The New Freebies Section is Looking Fabulous

Oct 26th in News by Sean Hodge

We recently kicked off PSDTUTS V4, which launched some refinements to the theme of the site, and we also have some new sections. One of those is the Freebies Section. Check it out if you haven't yet, as it's growing quickly. Also, here is a quick link if your looking to Submit a Freebie. Let's take a look at some of the first additions to this new feature of PSDTUTS.

Author: Sean Hodge

Hi All! I recently moved to the outskirts of Orlando, Florida. I'm the editor of Psdtuts+ and Vectortuts+. Also, visit my blog AiBURN where I feature some of my creative work and ideas. Or follow me on Twitter: @seanHodge.

Sidewalk Series Vol. 2 Oil Stains

In creating this series, the artist was "immediately drawn to all the cracks, stains, and spots on the sidewalk and in the street." This is Sidewalk Series Vol. 2 Oil Stains of the series titled "Oil Stains." They are just that, 10 high resolution grungy concrete stains.

T9 Dirty Brushes

David Leggett of Tutorial 9 put together a set of T9 Dirty Brushes. They are a cool set of dirty brushes. Use them to add some urban flare to your digital creations, build powerful graphics, or whatever else you wish to use them for.

Hyper Brushes

This is a very cool set of Hyper Brushes. One of the PSDTUTS readers Koko states in a comment, "Those are awesome, gonna use them in some artworks - im sure of this."

Urban Floral

Grab a set of Urban Floral brushes for some really cool effects. Craigsnedeker states in a comment, "Wickedness brushes!! Great work. Thanks for this."

Freebie Paper Texture Images

And you thought we were just going to do brushes. While our form is currently set up to promote Photoshop brushes as freebies, we'll certainly look at other types as well, like these great paper textures from PSDFAN. Freebie Paper Texture Images

How to Contribute Freebies

On the Freebies page you can see the Submit button below. Clicking on that brings you to the Submit a Freebie Page of the About Section. From there you can click on the Submit Your Work Link. This brings you to the Freebie Submission Form. It's currently set up to accept Photoshop Brush Pack designs, though we'll accept other Photoshop related freebies as well. Have fun and I look forward to reviewing more great submissions!

    One more reason to love tuts! I have followed this site since a month or two after the launch, and I’m always impressed with the new additions your making to the site. This freebies section has the potential to be a huge draw in for new members, or for the new members to come back on a more constant rate.

    On a side note, one thing I have noticed from being the world renown internet user I am, most sites which specialize in Photoshop tutorials and shapes, brushes, and textures… regardless of how good their tutorials are…. if they have a huge selection of brushes and textures, they always seem to succeed. I think this is a good direction for PSD in my opinion. Everyone here knows that PSD already has the tutorials on lock, and in my opinion, it will be the freebies section that will allow PSD to dominate the market (in a completely different way then you already are!).

    I mean yes, if I have to make my own brush, shape, or texture I will… but to be honest, the first thing I do is check all my side sites to see if they have something similar to what I want. If PSD is planning on taking this section serious, which I highly recommend, I would love to see some shapes and layer styles… quality, practical shapes and layer styles are pretty hard to find. I know there are quite a few gradients, brushes, and textures out there… those are everywhere.

    Another thing… and I know I have well passed said my peace, but I would love to see a contest for shapes, layer styles, brushes or anything, and then collecting the best and adding them to the new freebies section. This would stock freebies up with quite a few decent additions because I know we have plenty of creative users on this site.

    Thanks,
    Chris
