When you think about design assets for your work, scribble, doodle, sketching, and hand-drawn Photoshop brushes are probably not the first things that come to mind. Yet, despite that, they have their own place in the design world.
They’re usually created by scanning your drawings, resulting in some pretty creative and unusual brushes. While they might not be suited for a corporate or a traditional design project, there are plenty of projects where you could use them.
Consider, for a moment, any design project aimed at children. Using a doodle brush is a great way to make the final design piece appeal to them, whether a cover for a children’s book or an invitation to their friend’s birthday.
Another place where you can use scribble, doodle, sketch, or hand-drawn brushes is in any design project you create for a scrapbooking community. Lastly, don’t forget that some brands will want to create a friendly and approachable visual identity that can be enhanced using a quality scribble or doodle brush.
