This is probably a stpid question but where do i go to make textures? i use PS and say i want to add cracks to a wall or something, where do i go to make the cracks without paiting them in and how do I apply them. I see artwork here with the backgroud wall having cracks and holes are these done using textures or are they painted.

I make all my textures using channels. I create shapes using various default tools or filters then I warp them to exactly what I need using blurring, noise, levels, and other filters.

You can always use Painter's square chalk tool with some good papers.
