10 awesome freebies for Photoshop

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 06:47 PM PDT

Freebies for Photoshop always prove useful. They allow you to save tons of time by doing all the hard work for you.

For example, how long would it take you to create watercolor textures for a design. Probably hours, and that’s a conservative estimate. To save you this time, I have compiled a collection of great freebies for Photoshop.

1. Halftone automator Photoshop action

Halftone effect looks great, but it can be hard to produce in Photoshop. This Photoshop action will make your life much easier.

Mike Stilkey paints characters on stacks of books

If you buy Mike Stilkey‘s artworks painted on stacks of books, you must think of one thing: how will I move it if I must go live somewhere else?

Jokes aside, I found his characters painted on stacks of books just majestic. He works sometimes with only a few books, but some installations are quite spectacular and involve full libraries.

These book sculptures are available at Gilman Contemporary gallery in Ketchum, Idaho.
