Pencil Brushes

Here are a couple of Photoshop brush sets that I made from pencil marks which are good for building up grungy textures. The first set was made from hard scribble marks.

I like to turn the Size Jitter off and set the Angle Jitter to Pen Pressure control around 30% in the Shape Dynamics settings. I set the Scatter to 100% with Pen Pressure control and the Count to 2. With these brushes I like to set the Opacity(under Other Dynamics) to Pen Control so that I can vary the density of the brush with my Wacom tablet.

The second set was made with softer leads on textured paper. I like to turn off the shape dynamics so that the texture stays consistent. Interesting effects can be had by playing with the Shape Dynamics options, though.
