Photoshop Brushes-add them to your Creative Toolbox

Since we are on a roll talking about some fun Photoshop tools and resources, I have another creative one for you. Brushes. You can get a lot of drama from one simple tool.

Brushes can be used like a rubber stamp. This shape can be resized to whatever you need. They can be turned, flipped, or rotated to make each “stamp” unique. Of course you can change the color of them too.

For the image sampled here, I used one brush to make both designs. I used the same brush twice, each on its own layer. Each image is placed above the brush layer and then masked behind (cont alt g). Drop in an interesting background as the bottom layer and you’re done!

Photoshop comes with its own standard brushes but check out http://www.brusheezy.com/Brushes to get you started with more creative sets.
