The Top Procreate Brushes For Every Type of Artist

Creating digital art is an exciting, limitless process, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges. Unlike traditional media and techniques, digital artists don’t necessarily have tools that provide physical feedback and intuitive flow. Real-world effects have to be recreated digitally, requiring fundamentally different processes that often don’t make use of your formal training.

Fortunately, today’s software brushes come in all shapes and sizes and can help reduce this experiential gap. Whether you're struggling to replicate the texture of traditional media, develop a distinctive style, or add depth and expression to your work, the right instruments can make all the difference—and Procreate’s brushes are leading the way! 

In Procreate, a carefully chosen toolkit can help you overcome technical obstacles, streamline your workflow, and bring your creative vision to life. So without further ado, here are some of our top Cubebrush picks that every digital artist should explore, no matter your style or specialty.

Premium Impasto Brush Pack

Impasto brushes in Procreate allow you to simulate the thick, tactile strokes of traditional oils, where paint stands off of the canvas and captures the light. This brush pack gives your digital pieces real dimension and tangibility, which is ideal for expressive portraits, abstract work, or gallery-style illustrations. 

With texture baked into each stroke, these 45 premium impasto brushes help break up overly smooth digital surfaces and bring an analog richness to your work—all without leaving the screen.

With this purchase, you’ll receive:

• 45 impasto-style Procreate brushes
• 6 canvas textures
• 5 Procreate projects
