There are soooo many free and premium Procreate brushes to choose from that the choice is overwhelming. That’s on top of the whole range of native brushes which are great. And that’s before we even get onto the art of creating your own brushes- which is a whole hobby in itself!
So I thought I’d put together a showcase of the best free & premium Procreate brushes and bundles for 2022 to get you started.
❤️ p.s I’ve sourced these brushes directly from the artists themselves where possible so that any profit goes straight to them
