Introducing the Sketchy Brush Pack

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.

Free brush inspired by old school Nick

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.
