P.S. I Love You: Calligraphy Brushes

October 25, 2012

Photoshop Calligraphy Brushes

I installed these calligraphy brushes last week. I’ve only used them to draw arrows, really (like the ones here and here). Though I’m obviously not a calligrapher, I enjoy using these brushes anyway. I love how the angled nibs create natural-looking lines of varying width and taper. Very nice. If you like these brushes and you have Adobe Photoshop, you will find them in the presets folder.
