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.
TsaoShin Full Brush Set
TsaoShin Full Brush Set is a downloadable collection of more than 100 digital painting brushes, described by its maker as the set used to create their artwork. The main pack is a Photoshop ABR file, and the listed compatible apps are Photoshop CC, Procreate, and Clip Studio Paint. The ABR pack can also be imported into Procreate and Clip Studio Paint, with instructions included. Transparent PNG files of the brush tips are included alongside the ABR file. The set costs nothing, and donations are appreciated but not required. There is no free trial. The listed platforms are iOS, macOS, and Windows, and delivery is by download. The maker points to YouTube tutorials about using the brushes and other digital painting methods, and invites visitors to Instagram and TikTok for demonstrations and process videos.
