9 Procreate brushes built from real oil pastel textures I use in my own illustration work.
That buttery drag. The way color shifts inside a single stroke. The buildup when you layer. These brushes capture how real oil pastels actually behave. Every texture comes from traditional oil pastels in my studio. Pressure sensitive, but not too sensitive, so you have control without fighting the tool.

Why These Are Different
I'm a working illustrator. I use these brushes in my own client projects and personal work. They're not made from generic procedural textures; every brush starts with real art supplies from my studio. That's what gives them their feel.
When the tools are right, you stop thinking about the technology and just draw.
