BittBox was recently chosen to be featured as a resource in Computer Arts Magazine Issue #135.

Free Hi-Res Watercolor Photoshop Brushes

April 19, 2007 | Posted in Freebies | 321 Comments »

I am happy to announce BittBox’s first set of Photoshop Brushes (Free). I’m constantly going back and forth between Illustrator and Photoshop in my projects, and I’m starting to pretty much make everything from scratch. I often have trouble finding brushes that are big enough for what I’m doing, so I just made my own. The smallest Brush in this set is 1989px! I was limited by CS2 to 2500 pixels, so that is as big as they get. The set contains 18 brushes. Download below:
