One of my goals this year is to provide more free stuff to people who visit this blog. I thought I’d start by highlighting some of my favorite free brushes to make them easier to find. This month’s featured freebie is my Scripty Flourish brush. You can download it here. If you use it, I’d love to see your awesome work, so tag @AlexisGentry on Instagram.
I just released a new bundle that’s perfect for Procreate lettering beginners. This one includes 12 brushes with different textures, pressure settings, brush shapes and grains. There’s enough variety to create cool, unique lettering projects and to practice your hand-lettering skills.
Check out the brushes below.
And pick up the pack on Etsy and Creative Market.

I just released two brand new Procreate lettering brushes. You can buy them from Etsy or Creative Market.
The first is called Static Shock and it has a cool brush shape that gives it a choppy texture.
The second is called Broken Brush and it includes a unique shape and grain to make it resemble a broken old paint brush.
If you use them, tag @AlexisGentry on Instagram so I can check out your cool creations!
If you’ve followed me on Instagram for any period of time, you know that I really don’t like sketching.
I like diving headfirst into a project and letting the undo button be my sketch. But recently, I’ve been trying to train myself to sketch out my ideas to re-think layouts, lettering styles and sometimes colors. One project whwere I actually attempted to sketch first was this Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure quote, and I was thrilled with the way it turned out.
Maybe there’s something to this sketching thing after all!
So, with that in mind, I started working on a pack of brushes that made sketching more fun. I wanted pencils, ball-point pens, and even the look of a dried-out brush marker—which was modeled after one of my very own frayed and drying brush markers. That turned into this pack of 5 lettering brushes and a bonus texture called the Sketchy Brush Pack. You can get it now on Etsy and Creative Market.

Here is what comes in this brush bundle:
Side note: One of my favorite (and most time-consuming) pieces of all time was created entirely with the Pencil Pusher brush in this pack.
I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos about ’90s nostalgia and got inspired to make this brand new Procreate pattern brush. It reminded me of something you’d see on a wall at the old Nickelodeon Studios in Universal Studios on a summer break from school back in the day when every kid wanted a big orange couch, when getting covered in green slime was a badge of honor, and when the biggest drama in your life was deciding which Scholastic books to order.
You can grab the brush for free here.
