Essential SKETCH – 100 BRUSHES (Traditional Brushes by Rory on a Rainbow) Use Pencil, Colored Pencil, Graphite, Charcoal, Pastel and Chalk in Procreate
Finally! My very first Brush Set!
I’ve actually been working with customized tools in my art for many years. I first started with Photoshop, scanning textures from my traditional artwork and integrating them into brushes. Since 2023, inspired by the new possibilities in Procreate, I set out on a mission to fully recreate my traditional art digitally.
Working in larger formats than A4 was always inconvenient for me in traditional art. Plus, having a cluttered workspace filled with countless art supplies often overwhelmed my ADHD brain. On top of that, whenever I wanted to draw outside, I had to carry far too many materials with me. Without proper lighting, like a lamp shining on the paper from the left to avoid casting shadows with my hand, drawing felt exhausting and uncomfortable.
With this first set, I’ve brought traditional art to my iPad, allowing me to draw anytime, anywhere, even while relaxing on the couch.
This Brush Set for Procreate features a total of 100 brushes and includes:
• 30 ESSENTIAL Brushes
Designed to create various pencil, colored pencil, graphite, and charcoal textures, ranging from medium to hard textures.
• 30 ROUGH Brushes
Perfect for creating a variety of pencil, graphite, charcoal, pastel, and chalk textures, ranging from medium to soft hardness levels.
• 30 SMUDGE Brushes
Ideal for shading, offering both soft and rough textures that enable realistic traditional-style shadows. These brushes are versatile, as most can also be used for sketching when set to smaller sizes.
• 10 PATTERNS Brushes
Need hatching or patterns to fill an area or make a background more dynamic? Maybe, like me, you’ve dealt with recurring wrist pain from hours of drawing and just can’t add hundreds of hand-drawn hatches today. These brushes are perfect for that! They offer various hatching options to add an extra touch to your sketches without extra strain.
Alongside the set of 100 brushes, I’ve also included a special extra, a traditional sketch paper texture as a PSD file, designed exactly the way I integrate textures into my own artwork. It’s also set to the same size I typically work with.
In this setup, the texture layer is placed at the bottom, and new layers are added above for drawing. I’ve marked one layer with “Your Art Goes Here” for easy placement. Additionally, I’ve duplicated the same texture layer and placed it on top in Multiply mode, so the grain naturally blends into your drawing.
If you’re working on a drawing that doesn’t require bright colors, you can also set your sketch layers to Multiply, allowing your artwork to seamlessly merge with the texture beneath it.
Since I personally benefited from educational versions as a student—where I could access full versions of software for only half the original price, I decided to offer affordable options here as well.
You can choose from the following versions:
ACADEMIC VERSION
This version includes the complete SKETCH HATCH Extended with 100 brushes for Procreate and a Sketch Paper Texture PSD.
The Academic Version includes the same features as the Commercial Version, but is designed for students, hobby artists, and anyone looking to practice and explore without financial pressure.
My goal is to make creative tools accessible to everyone, allowing artists of all budgets to experiment, learn, and create without limitations.
COMMERCIAL VERSION
This version includes the complete SKETCH HATCH Extended, featuring 100 brushes for Procreate and a Sketch Paper Texture PSD.
With the Commercial Version, you are free to use the artworks you create with these brushes and textures for any commercial purposes, whether for client projects, merchandise, or your own business endeavors. However, reselling or redistributing the brushes and textures themselves is strictly prohibited.
This ensures the integrity of the product while giving you the creative freedom to bring your artistic vision to life with confidence. Let your imagination run wild and make the most of your art, without limitations!
Caution: Very large files! Please make sure you have Wi-Fi for downloading.
To ensure the highest possible quality for your artwork, the brush set with the 100 brushes is 505,8 MB in size.
The PSD file with the texture is also 222,4 MB.
Why this Brush Set is perfect for you:
This set is ideal for artists who want to add a special touch to their creations. All brushes are highly versatile and have been carefully developed over the course of several months. Now that the set is finally ready for download, I’m excited to share it with you!
Looking ahead to 2025:
Starting in 2025, I will also share more of my own art and always include information about which brushes I used, along with video tutorials. I’m most active on Instagram (@roryonarainbow), where I’ll post updates in my stories and story highlights. You can also subscribe to my free "Rainbow Hub" there to stay updated on all news.
