A handful of great brushes beats a hundred you'll never use.

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 still end up using the same five. That was time I wasn't drawing.

So I went the other way. I build several, then cut the ones that don't pull their weight. What's left is a pack where any brush 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.
