What Are Procreate Brushes - and why should they be sold?

Procreate brushes are special tools that can be used to produce different effects using Procreate. This includes making your digital art look like you've created it with watercolors. These brushes may also simulate the effects of objects like:

  • Outline brushes
  • Pencils
  • Oils
  • Fineliners

Anyone with Procreate can create your own brushes. Many artists purchase their own brushes in order to save time reinventing the wheel. If you've developed a collection of brushes to your personal and have noticed an opportunity on the market, then it could be the perfect opportunity for cashing in by selling your own Procreate brushes.

Why Sell Your Procreate Art?

When you offer Procreate brushes, you're selling your digital art to others. But you may also want to offer your art to those who collect and like artwork. This could be:

  • Making physical objects like t-shirts glasses, or bottles of water featuring your work. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is by using a print-on demand business, but you won't make a lot of profit for each item you sell.
  • Accepting commissions for unique pieces of artwork - like the painting of a pet, wedding photos or a family photo.
  • Making money as an artist through Patreon, producing regular fresh art exclusively for your Patrons.

How to Make Your Own Procreate Brushes

  2. Set the parameters of your new brush. These include the stroke path, the taper, shape, grain, and much more. They all have options you can fine-tune like the stroke path feature can be set to define the Spacing, StreamLine, Jitter, and Fall Off to your brush.
