The Most Popular Brushes on the Web
Dec 6, 2008 Resource
There is an ongoing debate between designers about the originality involved in using custom made brushes. They save time and help make designing easier, but they also detract some originality from the artwork. However, I’m of the opinion that as long as you create something unique with the brush, then true artistry still lies with the creator, not with the brush. However, what do you think? Let us know in the comments.
Meanwhile, here are some of the most popular and highest rated brushes on the internet. Hopefully you find them helpful, and if you have any you would like to see added, just leave a comment. Don’t forget to subscribe too!
