Brushes




After giving in and just buying the entire Adobe Creative Suite so I can end my troubles here and now .. I began looking into the various Photoshop tools that I could really get into that could help my work.  It never really occurred to me that using custom brushes for trees and foliage would help me tremendously in blending in areas of the background to look more realistic.  And after searching around for free brush sets I found many that I am all too excited to experiment with.  I have used a lot of the brushes that come with the program, but never thought about using others that I could find in the numerous places online that let you use them at no cost.  .. Why? I don't know, probably because I like to make things harder for myself.  I will just need to be careful about not making it too obvious that these things are computer generated, because that is definitely not an aesthetic that I am going for.
(Still looking for a good article.)
