Free Procreate Brushes: What's on the Free Page
A tour of every brush and what it's good for
The free brushes page has been quietly growing, and if you have not visited in a while there is a good chance something new is waiting. Here is what lives there right now and what each brush is good for. Everything on the page is free for personal use (not for commercial resale), and new brushes join the top of the page as I make them.
For festive makes
- Candy Cane, Baubles, Tinsel and Snowflake: card fronts, gift tags and December lettering pieces. The stamp brushes drop a finished motif in one tap.
- Snow Brush: a soft scatter for backgrounds; build it up in light layers rather than one heavy pass.
- Wreath, Garland and Bow Garland: frames and borders. A wreath around a single word is the fastest finished-looking piece I know.
For everyday line work
- Outliner: clean, confident outlines for lettering and simple illustration.
- Triple Monoline: three parallel lines in one stroke, lovely for borders, ribbons of text and decorative underlines.
- Ribbon Brush and Ribbon Brush 2: flowing banner shapes to letter on top of.
- Chain and Leafy: repeating link and leaf trails that follow your stroke, handy for borders and pattern motifs.
Getting them onto your iPad
Each brush downloads as its own file: tap it once and Procreate installs it. If nothing happens, or your download arrives as a zip, the whole routine (and every fix I know) is in How to Install Procreate Brushes on Your iPad.
Where to go from here
If you find yourself enjoying the line work, the Multi Line Brush Set takes the Triple Monoline idea much further, and the Glitter Brush Set adds the sparkle. And if Procreate itself still feels new, my beginner course Procreate Made Simple starts from the very first tap.
