75 Sets of Unusual Photoshop Brushes
One of the reasons Photoshop brushes are so useful is because of their limitless use. Most of the brush packs that are available for free fall into one of several major categories, such as floral brushes, grunge brushes, splatter brushes, and of course a few others. However, there are also a number of unique and unusual brush packs that you may not be aware of. In some cases, these may prove to be very useful for a particular project.

I think brushes are really overdone in “design” communities like deviant art (where quite a few of these originated). They’re really not versatile at all. The gun brushes, for example, look nice in the preview, but how often are you going to use a monochrome gun in your art? Often enough that you want to install a whole set of gun brushes? Why not just use stock photos? The soldier brushes are great silhouettes, but what if you want to create a print-resolution poster with soldier silhouettes on it? Can’t use the brush, because it gets distorted at high resolutions. Brushes should be used for what they’re meant to do- paint. When it comes to placing images in photoshop, I think we’d all be better served to use custom shapes and stock images. If only the kids at deviantArt would figure that out, imagine the resources we’d have available. Thanks for the effort, but let’s get some .CSH files next time!
Hi Dan,
I don’t completely disagree with you, but I do think there is a use for them, it just has to be in the right situation. Of course they are going to be used less frequently than the traditional styles of brushes, but that doesn’t mean they’re useless. Stock images aren’t always any more flexible than high res brushes. Maybe for the type of work you do they are no good, but that’s not the case for everyone.
Having said that, do I expect anyone to look through this list and find loads of new brushed that they’re going to use in the next few days? Definitely not. But I hope that many people will find one or a few sets of brushes that may work for a project at some point. But my point was mostly to show the diversity of what is available.
Great collection! Urban Scrawl Brushes are definitely my favorite
Thank you for this wonderful selection…
Great selection, can’t wait to start using them. Thanks!

Hey Steven,
I might have come off a little too critical — I completely agree that there is a time and a place for brushes (if I’m artificially distressing an image or creating a textured background, custom brushes are my tool of choice). As far as your point, showing the diversity of what is available, you were definitely successful.
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the follow up comment. Like I said, you do have a point, but I’m glad you can appreciate it even if you’re personally unlikely to use these brushes.

Great share thanks for the read!
Thanks for sharing this collection, I’ve downloaded quite a few to use in future work.
Going off of what Dan said, this is a really awesome collection of brushes, but I also noticed that Deviant Art tends to produce the more picture/clip art style of brush moreso than artistic brushes. Consequently I find it easier to find brushes like these when searching for stuff.
I would love to see your blog do a collection of some of the more interesting/cooler brushes that can be used for painting in photoshop! 🙂
he images aren’t loading but if you download them you can see them!
keep up the great work on the site. Do like it! :p Could use some more frequent updates, but i’m quite sure that you have got more or better things to do like we all do. 🙂

I am really impressed that there is so much about this subject that has been uncovered and you made it so nicely, with so considerably class. Outstanding one, man! Truly special things right here.
Unusual was a great title for this post. There’s things in here I would never think to even look for. Great collection!
Some tips i have continually told people today is that when looking for a good on the net electronics shop, there are a few issues that you have to take into consideration. First and foremost, you would like to make sure to look for a reputable plus reliable retail store that has picked up great assessments and classification from other shoppers and market sector leaders. This will make sure that you are dealing with a well-known store that provides good assistance and assistance to their patrons. Thank you for sharing your thinking on this blog.
