In their own words
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.
