This week's free download (delivered to the inbox of TheVectorLab Newsletter Subscribers) is a collection of Cross-Hatch Brushes for Photoshop.

Illustrators use Cross-Hatching as a technique to create shading with hand-drawn lines.

You can use these Photoshop brushes to give your illustrations a similar effect in a fraction of the time. These are also perfect for adding texture to your designs and backgrounds.

Once you download the file, just double-click on the .abr file to automatically load the brushes into Photoshop.
