April’s featured free brush is Copy Cat

April Featured Free Procreate Brush - Copy Cat

This month’s featured freebie is one of my most popular brushes, Copy Cat. It was one of the first brushes I made way back when I first started experimenting with brush creation in Procreate. Copy Cat is like Shady Lady, but with a cool texture that gives it a chalk or pencil feel. Download it for free here.

Check out some great letterers on Instagram who have used the brush below:

I tried Abbie’s destroyed photo tutorial and it’s great

Chances are, if you have an iPad and you use Procreate, you’ve watched at least one tutorial by Abbie from Uproot. Not only is she an insanely talented artist, but she’s also one of the most creative people in the iPad art game right now and she’s practically a scholar in Procreate. Her tutorials make everything so easy to understand and try out yourself, so I was pretty excited when I finally had time to try her destroyed look tutorial. I played around with the method for a couple of profile pic ideas last night while watching TV and this was the one I liked the most.

Give it a try for yourself with the tutorial below and see if you get as into it as I did.

March Featured Freebie: Blobby

You can download the Blobby brush free here.

I made the Blobby brush two years ago (almost down to the day) and loved it immediately. In fact, it was probably my first favorite brush. It’s pressure sensitive and it has a kind of globby texture that I wanted to use in everything…all the time…forever. I still use it a lot when I’m just doodling or sketching ideas. So naturally, when it came time for the March featured free Procreate brush, I knew just the one I wanted to share.

Check out some examples of the Blobby brush in action and download the brush file free here.

As always, I’d love to see what you create, so if you use the brush, tag @AlexisGentry on Instagram so I can check out your cool artwork.

February Featured Freebie: Painted Heart Brush

This month’s featured freebie is Painted Heart. It’s a stamp-style brush with an organic texture like it was painted with a paintbrush. It will make a scattering of hearts of different sizes, but you can also adjust the size with the slider and add individual hearts with a tap. It will work with the Apple Pencil or use it without a stylus and just tap with your finger. Download it free here. As always, I’d love to see what you create, so if you use the brush, tag @AlexisGentry on Instagram so I can check out your cool artwork.

New and Improved Hot Mess Brush Bundle

I spent my weekend tweaking and adjusting my Hot Mess lettering brush pack to take advantage of some new taper settings in the latest version of Procreate. But I didn’t stop there. I also created some brand new brush shapes and grains for these brushes to give them even cooler textures. You can download the 2019 version of the Hot Mess Procreate brush bundle on Etsy and Creative Market.
