30+ Free Smoke Brushes for Photoshop

Are you a smoker? Or have you ever tried to smoke a cigarette, a pipe, whatever? I must confess that I started to smoke when I was a teenager. It seemed to me that I look cooler with a cigarette in my mouth. I quit the habit and started to smoke again for several times. Nearly 3 years ago I clearly understood that smoking is addictive and I don't want to be that dependent of anything in my life.

However, I am still not indifferent to the smoke itself. There is some aesthetics in the intricate fluid forms it takes.

And you know what? You really don't need to be a smoker to enjoy this aesthetics. I am going to convince you in my viewpoint without any harm to your health.


I am going to start out by featuring a collection of Photoshop brushes. I am focusing on smoke brush sets to help you create a myriad of mysterious effects with shadows and glows to make the illusion of graphic smoke emulation.
