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.
