Freebie Art Textures in the Shop!

UPDATE: This special will be up until August 11!

Digital painters, check out the free textures in the Studio|chris Shop! The newly listed texture collection, Art Materials #1 will be free until the end of the month. These textures were created with real art materials with the goal of being able to add a bit of traditional media to your digital paintings. The 600DPI textures are presented totally unedited from their original form allowing the greatest flexibility in styling to fit into your workflow.

Create instant nondestructive colored pencil strokes in 3 easy steps:

  1. Convert one of the colored pencil textures to black and white.
  2. Copy the texture onto a new layer above your original image in Screen mode.
  3. Tweak with levels to get the desired effect.

The resulting image may be used “as is” with no other work needed or would make a great underpainting for a start in Painter or Photoshop. Of course, these textures aren’t limited to photo based art, how many ways can you find to use them?
