31 Procreate brushes built from real oil pastel textures I use in my own illustration work.
That buttery drag. The way pigment builds and blends without lifting. The rich, creamy texture that catches the tooth of the paper. These brushes capture how real oil pastels actually behave. Every texture comes from traditional oil pastels in my studio. And yes, no smudgy fingers.

What These Brushes Do
Blending & Gradients
Smooth color transitions without harsh edges. Good for backgrounds, soft shading, and anywhere you want colors to melt into each other.
Bold, Textured Strokes
Rough edges and visible texture. These bring energy and movement to your work when you want strokes that feel expressive and handmade.
Fine Details & Precision
Controlled strokes for smaller areas. When you need to get into tight spots without losing that oil pastel feel.
Layering & Building
Brushes that respond to repeated passes. Build up depth and saturation the way you would with real pastels, stroke by stroke.
Chalky & Matte Finishes
Softer, drier textures for a more subdued look. Good for vintage feels or atmospheric effects.
Scratchy & Imperfect Marks
Irregular, gritty strokes that mimic the unpredictable nature of traditional pastels dragging across textured paper.
Coverage & Fill
Broad strokes for laying in large areas quickly. Useful for backgrounds and base layers without losing texture.
Who This Is For
These brushes work for illustrators, editorial artists, or anyone who wants that rich, painterly oil pastel look in their digital work. Great for expressive illustrations, children's books, landscapes, or any project where you want bold color and visible texture.
What You Need
- Procreate app
- iPad (any size)
- Apple Pencil (recommended)
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.
The Fine Print
