yea im agreed but i think sometimes it might help just to muck around with brushes just to get the feel of photoshop back if u get me. I mean its all well and good if u can open photoshop everyday and keep up to date but i find sometimes mayb just using some of my old brushes that i made helps me to sort of "thought shower" (lol). I think wen u use other peoples brushes it takes away the creativity to an extent but i wud say its good for people to start with because they can see what they can acheive wen they learn to create their own.
