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.
Uproot Brushes
Uproot Brushes sells digital brush sets for creating artwork in Procreate on iPad and iPhone. After purchase, customers receive an email link to ZIP files, then unzip them in the iPad Files app and tap a .brushset file to install. The Essential Mid Mod Master Pack works with Procreate for iPad and Procreate Pocket for iPhone, includes 13 brushes, and is listed at 8.00 USD once, with a 20.00 USD regular price. Everything Watercolour includes brushes for painting, lettering, smudging, splatters, and paper textures, plus a ready-to-use Procreate watercolour canvas. The license permits personal and commercial work, including selling products made with the brushes. It is for individual use: brushes may not be sold, shared, copied, or redistributed, including edited versions. The site provides FAQs for purchase and installation issues and links to video tutorials covering Risograph effects, outline brushes, and Procreate texture.
