I've been admiring some beautiful illustrations and examining the techniques the artists use to add details to their work. One popular shading method I've noticed is particularly prominent in apparel design and illustrations with a retro vibe is the use of stippling, where fine vector textures are added to build up tones and shade in areas of darkness. After seeing how effective this technique is, I created my own set of Illustrator scatter brushes to provide myself and my followers the tools required to create this effect. Download this pack of 8 stipple shading brushes to easily paint grungy details onto your artwork with Illustrator's brush tool. What’s Included? - 8 Illustrator Brushes How to Use: Install the brushes by navigating to ‘Open Brush Library’ > ‘Other Brush Library’ from the Brush panel menu. Select ‘Stipple Shading Illustrator Brushes Brush File.AI’ from the download package. Alternatively, a standard Illustrator file is included that contains a range of paths with all the brushes applied. Copy and Paste these paths into your working document to have the brushes automatically transferred into your Brushes panel.

This set of texture graphics is MAGIC... Well not really, but kind of! If you’re an Adobe Illustrator fan I’m sure you love creating vector art. It can be scaled to any size and it’s easy to change the fill colour, unlike raster images. Unfortunately when it comes to textures, thousands of tiny vector paths and points can soon bog down your system, but what if there was a magical CPU friendly raster texture that was just as versatile as your favourite vector graphics? Introducing my Magic Bitmap Textures for Adobe Illustrator. This pack of magic bitmap textures contains 30 grainy texture graphics from sparse speckles to heavy grunge. They’re all edgeless, so they blend nicely into your artwork without any hard lines. What makes these bitmap textures truly magical is their colour changing ability in Adobe Illustrator. Drag or place a texture into your document, then apply a different colour fill to see the texture change colour just like a vector graphic. Dimensions of around 2500-3000px in size still makes them usable in your large format designs, but they’re much less prone to bogging down your computer as a detailed vector texture often does. Use these magic bitmap textures as backgrounds, or to easily distress your artwork. Add them to Opacity Masks, trim them to size with Clipping Masks, build up multiple layers of texturing, or experiment with different blending modes. What's Included? - 30 BMP Textures

Stippling is a classic technique to add shading and colour to an illustration. Depending on the density of the dots, stippling can be used to fill areas or create gradient effects that fade out, while adding interesting stylistic and texturing effects to your work. Traditionally, stippling would be produced by manually placing each and every dot with the nib of a pen, but with this pack of Photoshop brushes, you can quickly paint thousands of dots across your artwork. With these 8 brush tips featuring varying dot spread and densities, you can easily apply a light scattering or a heavy fill with no repetitive pattern. Each brush in this Stipple Shading pack has been saved with the appropriate brush settings to automatically rotate and scatter as you paint to ensure an even distribution of dots. The brush tips range from a light distribution of dots to gradual changes in density to produce fade effects. My favourite technique is to use the Lasso tool to form a mask around the area of your illustration you want to apply shading to, then paint the stippling effect within the mask on a new layer. What’s Included? - 8 Photoshop Brushes How to Use: Install the brushes by navigating to the ‘Import Brushes’ option from the Brush panel menu.
