Scary & Spooky Trees - Photoshop Brushes and Shapes
Creepy Trees for Your Halloween, Fantasy, Spooky, or Gothic Digital Artwork
Trees are such an important tool in setting the mood in a piece of art. Choosing the perfect tree for your digital artwork can be a daunting task, so I have chosen some of my favorite sets of photoshop brushes featuring spooky, creepy, ghostly, scary, or otherwise haunting trees. You will surely find something here for your digital art.
There are many great resources for photoshop brushes of trees, but make sure you always read the permissions on each brush set you choose to sample from, and be careful to follow their guidelines of use and crediting.

Cute & Creepy Trees

These are the cutest little spooky emo trees I ever saw. Gurly has outdone herself with these cute creepy tree brushes.
They could be used in make some great Halloween greeting cards, and in paper arts in general. They would be easy to cut out for scrapbooking.

Winter Trees (Photoshop Shapes - CSH)
by ~eiermann1952
This set of photoshop shapes is an amazing series of 18 winter trees - no leaves, and easily creepy.
These trees would be an ideal place for some crows or an owl to be perched.

Spooky Trees
by deathoflight
With just a tad bit of lingering foliage, these are 15 seriously spooky trees!
One of these trees would easily complete your haunted house picture. It certainly looks like the kind of tree a black cat might hang out around.
These trees seem to give off just a have just a hint of life ... in a they-might-come-to-life-and-attack-you kind of way.
Trees Beyond the Mist
by midnightstouch
A full moon over these fog covered trees would instantly make a great creepy night-time landscape.
These would be also amazing with witches flying or some dark birds in the sky - or bats.
One of the 9 brushes in this set could make a great backdrop for your next project.

These are very cool! Blessed.
These are all so totally awesome! I am going to have to break down and buy photoshop!
I love the trees beyond the mist, eerie. Great resources here thanks
These are awesome, much better than the ones than I can use with Paint Shop Pro X2. My new computer came with a version of Photoshop, so I'm slowly trying to learn the nuances of it vs. Paint Shop. There's a lot more out there for Photoshop, so it should make my design work a little easier. Thanks! I'll be back for this one.
This is so cool. I love photoshop, but am completely self taught. I had no idea you could download extra brushes. I am lensrolling this to my lens on How to Feather Photos with Photoshop CS4 .
Congratulations! You've been SquidBoo Blasted. Happy Halloween!
Oh, this is RIGHT up my alley. I LOVE taking pictures of spooky looking trees. I have captured a few good ones, I will have to set up something so you can see them. RIGHT lens! Btw.. I left you a message on my Haunted Cemetery Lens if you get a chance.
Excellent resource! Thanks!
A few of these I didn't have wonderful grabs thank you!!! great lens!!!!!!!
