Five Fantastic Gothic Photoshop Brushes
Sometimes there’s just something to be said for old world, Medieval craftsmanship and the attention paid to detail. Cathedrals were massive stone creations, rimmed with beautiful hand-cut stain glass, and housed elaborate statues and intricate paintings. Sure, some people might associate the time period with a creepy feeling, but whether you love it for the spook or you love it for the artistic value, you have to admit that there is a charm of the Gothic era! This article features some great Gothic inspired Photoshop brushes, so you can give all your projects that old world flare!
