It’s been 2 weeks since I’ve released the Hi-Res Splatter PS Brush Set. Today, with great pleasure, I release the Free Splatter & Drips Vector Set. There’s a total of 17 highly detailed splats and drips vectors in this set which comes in EPS format. Any vector editor, such as Adobe Illustrator, will be able to open them. I used brushes from both the Hi-Res Splatter PS Brush Set and the Hi-Res Messy Watercolour PS Brush Sets to create these. All vectors are solid colour silhouettes and as you all know you can scale and transform them anyway you like without loss of quality. So yes, they are perfect for print work, but look good in web designs too. As always, you may use these freebies in both commercial and personal projects without the need of attribution. I hope you like them and put them to good use. + Continue Reading
