In their own words
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. Files are delivered by download, with links in the confirmation page, receipt email, and customer account purchase history. Buyers may use the brushes in personal or commercial work and sell finished work, but may not redistribute downloaded content, including edited brush files. Purchased products include free updates for life. A free plan is listed, with paid products from $10 one-time. Listed options include Basic Toolkit at $12, paid once and Master Bundle at $165, paid once.
Frankentoon Studio
Frankentoon Studio creates illustration tools for artists, including brush packs, graphics, educational material and design templates. Its Procreate catalog lists 15 kits and more than 700 brushes, and the studio also offers products for Affinity apps and Clip Studio Paint. A free Procreate Starter Pack includes 10 brushes. Listed purchases include Sketch Kit for Procreate at $12, paid once purchase and Dreadlines for Clip Studio Paint at $12, paid once purchase. Sketch Kit requires Procreate 5.3+ and Apple Pencil. The studio says its Procreate packs permit personal and commercial use, including client work and products. Brush files work on iPads that support Procreate, though newer iPads and more RAM are recommended for large canvases and complex brushes. Procreate brush files do not open directly in Adobe Photoshop, which uses.abr files. Product downloads begin immediately after purchase, and future updates are included at no extra cost. The studio says it has made these tools since 2016 and publishes tutorials and guides for Procreate and Affinity workflows.
