  1. Nousheen you always come up with great resources…

    accept my compliments…hats off to you.

    Hope you will keep it up :)

  2. It really bugs me that most of these are just images – not brushes at all (although for once there are actually a few brushes with actual dynamics!). The Subtle Wood Brushes for example: “Each brush is 2500×2000”. Does anyone else think that the crowbarring of stock images into the brush tool is a silly idea?

  3. cool brushess…. ahh i just downloaded subtle wood brushes and i really found it amazing, glenn i think you did not download it? i must say you to download zip file and use and check it, this brush will create some mindblowig wood textures effect in different color surfaces..

  4. What a great post, some really cool brushes here, thank you very much for sharing these with all of us, my personal favorite which i have been trying to track down for a while now are the brick textures, they are a really high quality and they will definitely be used in my future web projects, thank you very much again

  5. Wonderful collection! It would be nice if you had sharing options for your posts :) I tweeted it manually, but would have been easier if you had a tweet this button or facebook share, etc.

  6. Ahhh… free stuff is always welcome!! While I do agree with Glenn, there is nothing special about converting an image into a brush there are still some good “brushes” in this collection. And did I mention they are FRREEEE:)

  7. Well, what can I say? Nousheen, this is an amazing post that you have shared with your readers. Thanks for providing us with these resourceful photoshop brushes. Kudos

  8. Great resource, thanks for the great sets! I love all the smokey and grungy brushes.

    Caveat Emptor: Some of these brushes are not free for commercial use or as is the case with the first one (glowing brushes), require contact prior to use. The Bokeh brushes have xome awkward requirements for commercial use as well.

    Also all of the brushking.eu direct download links do not work, not that you should click those anyway.

  9. Well, what can I say? Nousheen, this is an amazing post that you have shared with your readers. Thanks for providing us with these resourceful photoshop brushes. Kudos
