Hi Steemit! - I'm Nicolai From GrutBrushes and I make tools for digital artists
Hi! My Name is Nicolai...
...and I make downloadable tools for professional digital artists (and beginners too!) on my website GrutBrushes where I have given away a brand new free Photoshop brush every week for over 3 years
I mostly make organic looking, natural-media digital brushes as well as the Art Surfaces to use them on (infinite canvas textured digital backgrounds with 'smart' surfaces) for professional digital painters, illustrators and designers.
an example of one of my Art Surfaces for Photoshop
Before I started making digital art tools I worked in the video and film industry for over 20 years as an animator, editor and compositor (I even worked on a couple of Harry Potter movies!)
I have lived all over the world including South Africa, Italy, England, Wales, the United States but I am writing this to you from Toronto, Canada Now where I now live and work to make cool tools for artists (and try to share as many as I can for free)
I look forward to connecting with you on Steemit so if you have any questions about Photoshop brushes, digital painting or anything else I may know about feel free to ask!
