Where to download the figures for Photoshop and how to install them? Create templates for cutting

In the last article "Where to download fonts and how to install them?"I started to talk about how to create their own product templates in Photoshop, and also shared a small collection of beautiful fonts for making words and inscriptions of plywood (wood). Today, I will continue this theme and talk, where you can download the shapes (brush) for Photoshop and how to install them.

Before I begin, I will say a few words about why I started making patterns for cutting yourself. I think many of you have encountered a problem when drawing downloaded from the Internet was very poor quality. such drawings contour lines blurred, and this reduces the accuracy in cutting. To fix this I had to trace the outline of the drawing by hand in pencil, and it took a lot of time. As a result, I have concluded that it is easier to make patterns and gradually began to study photohop.

Making your own template, drawing obtained with a clear contour line. Due to the different shapes can very quickly create an interesting pattern, so I began to actively use them. For example, the template for producing

nominal hangers I have used figures of butterflies and hearts, and the basis of topper cake is a pattern that is now in my set of figures.

With a little practice, the creation of the template takes me no more than 30 minutes and in the end get high-quality drawings, which then can be edited to your liking.

Let's move on to where you can download custom shapes and how to download the program.

To use a custom shape on the left side of the menu you must select the tool "an arbitrary figure".

And then at the top click on the arrow in the box marked "Form dot"And you'll get a window with all the extra pieces.
