[urbanista]

Hello :D I was wondering how do you make those cool grundgey-ish brushes? I know about the clouds and stuff but what ese can ou do?

Where do you get your ideas for brushes?

What type of things do you use


Here are some examples of some brushes I would like to learn how to make :D

I would recommened you draw them and scan them in.
For textures use brushes or your own photography. Thats what I usally do.

I have a tutorial for the pen tool: http://sugarysweet.net/pages/tutorials/illustrator/pen.php
I sort of know how to use it, I've used it at home and at school but I don't have it on my computer anymore. I'll look for some other tutorials for you though. I know there's some brushes on there that are grungey that you could use.
edit: here's a good one that shows you all the warp tools:
