Photoshop Brushes Free Download – Grunge Stars: it’s here for you, so subscribe to my newsletter & download it, use it for your creative projects :)
Ooooo…. I’m feeling sick for last two days. It’s mainly because of the south wind here. People are nervous and depressive. And in combination with a full moon… well, than some humans can easily turn into monsters.
My head is like a balloon, and I can stand only particular few near me… I’m a little aggressive and just hate working on computer. It’s a silly thing, but today we had a supper for 10 people. Imagine that. But everything went quite nice.
So, this afternoon I managed to make the Grunge Stars Photoshop Brushes (set of 18 brushes) – free, of course!

Few days ago I received a message from my Croatian web hosting provider. It wasn’t very nice email. They said something like reaching the bandwidth quota (which is 3GB) on my dgdesign.hr server and form now on I will have to pay for additional bandwidth.
I’m furious! All my FREE brushes, vectors, symbols… etc are stored there so that my blog visitors can download them for FREE are now turned into a real expense to me as I HAVE TO PAY for an additional bandwidth to my web hosting provider!
Luckily, I got bsilvia.com and blogffiliate.com on Siteground with flat rate bandwidth there so I moved all my FREE download files from dgdesign.hr server to bsilvia.com server.
I hope the amount to pay will not be too huge…

Guys, I’m in a mess! Today, I have to shoot some people :)…
…no, not really: I’ll do a photo session with a loads of people ! And I have do it in my apartment because I don’t have a studio anymore. Well, studio that I had was too small and my current living room is big enough but I don’t like the idea that lot of people mess around my apartment while i work.
The situation: my friend Marina call me one day to ask if I could make a photo session for another friend of her called Suzana. She (Suzana) makes woman stockings and she wants some professional images for her next brochure. I don’t shooting per request, especially here in Croatia where everyone is… well, I don’t like shooting per request. I like to sell images I make through stock agencies much better.
So, in that case I stated that I will not ask for payment, but I will take 50% or more photos for my needs. The models will sign “Model Release Forms” and I will be able so sell these images on stock agencies.
So, this photo-shooting session will involve: my friend’s girlfriend Melani (who is also my Italian teacher), who will be a model, one girl (Dinka) who I don’t really know that well, my friend Marina (she will be the makeup artist) and the “client” – Suzana. Suzana also mentioned Irina (graphic designer) wants to be present. (Did I mention that I don’t appreciate the idea of too many people hanging around my apartment as I work?) I’m nervous. Really nervous!
So, guys – wish me luck, ‘cos I gonna need it!
Images will be posted here (at bsilvia.com)… at least few of them.
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving day to my visitors from USA!

It’s a great feeling when someone uses my work and when I get to know that person! That’s great. And that’s all about!
So, please guys: make me happy every day: please send me a link with your work, or your work … or anything that uses my Photoshop brushes, Illustrator symbols and other. I’d like to see all that great things you can do!
Happy thoughts!

I assume that you worked on your swirls creation technique with a little help of my previous tutorial (How to draw swirls illustrations in Adobe Illustrator, Part One).
Now, let’s make a little case study. To make a Swirl Illustrations that looks like the one in the header of graphics-illustrations blog, we need:
- Swirls symbols set, Adobe Illustrator
- Ink Splatter symobls set, Adobe Illustrator
- Classic artist brush set or Classic Artist brush symbols set
- Adobe Illustrator Floral Brushes set
Determine the size and shape of the blank space. We will now use simple quadrant shape.
Create a new layer bellow. Use the simple artist brush symbol below the layer that contains the quadrant to create an “outline”
Again, create a new layer. Now add some ink splatters around, on that layer.
Add some swirls on the layer above the layer that contains ink splatters (but bellow the layer with the shape and layer with it’s outline)
Add some more swirls, and also add some swirls on the new layer on the top.
In the end, add some stars… and that’s it.

If you’re wondering how to colorize the symbols or even change their shapes: select all symbols and use the “Break Link to Symbol” – now you can manipulate shapes and colors until the dawn breaks or until you’re happy with the results – whatever comes first

Hello! :)
For last two days I’ve been struggling to install two new blogs of mine into their web server homes (bsilvia.com and blogffiliate.com). Until now it was never too hard for me to select a web design. Until now. Dark one? Or light? Which font? Arial, Trebuchet or Tahoma? Fixed width or not? More or less colorful?…. And so on…
Today I have prepared another symbols set before we start with How to draw swirls illustrations in Adobe Illustrator, Part Two. This set has been taken out from the classic brush stroke and classical ink on paper. It was then scanned and edited in Adobe Illustrator.
This set can be downloaded like the classic artist brush set for Adobe Illustrator and/or classic artist brush symbols set for Adobe Illustrator.
