August’s Tutorial Roundup
Ohh, Dirty! Love it! Great stuff, will be taking a closer look at this later on for sure.
@liam: Hopefully you can make you of them liam. We’ll have some of our own to add to the list in the near future, so hope you’ll come back and see those when they’re posted.
Nice collection of brush sets here David, im sure many readers on here wil have a good use for them. Hopefully you can give us these freebies on a weekly basis for the viewers, makes a nice addition to the tutorials.
These are going to come in handy for a project I am working on! Great post, that’s one of the best things about running DesignBump.com, I never miss out on the great stuff. Thanks for submitting!
Best,
John

@antonwoods: This may be a realm we explore a bit more in the future. They are definitely of great interest to many of our readers here (from what we’ve seen on our 99 Textures post). We’ll probably contribute some resources of our own to the community
@John Campbell: Thanks John! Really happy about joining your community. Seems to be growing nicely!
@David Look forward to seeing your own brushes for sure.
I agree with Anthony, these freebies are a nice addition. Maybe have some tutorials that make use of the freebies that would be cool.
Thanks, David! This is a great resource and just what I’ve been looking for. I agree with liam that a tutorial showing the use of these would be terrific.
these are great:)
When I read the title I knew there would be Bittbox brushes on the list
Bittbox really have some awesome brushes on their site, and they’re probably the best quality out there.
Nice roundup.
@liam & @MikeWhoBikes: Definitely will be utilizing some of these in future Tutorials here at T9. We’ll try to stray from tutorials that are too specific if possible. I like being able to provide lessons that can be built upon and applied over and over in different areas.
@Eli: Bittbox brushes are usually top notch
They’re the ones I used to create the lead image actually.
Thanks a lot for Awesome Brushes collection. I like to use watercolor fx since i visited webdesignerwall. I’ll try these brushes tonight. + Delicious
Great Selection, thanks
I always love your collections. Textures, Brushes… it’s really helpful that you take them together to one page.
One question: Do you - as designer - save your textures on your computer or do you everytime search the web for them when you need one? And when you found a good texture, do you just copy it into photoshop or do you save it?
Greetings,
LBrother
This is a great collection. I think no one can beat BittBox’s Brushes. They’re amazing.
Anyways, if 250 brushes aren’t enough for you, I’ve got another 50 Hi-Res Watercolour Brushes at fudgegraphics.
Oh thank you thank you thank you soo much!I already have one set of Hi-Res watercolor brushes and if you use some really hot saturated colors, I tell you, you gain some hot effects! Now I’ll even have more to choose from
Hi david!
Thaks for all.
Pleas join http://drasik-design.blogspot.com/
Really nice works and nice blog!
Thanks.
Drasik.
@LBrother: In my own creative work, I usually don’t like reusing the same resources over and over — so I tend to find new textures/brushes/etc, or build my own from scratch in new pieces. There are exceptions of course, and organizing some on my computer (or using presets) can really cut time down while working.
@ferdinand: Thanks for sharing those ferdinand. Personally, the acrylic and watercolor themed brushes are some of my favorites
Hi is there way to publish your own tutorial on this website and get paid like on ehow you write and get paid
@Umer: Yes. Sent you an email Umer.
Perhaps if these types of tutorials continue, you could add a “resources” section to the site.
Awesome list David, I’ll definitely get to use most of those! Thanks for sharing
great list of brushes… thanks for making life easier!
Great list, I’m definitely going to use quite a few of these. Thanks!
Not only do the specific resources help, but the links highlight some quality websites. Definitely going to come in handy.
I am more intrested in Textures as inspired by strecth effect
@Cpt. Crayon: Definitely will be adding a “Resources” link to the main menu very soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
Be sure to thank the authors of these brushes themselves if you use them. Just as a courtesy, you know? At least for myself, I really am overjoyed when I hear that folks like what I make available on the Internet. Glad so many of you are finding these to be so useful!
Really nice collection of brushes here. got some great ideas of how to use some of them too. As Cord: mentiond, some good resource links too!
It really is a great collection of brushes. They can be used for all sorts of things and in all sorts of ways, thanks David!
@Jana: HI, actually i would like to let you know that i like a lot your arvertiment, on the other hand i think that it would be better if we will keep continue keep in touch just to exchage about many interested photoshopthemes like brushes…
Andromeda
thanks…
i hope you llike this …
These are great. Whoever thought that messy, splattery textures would be so popular? It seems that for decades, “good” design meant “clean” or “precise.”
Great Tutorials
You are beautiful!
Thanks so much!
Great Collection!
just want to say that I have a few freebies like these on my site…
Spray Paint
Ink Splats
Again thanks for collecting all of these and keeping up on the great tutorials.
The Hard brushes are way cool!
