The ultimate photoshop resource list part 2: patterns + textures
This is part 2 of “The Ultimate Photoshop Resource List” that I posted last week. In case you missed it you can read part 1 on Brushes here. If your interested in creating your own patterns in Photoshop I have compiled a couple resources that have great tutorials on them:
Tutorials & Resources
Creating patterns in photoshop written by Veerle Pieters
Tileable patterns in Photoshop via OverCaffeinated
Creating Striped Backgrounds via designmeltdown
Below I have compiled more than 60 resources where you can download patterns and textures. Be sure to check on individual licensing as a lot of these are free for personal use only.
Also look out for next week’s part 3 of The Ulitmate Photoshop Resource List. If your new here or haven’t already done so, be sure to grab the RSS Feed for my blog.

This is a great extensive list you’ve got here. I didn’t know all of them. I’ve just started my own design blog with PS brushes, AI patterns, Textures and lots of inspiration and it is always great to see what others have already done. Thanks for sharing!
Clem, thanks for adding the link, those are some nice textures!
Ferdinand, checked out your blog, love the design, keep up the great work! Will be adding your rss feed to my daily lineup.
