A set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes composed of various vector shapes involving the earth and nature. Kind of a “green” set of brushes, if you will. Ecologically friendly, earth friendly… whatever you want to call it, these should help you represent it! These are all high resolution, and the average brush size is about 2000 pixels.
Includes various earth images (an earth inside a giant set of hands, nestled safely in a leaf, with a heart around it, inside a flower, next to some leaves, with a tree growing out of it, etc), flowers, 2 sets of grasses, several leaves, a leaf and a water drop, 2 regular recycling images, 1 water recycling image, and some trees!
Programs: Photoshop 7+, Photoshop Elements 2+, Gimp 2.2.6+
Brushes: 25
Size: 6.44MB

Brushes Tip:
Want these images to show up in several colors? Like the earth, for example.
1. Create a new layer (the button on the layers palette or Shift-Ctrl-N… CMD-SHIFT-N on a Mac).
2. Use the “earth” brush that on that new layer, using a blue color (we’re using blue because the “earth” brush will fill in the water portions of the earth).
3. Use the magic wand tool and click somewhere outside of that earth. It should select the space around the earth.
4. Choose Select > Modify > Expand, then put in 1 or 2 pixels (1 pixel if you’re working on a small scale, 2 if you’re working high-res).
5. Select > Inverse. You should now have the earth itself selected, minus a pixel or two at the edges.
6. Click on the layer beneath the one with the earth on it, and create a new layer again (Shift-Ctrl-N or Cmd-Shift-N).
7. Using the paint bucket tool, and with a green color selected, click once inside the earth to fill the rest in with green.
8. Voila! You now have a multicolored earth.
9. You could also have just painted in that green color beneath the earth, if you’re good at painting “between the lines” like you would with a coloring book!
10. When it comes to using more than 2 colors, however, I’d suggest checking out my multiple colors with photoshop brushes tutorial (with vectors like this, though, you don’t need that top, black layer – you can just erase it when you’re done).
thanks for the brushes..
i LOVE your goodies and thank you so very much for sharing! Have an AWESOME day! :)

Hi, quick question, using a borrowed computer with GIMP preloaded but am having trouble opening this file as it is saved as a .abr file. just wondering how to apply these brushes to GIMP software?
thanks,
Ninarelle
@ninarelle: There’s a bit of instructions on the page that’s linked in my sidebar – “Installing Brushes”… however, I’m not a GIMP user at all, so what’s on that page is the extent of my GIMP knowledge. Still, it may have something that’ll help you, hopefully! Other solutions that I’ve read, if it doesn’t, is something about refreshing the brushes (or maybe just restarting GIMP) to get them to be usable, if they’re showing up but not usable.
Sorry, that’s the most I know about it! If you can’t find the answer, still, try searching for “using Photoshop brushes in GIMP”
Good luck!

Hello!
I am in the process of creating bookmarks to be distributed in church. They will not be sold. I really would like to use the image of the world in the hands toward the theme of prayer. Does that violate any of your terms of use? I would be more than happy to email you the proof of the bookmark or snail-mail you a bookmark or two if possible.
Thanks!
thank you nice article
