There’s a new way to keep up with the latest Photoshop brushes, the Photoshop brushes board on Pinterest. This is a nice way to keep up to date via your regular Pinterest feed where every new brush will appear shortly after being published in the Brush Shop (which will always be the fastest way to learn about new brushes) where the brushes appear in order of newness.

New Brush Sample template

sample Photoshop brush stroke previewer template

This is two previews in one; sample brush strokes of Tremble Stem, a Photoshop Ink brush I’m working on that should be in the shop soon but also a preview of a new brush stroke sampler template. I want to develop a standard set of sample strokes that will both show off the brush in action and at the same time enable you to compare them in a relatively standard fashion. I’ve borrowed a template style from the excellent reviews of brush pens that I really enjoyed on Parkablogs written by Teoh Yi Chie. By performing a similar set of strokes using each brush I hope to be able to give a good idea of how each GrutBrush performs so that you can pick the perfect brush for your digital painting or drawing. This is just the first draft, based on Chie’s samples and it will probably change before I implement it widely. Continue reading New Brush Sample template

“Tailors Mane” Photoshop Pastel Brush

Digital drawing done with the Tailors Mane Photoshop Pastel Brush. A realistic, responsive, Photoshop Pastel Brush for digital artists.
There’s a new natural media brush in the shop today, a digital pastel brush, though at full pressure it looks quite chalky due to it’s sharp texture.

A thick sharp textured pastel brush with a ribbed staccato line that covers quickly and fully at maximum pressure. With a gentle touch this pastel brush is capable of a sparser almost chalk-like line sketch but it comes to life as a broad and brash sketching brush.

New wet Ink Brush – Pond Meander

Digital brush strokes done using the ‘Pond Meander’ Photoshop Ink brush toolset

This latest Photoshop Ink brush “Pond Meander” has a scratchy broken line and appears to bleed into the paper. I like it quite a bit for sketching as it’s “predictably undpredictable” in that while no two lines are identical, it has quite a consistent look which makes it good for drawing as you know you can make identifiable outlines which still have a nice organic messiness to them. I will post an example drawing here and on the brush’s page soon.

I’m giving away 20 free Pond Meander brushes with the coupon code pondfree (Coupon valid unless button has ‘expired’ tag) click below to download the brush for free.

Now you can download all your purchased brushes (new and archived) in one go! Just select all the brushes you want to download and click on the “download all files” button and you can download all your brushes at once in one zip file.
