Digital Painting Tools Photoshop

broken image


Hi guys! I've been searching the internet for some digital painting brushes that will imitate the traditional brushes – and other tools used in traditional art. I managed to find really great brushes that nowadays are the main set in my 'brush palette'.

Fresco lets you paint and draw on iPad or iPhone, anywhere you feel inspired. Use it with Photoshop on the iPad to combine images, retouch artwork, and create with layers on the go. With new Illustrator on the iPad, you have the power to create precise, scalable vector art wherever you happen to be when an idea hits you. In traditional art, artists use erasers to create highlights in their charcoal or pencil drawings by lifting up the dark color in those areas. The same theory applies to digital painting. If you put too much paint on an area by mistake, switch over to the Eraser Tool (E) and take some of the color away.

In this article, I gathered awesome brushes that can be used in Photoshop. But in the future, I'm going to create similar lists to other graphic software.

As a student, I didn't have any money, so my obvious choice was to search for free brushes published by the creators (mostly on DeviantArt) with permission for free use.

My main goal was to gather some nice tools that will allow me to create digital paintings imitating the visual effect of traditional paintings – you know, the texture of paper and canvas, the visible use of a bristle brush… that was something I couldn't achieve easily with the use of Photoshop's default brushes. The brushes are free to use, but if you plan to use them for your commercial projects, I recommend to contact the artist first, to have a clear situation.

Below you can find a list of free digital brushes for Photoshop used by professional illustrators/concept artists.

Maciej Kuciara is one of my idols and people I look up to. His skills, and especially his background made me realize that no matter what are your obstacles – if you are really passionate about things that you do and work hard to achieve your goals, you can do this.

He worked as a concept artist for such projects like: The Last of Us, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ghost in the Shell.

I was hyper happy when I found out that Maciej published his set of brushes for free download. Here's Maciej's comment on brushes:

Here's a full set of brushes I use, used or might use in my works, most of it I gathered over last few years. Some of the brushes you'll find in this set I've adopted from other artist sets, including: Jaime Jones, Mathias Verhasselt, Danny LuVisi, Shaddy Safadi and more. Feel free to do whatever you like with them, I feel like it's one of few ways I can contribute to our artists community.

The top menu has what you might already be used to with menu items such as File, Edit, View, Image, Layer, Select, Filter, Tools, Settings, Window and Help; quite similar again to Photoshop.

With all of the similarities to Adobe Photoshop out of the way, Krita features a number of tools which actually seem more intuitive than its commercial counterparts; It comes with 9 preset brushes for painting images like a pen, marker, pencil, etc.

The Image menu of Krita provides access to different image manipulation tools such as mirror, flip, rotate, shear image, color space conversion, image split and more. The layer menu does some of what the image menu does and more, as you would expect from specific layer editing options.
