Procreate is the most powerful digital illustration app available. It’s so intuitive to use, and the effects it can achieve are outstanding. From doodles, to repeating patterns, animated gifs, full illustrations and everything in between it and is loved by creatives pros and aspiring artists everywhere.
Procreate comes with a whole range of native brushes which are great, with the options to buy additional brushes and create your own – which is a whole hobby in itself!
There are sooooo many awesome Procreate brushes available out there, that the choices can be overwhelming. So I thought I’d put together a showcase of the best free & premium Procreate brushes and bundles for 2022 to get you started.
β€οΈ p.s I’ve sourced these brushes directly from the artists themselves where possible so that any profit goes straight to them
