UPDATE: This brush pack has been updated for 2019 to take advantage of new Procreate features and taper settings. Find out more here.

The Hot Mess brush pack contains 5 messy brushes that add a fun, rustic texture to your writing. Each brush is unique and some use custom brush shapes or grains. The name of the pack was inspired by Katya from RuPaul’s Drag Race in a song lyric where she described herself as a “scorching hot mess in a skintight dress.” As a huge Katya fan, I knew I wanted to make some brushes inspired by her, and the Hot Mess pack was a perfect fit. I’ve used these brushes a lot for the May #LetterRu2 Instagram lettering challenge. You can download the Hot Mess pack from Creative Market or Etsy.

View examples of the Hot Mess brushes below.

Reading challenge on tonight’s @rupaulsdragrace! It’s been #bestfriendrace so far, so I’m curious to see how this will go. #rpdr #dragrace

Working on some new textured #procreatebrushes and made this one that reminds me of the lipstick mirror message from #rupaulsdragrace. Still working on a title, but I think I’m going to put all these in a brush pack. #procreatebrush #procreatelettering #loveyourhairhopeyouwin

Today’s #letterru2 is for #sashavelour. I’m basically obsessed with her makeup, especially her eyebrows. . . #rupaulsdragraceseason9 #dragraceseason9 #rpdr9 #rupaulsdragrace #dragrace #rpdr #lettering #ipadlettering #ipadcalligraphy #procreatelettering (ps- I still don’t know what to call this brush, but as soon as I figure it out, I’ll upload it.)
