New Brush Set and the Accompanying Tutorial

Lightworks Photoshop Brushes set, 61Tadaaaa! A new brush set is born!

Had some issues on naming it… that was difficult. I knew I wanted the name to contain the word “light” but what light? Sparkling light? Dancing light … not bad but … not exactly what I was looking for.

And then it occurred to me: Lightworks! Sounds familiar, as if I heard that word somewhere … but it doesn’t matter. Now the name of the newborn brush is: Lightworks!

Here is one sample on what can be done with it:

Outlined Swirls Photoshop Brushes. Lookin' Better Than Ever!

Outlined Swirls Photoshop Brushes. Lookin’ Better Than Ever!

One swirl meets an Artist in a bar: “Hi, my name is Swirl, Outlined Swirl.”

“Ooooh, you must be a new Swirl in town. Nice to meet you. I’m an Artist. Photoshop 7.0 Artist. Are we compatible?”

“But, of course. I’m compatible with you and all of your younger friends there, all the way to Photoshop CS5 Artist.” Swirl gives a brief look to the barmen “Martini, shaken, not stirred.”

Outlined Swirls Photoshop Brushes Set

This was the beginning of the beautiful friendship. Photoshop 7.0 invited all his younger friends and not just them, by the end of the night Paint Shop Pro Artist was there, Gimp artist and several scrapbooking enthusiasts were there – having a blast together, creating marvelous graphics, images and illustrations of all kinds. And they all lived together happily ever after.

Outlined Swirls PS Brushes Set

Yes, that’s right, ladies and gentleman, tonight I proudly present you – Swirls, Outlined Swirls set!

May you use it for your most prestigious works of art, your graphics, your illustrations, scrapbooks and all kinds of designs. You can even print them out as a wallpaper for your living room (that’s actually my plan, but for kitchen wall).

As usual, there is a free, LITE 4 brushes version for you to try it out (5 days subscription-free download – over!) and of-course, the full PREMIUM version, set of 23 brushes.

Enjoy! Have fun creating!

“HUGO” Vector Pack that you’re just going to love

Gang, Graphic designers and visual artists!

All of you who are willing and ready to take that extra step, thau shall have no fear of recession! Thau shall have no fear of getting fired! And that’s because you will always be able create nice things that market will need and you will never be jobless!

128 Vectors: All-in-one Vector PackHaving that in mind, I prepared a so called recession-proof Vector set package.

Why?

Well, everybody’s talking about recession these days. Not just these days, these months I should say. I don’t think that anyone who is willing to work and who is good at what they do should be afraid. And, as always, I am here ready to help.

In my previous posts, ever since the beginning of this blog, every now and then, I was giving you advices on how to monetize your work. What to do, where to sell … all kinds of ideas. And I don’t plan to stop doing that any time soon. Especially now, when the economy is going through the tough times.

So, no matter if you are beginner in vector graphics or if you are a professional, you are aware of the potential that vector graphics have. You know all about the benefits and advantages of vector graphics. And you know how cool it is to work with vectors. Size is no issue because from vectors you’ll always get crisp sharp bitmaps. And you’re free to derive limitless amount of designs just from one shape.

And how about ten? Or how about one hundred? Or how about 128 vectors, swirls, floral shapes, edges and corners, for which you know that once you open them in Illustrator or CorelDRAW or any other vector editing application, there will be no limits. You can open them in Photoshop or Photoshop elements too because psd and png files are in pack too! No limits to size of the graphics, no limits to variations of the shapes, no limits to application of the designs.

So, what did I do?

I took 5 of my best selling vector packages:

1. Vector Swirls Vector Set (16 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Vector Swirls set (16) ]
2. Vector Floral Shapes Vector Set (30 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Vector Floral Shapes set ]
3. Swirls and Stars Vector Set (35 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Swirls and Stars Vector Set ]
4. Swirled Corners Vector Set (26 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Swirled Corners Vector Set ]
5. Photo Edges Vector Set (21 vectors – swirls and floral)
[ PREVIEW Photo Edges Vector Set ]

Total value of those is $71.95 and I’ve put them all in one package.

I named this package HUGO because it’s HUGE and I did not want to call it HUGE so i called it HUGO. And I reduced the price from $71.95 to $61.95.

But, I did not want to stop there. Because it’s all about recession on TV and I know this package can help you out make some extra $$$. So, I reduced that price further down and it finally landed at no more, no less, but exactly $56.95!

What else can I say? Check the previews of all of them, that’s all I need to say. Just check the previews and let your imagination do the rest.

New Free Photoshop Brushes Set (Photoshop 7.0 Compatible)

New Free Photoshop Brushes Set (Photoshop 7.0 Compatible)

Space Photoshop brushes set, free downloadFinally – after a long wait, new Photoshop brushes set is here! Space Flames!

I’ve been really busy (bee) for last few days working on some things off-line: did some scrapbooks, photo printing and resolving issues at some projects. Among all, I also had: sickness (2x), visits to three emergency hospitals and three (live!) meetings with three different clients. Not to mention one birthday, one marriage celebration and springtime planting!

What a week!

On the top of it all, I’m still waiting for the shopping cart to get ready and starting to worry about it because now it’s thirteenth day of the no-shop period. But, since I’m an coding idiot I have to rely on others. And that’s always a tricky for me, because I get stressed out very easily.

I’ll try not to write about it, ‘cos I do not want to weep here.

So, here it is – the free set of Space Flames Photoshop brushes, 6 of them in this LITE edition (brushes are compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5)

You can preview them here and download them HERE :)

Using those brushes you will be able to create effects like this:

Enjoy,
Silvia

Note: Sorry, 5 days subscription free download offer expired. Download is now available after joining GBG. Please read about our free download policy and join our GBG for more free downloads. Thanks!

But, I’d still recommend the subscription. Not only because I only write about cool graphics related stuff, but also because I do it in a funny way ;-) Not to mention that it will give you access to another bunch of some 40+ free of my Photoshop brushes.

All Brushes Offered for Download on This Blog Are Now Photoshop 7.0 Compatible

Advanced Photoshop MagazinePhotoshop 7.0 Brushes, as we know, are compatible with all succeeding Photoshop versions.

I took me while to convert them all but it’s done now and you’re welcome to download them! (After the subscription to my Newsletter – where I only write about cool stuff, of course)

Last year, in summer, I started creating Photoshop brushes using Photoshop CS2, then I upgraded to Photoshop CS3 and didn’t even dreamed about how many of you would like (and love :)) to have my brushes… No, really.

After a few months, I received many questions about Photoshop 7.0 compatibility (I received one question for 6.0 version, but hey – that was a little bit too much for me). Somewhere, somehow I found in my old Photoshop 5.0 box, but then, this version had a serious brush size limitation, so I decided to go with Photoshop 7.0 as it allowed 2500px brush size.

All PS brushes are compatible with Photoshop Elements 6.0 too! Darijan tested it and it works fine!

Now, I’m happy to announce that my brushes will be added to “Digital Arts” June and July issue, and “Macworld” June issue! I didn’t expected such a great exposure and I’m overjoyed!
