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.

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.
You can grab the brush for free here.
My 3D lettering process
Just created a brand new video to show you how I quickly create 3D lettering on my iPad Pro with Procreate. This process was inspired by two amazingly talented lady letterers, Lauren Hom and Lisa Long, who you should definitely follow for lettering tips and inspiration.
Trying out new styles
I love all kinds of lettering, from super elegant scripts to blocky letters. I’m slowly trying to learn new ways of creating letters so I can try out different styles. After watching a recent tutorial by the ultra-talented Lauren Hom on GoodType‘s Instagram, I got totally obsessed with her 3D style.
Here are just a few of the pieces I’ve made as I practiced.
