I’d also really recommend getting some brushes that allow you to add texture to your drawings. This is something I rarely use because it’s not my style, but if you like the really classic calligraphy style lettering, this one is really good for getting the really thin upstrokes and thicker downstrokes. This Rad & Happy set has a really good monoline brush, and also a classic lettering brush. When you get to the next screen, there’s a button that says ‘Import’ in the top right again, click that and then find your Dropbox folder, select the brush you want and Procreate will add it to your brush library ready for you to use!įirst up, a good monoline is a MUST, I know one comes with Procreate, and that one is pretty good, but if you can get a couple of others that behave differently, so maybe they go a bit bigger or smaller, or they are smoother you’ll always have what you need. Then open Procreate, click the brush tool so you get the list of the ones you already have, then click the plus in the top right. When you find a brush you want, it’ll open in Dropbox or in your iPad files, and you just want to click ‘save to my Dropbox’, I find that it’s useful to have a folder set up in Dropbox just for Procreate brushes so they don’t get lost and it’s easy to navigate to.

It’s very simple, you just need a Dropbox account and your iPad. To save you from that endless clicking marathon and the inevitable download of every free Procreate brush on the internet, only to use the same five (again, just me?!) I thought I’d do a roundup of my favourite free brushes, and the ones that you’ll actually use.īut first, you might be thinking, ‘Laura, I’ve only had Procreate for seconds, how do I add brushes to Procreate?’ Well, young Jedi, let me teach you.

Especially when all you want is to try and draw out your favourite Taylor Swift lyric in a slightly fancy way. If you’ve ever searched for Procreate tips, brushes, or anything like that, you’ll know you get thousands and thousands of tips, links and videos and it can all be a bit much.
