More Photoshop Brushes from Adobe CC
One thing that I noticed when I purchased my Adobe Creative Cloud membership and Photoshop CC was the small number of default brushes in the Brushes panel. In my Brushes panel, I had four small groups of brushes.
8 General Brushes
6 Dry Media Brushes
6 Wet Media Brushes
8 Special Effects Brushes
After taking a closer look, I found that there are 1000s of digital brushes available for download and they are free with your Creative Cloud membership. I didn't hesitate one minute before I grabbed the new brushes and started painting. So just what do you get?
These free brushes, available for download from a special page on the Adobe website, are created by Kyle T. Webster and work in both Photoshop CC and Photoshop Sketch for iPad. At the end of 2018, there are 17 brush packs for download. You will want to return to this page occasionally for updates and new packs.
