Free Brush Set: Retro Swirls


Today, I decided to experiment a bit with Adobe Illustrator, especially with the spiral tool. I still have a lot to learn, so I decided to make a brush set for practice and share it here.

Retro Swirls Brush Set
Download (Compatible with Adobe Photoshop CS and above)

If only I had the patience to finish coding that WordPress theme though…

Actually, my main reason for posting this was because of the previous post. Everything’s fine now, and I really didn’t want to leave Clar.me with a depressing first post. I was in a bad mood when I wrote that, and, now that I’m in a better mood, but was too lazy to write a real post, I just did this.

Sometimes I’m in a bad mood when I write posts… then not long after posting it I feel better again. It makes me feel a bit silly – but hey! – we need to let off steam sometimes and I like that my blog can do that for me and let me just pour out emotions.

I’m not one to use retro brushes too often… not at all either, I don’t think. xD But they look great. :)

I just wanted to thank you for the comments you left me as well, sorry that I wasn’t able to return them earlier. I’m slowly getting into the swing of things again and having so many comments puts a huge burden on me.

Makeup wasn’t banned in school for us, but when girls wore a lot, they were told off and teachers said it was unnecessary and not appropriate.

Thank you! We don’t celebrate monthsaries too often now, since it’s been over two years, but it’s still special. :P

I have close friends online so I guess that’s why I thought people might notice I was gone… I guess it was selfish of me to think that people should have cared. But I’m getting so much support from everyone it’s heartwarming, and really makes me feel better. :)

Thank you again for your comment, it cheered me up <333

I’m a brave girl. :B

If I was a doctor and I lost a patient, I would feel extremely guilty. But there are times when people give their best efforts to save a person’s life, but it still doesn’t work.

Aw, I’m sorry. I had some fish that gave birth to babies, before. When my dad cleaned the tank, I worried if the babies were going to die. They did.

There’s a spiral tool in Illustrator? :O I tried to install Illustrator before, but it turned out that there was nothing on the disc that my cousin gave me. It’s a good thing I was able to get Photoshop.

Sometimes I write posts that sound like I’m extremely pissed off, but then after a day or two I look back at my post and the comments I’m getting, and think, “I kind of regret this.” But I can’t help it. I shared my feelings anyway.

It’s not just Krista now. Another chick died.

Photoshop is amazing. I bought Paint Shop Pro a few years ago, and I thought, ‘WOWWW.” Then my cousin gave me Photoshop and I immediately abandoned PSP.
