How to create your own Photoshop brushes

In this part, we cover the basics of creating your own, custom Photoshop brushes from a pre-existing photograph or image. The tutorial by Bittbox covery not only the basics, but also gets into details about using the right settings and parameters, and also which common mistakes to avoid.

This tutorial is very well written detailed and enough to give you the knowledge you need to make your own brushes. Take a look at all of the possibilities you’ve got with custom brushes!

You can view this tutorial here. You can also find the other parts of this series on Photoshop brushes and patterns at the top of this post. Enjoy!

It’s still January, but you know what, we don’t care! Neither does Bittbox: after a 2-day server downtime due to a senescent hard drive (honestly!), they reward us with three very ’summerish’ vector sunflowers for Adobe Illustrator!

As you may have noticed……Beeex.net featured quite a few things from Bittbox in the past. Now, to be honest, this kit isn’t one of their best ones, but we still decided to feature it. Although it only contains three sunflowers, they are not bad at all, and they can be quite useful indeed.

These sunflowers come as EPS vector files, you can use them with either Illustrator 10 and up or with another vector graphics editor like Inkscape. Alternatively, you can also download the SVG version of the sunflowers.
