8+ Rope Brushes

Photoshop brushes are designed by digital artists for other digital artists, who care so much about their craft and the level of detail that goes into making it work that they almost kill themselves over it. Be smarter about your options. If you’re going to be drawing a lot of chains and ropes in your projects, don’t free-hand every chain link and twist of rope. These rope and chain brushes will do the work for you – easy, effective, and with amazing, flexible detail.

These aren’t the “stamp” or “sticker” kind of brushes. The brush point will be a single chain link that you can drag and loop to create your chain. These are ABR files and GIMP brushes, some for free with licensing restrictions, and others you’ll have to pay a little for.

How to Use These Brushes

The designers of these ABR and GIMP files were very meticulous in making these brushes super-useful:

If you have Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator CS6 to CC, these will work great for you. Corel painters will need version 2016 and up to import ABR files. GIMP files, of course, are for Gimp.

Use these for anything you need in your graphic projects:

You also have more options with brushes that allow some degree of customization, or those that come preset with various designs.

A Note on Using These Brushes

Before using on commercial projects, make sure to check out any licensing restrictions that may apply.

Others on offer here are free altogether, and yet others require you to pay a licensing fee up front before you can use them. Help out a fellow artist and follow the terms. This stuff can save your software, hardware, and your sanity.

Bonus
