What Are Procreate Brushes - and what are the reasons to sell them?

Procreate brushes are specially designed instruments that are able to create different effects in Procreate. For instance, you can make the digital artwork look as if that you created it using watercolors. Special Procreate brushes can also simulate the effects of objects such as:

  • Outline brushes
  • Pencils
  • Oils
  • Fineliners

Anyone using Procreate is able to create brush brushes of their own. However, many artists buy their own brushes in order to avoid having to reinvent the wheel. If you've made a set of brushes that you want to and have noticed a gap in the market - then this could be a great opportunity for cashing in by selling your own Procreate brushes.

How do you sell your procreate artwork?

When you offer Procreate brushes, it's marketing the brushes to other digital artists. You may also decide to market your work to people who collect and like art. It could also mean:

  • Creating physical items like t-shirts water bottles, or hats with your art. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is through a print on demand business, but you won't earn a great amount of money per product that way.
  • Accepting commissions for unique pieces that are art-related, such as the painting of a pet, wedding photos or family members.
  • Earning money as an artist through Patreon and creating new art that's exclusively available to your Patrons.

  • Create a product with a .pdf file with the steps to submit the payment (e.g. the link for filling out a form).
  • Make a product that contains information about the commission process. Use custom check-out questions to collect details from buyers about what they'd like to purchase before they make their purchase.
