NEW Brush Pack Suggestions! (Procreate)
🕑 Added 2020-05-07 17:57:03 +0000 UTCIt's been awhile since I've done one of these so what better time then RIGHT NOW!
Disclaimer: These brushes will not make you a better artist, but they are great tools to help you exceed if you so choose! They are in no way necessary! ;w;//
First off, I may have mentioned this one before but I love a good real life digital pencil brush pack. REAL PENCILS BY ericanthonyjThis Brush-Set includes 18 custom made, realistic, and natural-looking pencils for Procreate 5. Not only do these brushes look real and feel real, but the price is SO HARD TO BEAT. $12.99? Mama. https://gumroad.com/ericanthonyj?recommended_by=library#DHQfO
This pack comes with
- 2 Shaders / Blenders
- 2 Charcoal Sticks
- 1 Oil-based Colored Pencil
- 1 Mechanical Pencil (this one is actually my fave)
- 12 Realistic Graphite Pencils
- 1 Paper Texture
- FREE Stippling Set
If you're anything like me, a good paper texture is also a great asset when you're working digitally. Adding a texture over or behind a finished product is a great way to add depth to a 2D drawing that sometimes can be a struggle when working digitally. EricjAnthony also makes other packs, so if you like this one or want to check out others I think I've linked other ones in my past suggestions so check out his page!
Okay, onto the next.
This one I've definitely mentioned before but I need to scream about it again because I use it ALL THE TIME. Literally every single drawing I'm using this pack for inking, sketching, all of it. Specifically the clean sketch brush.
Jingsketch's brush pack: https://gumroad.com/jingsketch?recommended_by=search#dDVWl
You can buy just the sketch pack for 14.99 (a steal for the price and the brushes) but the full brushset of all his packs are 19.99. Any and all updates are free so that's pretty awesome and I can say this is probably my favorite and most used brush pack of all time. He runs discounts pretty often, so if you're not willing to pay the price, keep an eye out for that and it'll drop to 9.99 every so often! But HOLY MOLY this pack blows my mind every time. By far my most used.
There was a craze going around with this on twitter a couple months ago but I can't recommend this pack enough! It takes a little work to understand how to lay the brushes down, but honestly... GORGEOUS once you get it! THE GHIBLI BRUSH SET! https://www.artstation.com/marketplace/p/avRD/ghibli-inspired-brushes-for-photoshop-and-procreate
There's a little demo video (no words) that come with it and it helps a tremendous amount but honestly a little practice and this pack will change your life making backgrounds. Live out your ghibli dreams... soft and so much FUN.
And for my last suggestion, I only just bought this pack so I'm still playing around with it, but it's pricier than the last two at $27: https://visualtimmy.com/products/procreate-brushes-xl-bundle#tab-1
I really love that this pack has palettes, brushes, BUT most importantly: vector pens. I will admit I did not buy this pack for myself, I got it from work for working on procreate vectorizing artwork and I will say I'm pretty impressed so far! I like the feel of these brushes and I like the extras that come with it. I'm also a fan of the palettes since color picking is super tough for me, but I'll keep this one as a "I'll keep you all posted" and let you know what I think as I continue using it :3
Hope this helps guys! <3
