Bardot Brush
Bardot Brush sells downloadable brushes and tools for Procreate users making illustrations, hand lettering, and other digital artwork. Its brush collections use handcrafted textures across fillers, flat brushes, liners, detail brushes, textures, and shaders. They are designed to evoke traditional media while using digital tools, and the maker says the brushes are optimized for Apple Pencil. Installation requires Procreate 5.1 or later on iPad; instructions are also provided for using brush files with Procreate Dreams on iPad.
