Real sketchbook pages don't stay in one medium. A pencil underdrawing, a marker for the darks, a crayon over the top, some gouache where it needs weight. This set is one brush from each of my media so you can work that way in Procreate without buying the full set of each. Eight brushes, eight media, all built from real supplies in my studio. Instant download.
What's in the Set (8 Brushes)
Drawing and sketching
- Colored Pencils. Textured, grainy strokes that layer and build like real colored pencils.
- Artist Crayon. Waxy, textured marks with visible grain.
Linework
- Zigzag Liner. A dynamic, textured line with slight irregularity. Character in your outlines.
- Smooth Liner. Clean, precise strokes for controlled linework.
Color and fill
- Oil Pastel. Buttery, blendable strokes. Rich color that layers smoothly.
- Scratchy Marker. Rough, dry marker texture. For gritty, textured fills.
- Juicy Marker. Bold, saturated strokes. Smooth and vibrant for solid color.
Paint
- Gouache. Soft, opaque, painterly strokes. That matte gouache finish.
Each medium here has a full set in the store: Pencil Work colored pencils, Artist Grade Crayon, Fine Liners, Oil Pastel, Artist Markers, and Acrylic Gouache.

Extended removes the unit cap, for large production runs, fabric collections, or licensing your art to manufacturers. Started with Personal? You can upgrade anytime by paying the difference. Full terms are in the FAQ.
Questions People Ask
Is this the same as the free starter pack?
No. The free pack is liners, textures, and decorative brushes for beginners. This set is one natural-media brush from each medium, so it's the sampler, and the starter pack is the primer.
If I buy a full set later, will I get more of the same medium?
Yes. Each brush here represents its medium; the full sets go much deeper. If you find a medium you love, that's the next step.
Can I use these brushes in work I sell?
Yes, with the Commercial or Extended license, chosen at checkout. Personal covers your own projects and portfolio.
Do I need an Apple Pencil Pro?
No. Every brush works with any Apple Pencil. Apple Pencil Pro adds barrel roll on the sets that support it.
What if the file won't import?
Email me with your order number. Digital sales are final, but a file that doesn't work is on me, and I'll get you a working one.
