How the Brushes Work

Finely Granulated

Subtle, grainy texture for delicate details and refined finishes. Good for adding fine texture without overwhelming the piece.

Toothy Paper

Rough paper texture built into the stroke. Creates a textured base that works well for layering.

Sharpened

Sharp, precise lines for outlining and fine details. Good for defining edges within softer pastel work.

Slightly Transparent

Semi-transparent application for layering and building up soft, blended colors gradually.

Soft Stick

Smooth, buttery strokes for broad coverage. Good for filling large areas with vibrant color.

Sandy

Gritty, sandpaper-like texture. Adds tactile quality and visual interest to strokes.

Canvas Texture

Mimics painting on canvas. Adds depth and richness that feels like traditional media.

Smudge Brushes

Cotton Swab Smudge

Soft blending for seamless color transitions. Good for creating smooth gradients.

Bristle Brush Smudge

Textured blending that keeps some stroke marks visible. Good for expressive, dynamic blending.

Who This Is For

Illustrators who want soft, blendable pastel effects without the mess. Good for expressive portraits, landscapes, still life, or any project where you want rich color that blends smoothly. The combination of textured drawing brushes and smudge tools gives you a complete workflow for pastel-style work.

Why These Are Different

I made these because I wanted the blending quality of water-soluble pastels in digital form. Regular pastel brushes can feel too dry or too hard-edged. These give you that creamy, blendable quality where colors melt into each other while still keeping interesting texture.
