Photoshop Brushes - Grunge City

Photoshop brushes can be a very helpful and powerful thing if you practice a little bit. It's all about combining different elements to create just about anything. Before I started using Photoshop brushes I used to draw everything out as you know this can be very time consuming. For things like clouds, splatters of paint, grass, etc... Photoshop brushes are the way to go. There will of course be times when it is just easier to draw out your own graphics.

To load Photoshop brushes I created a folder in My Documents called Photoshop Brushes. I do this because if I load a brush at work and want to take it home its easier for me to access.
Open Photoshop and click on your brush tool. Open up your brushes and click on the arrow located on the right hand side. From there you will click on Load brushes. Find the location and your ready to go.

The above image was created with Photoshop brushes. I go through brusheezy's site about once a month to check out the new Photoshop brushes. When your starting out using brushes it is best to just start playing around with them. I use a lot of opacity settings, shadows and things like that when I am using brushes.
