Self-Portrait (Caleb)

Useful brushes that someone else made

This is my favorite set of brushes that I thought I'd share with everyone. With a little practice, you can paint almost anything with these brushes, and get incredible details and textures with some simple layering.

If you're interested, the download link is near the top right of the page. The artist has also been generous enough to make them free to use, meaning you don't have to give him credit in any artwork you produce with this brush.

Here's an example painting the same artist did using these brushes:
