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.
GrutBrushes
GrutBrushes is a collection of digital art tools, including brushes and smart digital paper, for artists using supported creative apps. Its Photoshop brushes respond to hand movement and pressure, so strokes vary with the artist’s input. The Photoshop Complete set spans watercolor, ink, oil, impasto, natural media, pencil, charcoal, specialty, cross-hatching and mixer brushes. Procreate Brushes Unlimited lets users browse, search, preview and install brushes directly to an iPad, with 12 months of access to new brushes. An optional Photoshop plugin organizes presets into sets and supports drag-and-drop ordering, but it is incompatible with the latest Photoshop update that removed legacy plugins; ABR files remain usable in Photoshop CC’s brushes panel. The shop lists free products, including a sampler, and a free signup. One-time plans include Procreate Pencils at 7.00 USD and two sets at 20.00 USD each. The license permits commercial artwork, but not resale of downloaded files.
