Weekly Download: Photoshop Brushes, Series 16
25 brushes for creating dust and trail effects
David Nagel

For our free download this week, we offer our 16th collection of brushes for Adobe Photoshop. This time around, we move into a new area of functionality: brushes designed to create trail effects, such as twinkling stars, fairy dust, multi-colored confetti and the like. Our collection this week includes 25 such brushes, all designed to fade out using pressure from a Wacom tablet, though they can also be adjusted for use without a tablet.

Our collection this week includes 25 brushes designed for creating trailing particle effects. This is the first collection of this nature that we've offered, and so this week's library includes something of a mishmash of particle types--twinkles, stars, electrical arcs, bubbles, dust, etc. In order to use these brushes, you simply draw on your canvas, decreasing pressure with your pen in order to fade the brushes out. (For those of you without a tablet, you can also set the brushes to fade over a given number of steps in the Brushes palette.)
