20 Sea Shells Brushes for Photoshop

Share

We had a great weekend at the beach last weekend.  While walking on a white sandy beach with my four-year old son, we spotted different sea shells and a few star fishes. They were very beautiful so I took plenty of pictures of these lovely creatures that we saw. When we reached home, I was so excited when I found out that the pictures really looked great that I decided to share these wonderful images with the rest of the world.

But, I wanted to be more creative. So instead of sharing these images as photographs, I decided to make Photoshop brushes out of these images of sea shells and other sea  creatures (since I’m an avid Photoshopper). So I started making Photoshop brushes and indeed, the result was awesome. But, my son insisted that I include his favorite dolphin, manta ray, and shark and even Nemo (that clown fish!). Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find a decent picture of Nemo that I could use for this set.  So, in short, I was bullied by a kid to come up with a more complete set of  Photoshop brushes of sea shells and other sea creatures.

I created these Photoshop brushes using Photoshop CS3 so I assume (correct me if I am wrong) that you can use these Photoshop brushes with any CS version of Photoshop. The set features 20 ultra large-sized Photoshop brushes of seashells, star fishes, crab, octopus, shark, dolphin, manta ray, etc. The picture above, however, does not include all the 20 Photoshop brushes in this set. The maximum resolution of each brush is set at around 2500 pixels while the file size of the zipped .ABR file that you can download is around 21MB.

Below is the preview in Photoshop CS3 of these Photoshop brushes:

So here is my first set of Photoshop brushes that you can use for free and without any restrictions in both your private and commercial projects. However, please refrain from making this set os sea shell Photoshop brushes available for use in other websites. Please link to this article if you would like to spread the word.

I hope you like my brushes. have fun and enjoy!

    Hi Cat, a dialogue box for downloading the brushes should pop up when you click the download button. If your browser does not allow pop ups then that could be the problem I think. You can just try to right click on the download button and choose “Save target as” in IE or “Save link as” in Mozilla.

    Also, I guess you are using Mac because other people using Mac are also complaining about the same thing. I’m still trying to figure out the solution to this one. :)

    Please could u tell me, how is it possible to quickly remove the background from an image in Photoshop?

  8. adminNo Gravatar on September 16th, 2009 at 8:49 pm

    @Indian Arts -
    Just select the portion that you wish to remove with any of the selection tool (such as lasso, magic wand, etc.) and then hit delete. Or you can use the eraser tool to delete the selected portion. I hope that helps.
