25 Texture Overlay Assets - Matt Johns

25 Texture Overlay Assets:

over the past few months I have carefully created over 300 textures, from that I have curated the very best 25 high quality .PNG texture overlay assets, these texture overlays are digital art assets that emulate traditional qualities, ranging from; ink, halftone, watercolour, noise, pencil and more.

my texture overlays can be imported into your preferred digital art software, such as: Procreate, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Blender, Krita, Clip Studio Paint and so on.

Import these texture overlays / drag and drop them into your digital canvas - from there, it’s up to you to adjust and play.

What’s included?:

x25 texture overlay assets

• these 25 texture overlay assets emulate traditional qualities like; ink, halftone, watercolour, noise, pencil and more.

• can be used simply or complexly - overlay a flat illustration to add in subtle texture prior to printing/posting or use different textures clipped to specific layers for contrast.

• compile them into animated .gif files(like in the product gallery) and overlay them over video clips for a distressed grit and grunge look!!

• commercial license - once you have purchased these texture overlay assets, you are free to use these textures for your own professional work/integration - so this product is a one-time purchase.

each .PNG texture overlay asset is 3508px by 2480px - large enough for comfortable manipulation in your preferred digital art software. (converting these texture overlays to smart objects in Photoshop will allow you to scale them without repeatedly destroying the resolution).

these custom texture overlay files come compressed in an organised folder, all files are formatted to black and white, use them as clipping masks on fill layers or linework, play with the layer filter types and opacity (they're fun to play with and adjust, my preference is the soft light blending mode at 60% opacity!!) you can erase parts of them using brushes like my free Messy Brush pack to better curate where you want texture to be in your piece, generally are very intuitive to work with!!

Backstory:

working as a concept artist in video games, I found creating textural assets has allowed me to quickly add textural quality and detail without having to physically paint these textures - this has allowed me to ideate faster + build more visually interesting character and environments.

using texture aids in elevating my work, it adds context to my designs - combining them helps create contrast and generally helps to ground my characters in more believable worlds.

editing, adjusting and combining these textures blending mode, clipping masks, adjustment masks, filter gallery effects and layer effects results in endless possibilities - you can emulate an unlimited amount of textural effects and qualities that will elevate your digital illustrations, drawings, paintings, animations and graphic designs.
