Hi, I'm new on this forum. I'm not english so I apologize if I make some mistakes.

While working on a website (I'm not used to do the website design) I searched for sand texture and didnt found any that fitted for my project. So I tried to make it using free brushes and it didnt worked. After 2 hours now of trying everything i could, I decides to ask to peoples who are more used to do websites if they know some textuers or brushes that can fit.

 

I'll try to explain you here what is the kind of sand i would like to have :

A light ochre sand quite smooth but a bit granular with some tiny imperfections like specks of sand of another color.

 

Thank you.

 

EDIT : To be more precise about the texture I would like to obtain :

The color I am seeking is beetween those two images.

About the textuer, I would like a smoothier (dont know if this adjective do exist) background with rarest imperfection than those images.

Personally I would take already existing sand images and blend them together using a soft edge brush in Photoshop, there are plenty of already existing sand images around.

I dont get how to blend them together with a brush, you mean with a huge brush (of texture?) erase a part of each image so they blend each other into one? Then how to chose my images : One for the background with nearly no texture, a granular sand and one with huge imperfections?

But then how do I melt them (for the 2 first ones i can see but for the 3rd one with the imperfection, shall I use a "darken" melting option ?).

 

Thanks for being that fast.

Take your images, put a mask on the top one and then use a soft brush to blend them together, if your mask is black use a white brush if your mask is white use a black brush, resize the brush as you need to, to get the effect you want.
