Use brush on old fashioned, real white paper to make some more or less straight lines. Scan them in gray or B&W mode on 300 pix/inch resolution.

apit says
good but u all not honest… u said free but still need money for downloading….?????
bsilvia says
apit, this brush is FREE… what do you want?
I have “product section”, so you don’t have to go there if you don’t want to.
Don’t be ungrateful, this makes me sad and unwilling to create anything for free.

Not to mention apit that you didn’t leave your real email address!
But you downloaded it for free, right?
Brave. Nuff said.

Hi, I am thankful for the free downloads of brushes you have..I have downloaded some of it though and a specific one I have been trying to search through other sites is the frangipani(plumeria) floral brush or in custom shape..Let alone creating one of this which is far from my knowledge and as a beginner working on photoshop with great downloads from your site is superb..Keep up the good work and hopefully with more of floral brushes free downloads..CIAO
