If you’re looking for more free brushes check out my other post here.

Well.  They’re finally here.  The free acrylic PS brushes I mentioned the other day.  I had a blast putting these together so I hope you will enjoy using them.

Here’s the deal.  These are absolutely free for personal or commercial use, though I would greatly appreciate it if you gave me credit for these brushes by refrencing this post and/or http://www.theshoreways.com.

You can download the .abr file here.

Here’s how they look as thumbs in PS.

Special thanks to Ryan Collman for helping me out with some of the technical aspects and just being a big help during the process.

Here’s what he created using the brushes. (another good example of what they’re capable of)

If your interested send me a couple of images you create using these brushes and I will compile them in a “user showcase” in a few weeks.

These are completely free, though donations are much appreciated.

EDIT:
Due to some complaints, I switched the host from Megauploads to MediaFire, sorry for any inconviences megauploads may have caused.  If someone has the means to host this file off their server, that would totally help out.  Thanks.
Thanks for the offers for hosting, but Qbrushes has graciously hosted them on his website here

    Re megaupload, I’d recommend MediaFire instead… *much* better / less annoying

    Thanks for the great brushes! Only thing is - now I have to explain why I had $#%@*& pictures of pretty young women on my monitor. Got a spare couch?

  8. Lonnie Says:

    Good Lord that was the worst download site EVER - I’ve never used megaupload before and I hope I never have to again.

    Nice brushes though.

  9. Jeff Says:

    Hey guys, my deepest apologies about megaupload. I had never used it before (should have done a bit more research). I switched the host to mediafire, thank Oliver for the suggestion. Thanks for the great feedback.

    If anyone has the means to host this file off their server feel free to contact me.

    Dear Jeff, My name is Jessica Henry, and I would just like to say that I love your brushes. I work for NACCAP(North American Coalition for Christian Admission Professionals) this summer as a graphic design intern. I found your brushes via bittbox and my boss and I have decided to use them in our member services & directory.

    I will definitely make sure to include your name and site so that everyone knows that those designs are yours! Is there an e-mail that I can send you the final pieces to?

    Thank you so much and God Bless.
