Fire brushes are very useful. As a designer, you’ll eventually come across a project where you’ll need to show that something is hot. This can be applicable to food, seasoning, weather, vehicles, and anything else that you can think of. Fire is extremely difficult to create from scratch. It is even harder to make it look realistic or convincing. Therefore, having good quality fire brushes will help you to make beautiful custom fire effects from scratch in Photoshop.

LIQUID

Liquid, or splash effects, have become very popular recently. One popular effect is to melt a solid structure, like a person’s leg into liquid. This sends a message that the person is very fluid. It can also mean that their movements are very fluid or that they are one with the elements. Combine these brushes with masks to create your own splash effects.
