How to create a set of Photoshop grunge brushes | Veerle’s blog

Experiment on paper

One way to create your own set of grunge brushes is by first experimenting on paper. Creating a grunge style means you can go wild—the dirtier the better. In the first example, I used watercolors on a piece of rough-textured watercolor paper. If watercolor painting is out of the question, try coffee. All you need is paper, coffee, and a straw. With the straw you can create nice splatters if you suck a tiny bit of coffee into the straw and blow it onto the paper. It’s a simple and fun technique, and it’s really effective for achieving the perfect grunge splatters. You could also start from a digital image—just look for concrete or rusty structures.

Experiment on paper with watercolor or coffee

Digitize and apply levels

Next, scan your watercolor or coffee artwork at a high resolution. Open your scanned artwork in Photoshop, and desaturate it (Image>Adjustments>Desaturate). Click the Create New Adjustment Layer icon in the Layers panel and select Levels. The values will be different for each image and will depend on the result you want to achieve, but in most situations you’ll have to drag the outer white and black sliders toward the middle to create a black-and-white image. Make sure you don’t exaggerate it too much, though, and that there are some gray areas left.

This is a great article, read all about how below!

Save The Head™, slap the patch!

Place the patch on a dry, hairless part of your body before you start drinking

  • Leave the patch on throughout the following day
  • Drink Orange Juice & water to help re-hydrate your body, that’s it!

    PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
    Follow usage instructions or product WILL NOT work. Once you apply the patch leave it on! Do NOT remove. If you peel the patch off, it will not re-adhere.

OFFICIAL PATCH INSTRUCTIONS: Apply the patch 2 hours before starting to drink; place the patch on a CLEAN, HAIRLESS, UNBLEMISHED and COMPLETELY DRY part of your body. Make sure the patch is smooth and flat on the skin and that the edges are smooth to ensure that the patch does not come off accidentally by contact with clothes. The patch system is waterproof and will continue to operate while swimming or bathing; when properly applied to your skin. Leave the patch on for 24 to 36 hours.

FOR PROLONGED USE: place the patch on different parts of the body so that the adhesive of the patch will not cause a slight rash at the application location. If a rash persists, stop using the product as you may have very sensitive skin.

TRANSDERMAL PATCH: is a highly efficient, safe, and easy to use method of delivering active ingredients to the body and has been in use since 1982. Patches are used for many applications, such as nicotine patches to stop smoking. They operate by infusing ingredients into the skin by osmosis using a strict rate control release technology. In the case of Save the Head™ your hangover relief is no longer a myth, its reality!
