Matts Messy Brush Pack for Procreate

Matts Messy Brush Pack:

Over the years I've quietly been making my own tools and assets to enrich my creative workflow - I've started to refine some of the brushes I've made, some initially made in photoshop then imported to procreate and further developed to emulate some natural grit that physical mediums have.

In this Messy Brush Pack for Procreate I focus on ink and pencil medium emulation, in the hopes of allowing me to generate some rough sketches for characters and render them quickly - this was one of my goals when I set out to curate this set of Messy brushes.

The other goal I had in my peripheries was to make these brushes have some functional versatility - I've been able to use different brushes as my starting point when drawing/painting digitally - I hope that others can find their own way to utilize these tools and assets that is playful and fun.

What's Included?

x4 of Matts Messy Brushes:

• Messy Inky Outline – a light and loose ink brush that can be used for linework, it emulates the build up of ink depending on the pen tilt angle.
• Messy Ink Liner – designed to emulate a dry ink texture with grit, feels like your trusty ink pen is almost out of ink.
• Messy Inker – great for blocking out shapes and forms, is slightly translucent - can be used as a quick & dirty fill brush.
• Messy Pencil – emulates a soft pencil quality that builds up, you use the Inky Outline brush as an eraser to tidy up the rough edges after rendering to your hearts content.

x12 Texture Asset Files:

• Texture Assets – a selection of 12 custom texture files, they are all in Grayscale, use them as clipping masks on fill layers or linework, play with the layer filter types and opacity (they're great fun the adjust, my favorite preference is the soft light layer filter at 60% opacity!!) you can erase parts of them using the brushes in this Messy Brush pack to better curate where you want texture to be in your piece, generally are very intuitive to work with!!

Visual Demonstration:

If you use these brushes in your work, please feel free to tag me or message me directly on social media - I would love to see what you create with these messy little tools !! :'')

Notes:

This Messy Brush Pack is listed as free/pay what you want - it's important to me that creative tools and resources are financially accessible to those who want to explore and play but can't feasibly do so - if you want to test the brushes out, you can always pay later (but it is not mandatory) if you do want to support my practice I really appreciate it!!

I am currently hard at work developing + revising what will be a larger brush pack for Procreate - currently at 60+ brushes in counting - custom brush stamp shapes, grains etc. This future brush pack will be appropriately priced and be released alongside a condensed version of the pack, so customers who are low-income can still partake and play with some fun brushes.

Thank you for your support!!
