Random Brushes Tip:
You can add texture to a brush fairly easily (although, working on high resolutions on slower computers, you may have a bit of trouble… adding texture to brushes this way can definitely slow the brush down).
- Select the brush that you want to paint with.
- Then, hit F5 to bring up your brushes tab (unless you already have it open, of course).
- Click on “Texture”
- You can choose the texture that you want just like you would choose a pattern. Click on the small arrow next to the thumbnail, and it will bring up a list of all the available, currently loaded textures. (To load more, you would then choose the arrow on the top right of that window and choose from amongst the available listed pattern sets, at the bottom of that list.)
- You can change the scale of the texture using the “Scale” slider. This makes the texture smaller or larger.
- “Depth” specifies how deeply the paint penetrates into the texture. Type a number, or use the slider to enter a value. At 100%, the low points in the texture do not receive any paint. At 0%, all points in the texture receive the same amount of paint, therefore hiding the pattern.
- “Minimum Depth,” therefore, determines the minimum depth to which paint will penetrate.
- “Depth Jitter” will make the depth change randomly as you paint, to give it more of a randomly splotchy look.
- You can also change the “Mode,” which defaults to “Subtract.” Play around with how each one looks in the preview at the bottom of the window.

I downloaded this brush and it’s not this brush… it came up as another brush and it didn’t have any graduation stuff. I really want this brush, please fix it if you can!
Allison: I just checked this, and it IS the graduation sketches brushes. The image pack seems to be correct, as well. Are you sure that you were looking at the right file?

I am not sure what may have happened for you, but I just tried it, and this is most definitely the right brush. Try it again, perhaps?
Let me know if it still doesn’t work for you!
I cannot download this brush file. When I click the link, it opens in a new Explorer window and i get the message that says “This ID doesn’t exist!”
@odessa: This one’s fixed now, too. :) There was an error with one of my information files last night, hence all the temporary not-working downloads. And here I thought it was me! ;)
Anyway, working now… sorry for the inconvenience.

Trying to download graduation brushes and this is what I got.
I see there have been problems before.
This is what it said: This ID doesn’t exist!
I got the Image pack just fine. I love your brushes, just liked your other website looks better.
Thank you!:))
@marj: Should work now! Occasionally, a file that I have that handles my downloads gets mixed up and I just have to fix it. Been working on getting a better one made, but having some trouble with finding some honest script creators! As for the site design, sorry you’re not as fond of it! I simply ran out of room for things on my other one, and it was harder for most people to find information. It WAS more unique, though, that’s for sure. :)
You fixed it, woohoo! Thanks so much! You make great brushes, like the tutorials and helpful tips.
THANK YOU!! These brushes worked GREAT for me. I needed a quick ‘clip art’ for a graduation invite for a customer. Not wanting to spend the time doing it myself, I found your site. FAST, EASY and PERFECT! I bookmarked you for future reference. Thanks again.
Cool…thank you so much! :^D
Thank you so much!! These brushes were amazing and exactly what I was looking for!! What a great job!! Can’t thank you enough!!
