush -75° so that it is vertical. He's also changed the spacing to ~12%. There are other things he's done to it but I can't quite figure it out. Anyone?

[emmetc]

Does anyone have any Jason Chan or Massive Black brushes, like the ones he used in Character Design 1 and 2??

[Ming1918]

A BIG fat thank you to everybody who's shared brushes here--you just made my day :)

Are there any brushes that would mimic a Brush Pen?

Like used in these two here. Thanks.

[fragmentedchimp]

I could be wrong, but i think you have to have a tablet driver installed with pressure sensitivity enabled in the custom brush options to get that interesting serpentine fade in your strokes.

[darth_vato]

Well, I have a Wacom Intuos 3, but I can't seem to find out a way to recreate the brush. He won't tell me where he got the brush sets, either lol

Take a look here, all the links seem to be working.:

Including brushes by Mathias Verhasselt, Barontieri and Bumskee ;)

[Sharkcellar]

Umm...am I missing something? Why do some of these files have an additional .txt extension to them?

[artmessiah]

This is my tool set that I draw with. I tried to capture a lot of the things I like about Painter with some of these brushes, like my favorite "Static Pencil" and "Painter Hack" brushes. The painter hack brush is a mixer brush which can go from a drawing brush to a blender brush by clicking the "0" key for blending and double clicking the "0" key to go back to dry. Just put this in your tools folder to use.

The file is very big and for that I apologize, but I think someone will find some use with it. Take care.

Heres the real pencil brush I created, I feel kinda embarassed that there is only one to share, but it is a quality one, mimics the real pencil to a tee I believe, small size for sketching, large size for shading!

This is just the type of brush I was looking for! kick ass and thanks!

Hi, CS 5 is out there for a while and I was wondering if anyone made brushes specifically for CS5's Mixer Brush Tool (with settings preferably)

[ikuru]

[MidnightIllustration]

This is a fantastic thread. I'd like to share a few of my brushes here (I think 3 are variations of brushes that come with CS5, the others are original):
