The Atomic Grain & The Old Marker
The Atomic Grain brush is my go-to brush to add texture to my letters with infinite ease. I use this brush to build up shadows and highlights and give dimension to my letters. The result is a beautiful and soft shading for even the smallest details.
The Old Marker brush is like that favorite marker you always have in your pencil case. It’s one of my favorite brushes for lettering. I use it to take my notes and sketch down my initial ideas. It’s silky smooth but with depth and noise. Your perfect companion for all your Procreate creations!

Paint Roller & Frayed Brush
The Paint Roller is a brush with rough, paint texture. It’s great when you need to spread color and texture quickly but in a way that looks pleasing and natural.
The Frayed Brush is a streaky brush with a worn brush paint texture. Enjoy the natural look and feel of a well-loved paintbrush while you work. Perfect for rustic and vintage styles.

Shoutbam's Crazy Inker & The Soaked Gouache
Both Shoutbam brushes will deliver a unique inking experience on Procreate. These are dual brushes, meaning you'll get more realistic and unexpected results every time you use them.
The Crazy Inker will deliver a nice texture with low pressure, but it keeps adding ink as you keep adding more pressure. You won’t even have to lift your stylus from the screen!
The Soaked Gouache is perfect for giving realistic gouache shading to your pieces. Both shapes and grains will give you excellent rough finishes.

The Calligraphy Pencil
The Calligraphy Pencil has the perfect grit for sketching while serving the contrast for calligraphy-inspired type. This brush features a pressure-sensitive taper effect, so you can get both thick and thin stroke weights without ever changing your brush selection.

Scratchy Tooth & Old Peculiar
The Scratchy Tooth and Old Peculiar brushes are a pair designed to create a slightly wonky, playful, and fun experience. Both brushes are great for organic illustrations and lettering, and each is designed to complement the other.
Scratchy Tooth is designed as a liner brush, while Old Peculiar is a shader. Both are full of texture and feature a variety of flexible settings for fast, fun, and quirky art.
