My intent with this batch was to create some dirt and stain brushes -hence the 'dirty fingers' name. I'm not sure how well I did but hope they will be of some use to you. I took various pices of paper and stained them with stuff I had in the cabinets and then scanned them and made them into brushes. You can preview the brushes in this collection here.

I made the brushes using metal and rust textures as a base. Photoshop's brush engine is really powerful so experiment and see what you come up with. You can preview the brushes in this collection here.

Here is a small collection of 10 brushes I made to create stone textures -or anything else you want to try.  The ZIP contains a Photoshop abr file which you need to put in your Photoshop\Presets\Brushes folder.

I made the brushes from images of stone, fungus, and some fractals to add complexity. The preview image was created with a stroke from each of the brushes. Photoshop's brush engine is really powerful so experiment and see what you come up with. You can preview the brushes in this collection here. 

Here is a small collection of 10 brushes I made to damage wood -or anything else you want to try it on.  The ZIP contains a Photoshop abr file which you need to put in your Photoshop\Presets\Brushes folder.

I made the brushes from images of fungus, rotten, cracked, gnarled,  and axe bitten wood. I used one of the brushes along with some layer effects to create the moss, stamp some damage marks and with the eraser to expose a lighter wood layer beneath. I didn't add any presets so you can fiddle with the brush settings. You can also preview the brushes in this collection here. 

Here is a second collection of 10 'wood damage' brushes I made -of course you can use them any way you want.  The ZIP contains a Photoshop abr file which you need to put in your Photoshop\Presets\Brushes folder.

I made the brushes by combining layers of fungus, rotten, cracked, gnarled,  and axe bitten wood with some simple fractals. I used a few of the brushes to create the sample image on this page. You can also preview the brushes in this collection here.
