10 Best Free Brushes for Procreate

Where can you find downloadable brushes for Procreate free of charge? Googling “Procreate brushes free” will get you thousands of results with more brush options than you could use in a lifetime! It can be hard to narrow down which ones to download and figure out which websites to start with. I recommend beginning your search on Brushes for Procreate’s website. Here you will find hundreds of brushes and stamps created for Procreate. In this list, I try to narrow it down to my favorites from a wide variety of popular art styles and purposes.

1. Procreate Shale Brush - FREE Marmo S(Shale)-Brush for Procreate

The Shale brush is one of the best default Procreate brushes, at least according to many iPad artists. You'll love this free Marmo S-Brush for Procreate if you agree. The link above will take you to Pinterest, and you can navigate from there to the website, where you'll be asked to provide your website and preferred price (you can select 0) before you are taken to the download link.

2. Watercolor Brushes for Procreate

The popular AquaReal brush set costs $19, and since it includes colors, stamps, and brushes, it may very well be worth the purchase. If you are looking for a free version of AquaReal alternative, Watercolor Brushes for Procreate is a good option. I find these quite hard to work with, so if you are a beginner trying these out, don't be discouraged and try some of the others on this list.

4. Flowers Brush Set

While these aren’t the most realistic-looking flowers, I really enjoy this brush set because I tend to draw cartoons on Procreate. It can take some time to get used to using these as they aren’t your typical brushes/stamps, but once you get the hang of them, they are so much fun!
