I've drawn for as long as I can remember. Pencils, charcoal, crayons, paint. When I found Procreate in 2011, there was no going back. But the stock brushes never felt like my real tools, so I started building my own. A set of pencils first. I never looked back.

Then I noticed a problem. Brush packs kept selling me hundreds of brushes. I'd spend hours scrolling and test-driving them, and end up using the same five. Those were hours I wasn't drawing.

So I went the other way. Each pack has about a dozen brushes I've built, tested, cut, rebuilt and tested again, until every one earns its spot. Any of them could be your new favorite.

I still use them every day. When I find a way to make one better, you get the update free, for life.

And remember, it's not the brush, it's how you use it. Mine or the stock set, pick them up and learn them. If they're mine, I hope you love them as much as I love making them.
