Graphic Design

For picture to be perfect, sometimes it lacks some of the details. And then the questions arise. Where to look? What to look for? To speed up this photo editing process, people often choose the easy method of using resources. But the thing is – they are hard to find and costs you valuable time. Of course, most of us already know that a lot of things come from deviantART, but what will you do in the case you don’t find what you need?

I searched for a fairly long time, until finally gathered these resource sites and I hope that it will be useful not only for me but for you too.

1. deviantART

Here you can find almost everything and of course there are plenty of free PSD resources, icons, layouts, textures and much more available. You just need to take your time and do research and I am sure you’ll find what you looking for there.

Mike Lynch shares some of his tips for traveling with ink, nibs, and brushes. Taping a brush between two pieces of card stock is brilliant, and I don’t know why I never thought of it before.
