These are my primary inking brushes I use in Procreate. There are only two and they are modified versions of Procreate’ tech pen.

Here is what I changed and why:
- The source (or image the brush uses) is a harder edged circle. The tech pen had a slightly softer edge which looked blurry at larger sizes.
- It’s also a larger/wider brush. I like a lot of variation in line weight. When Inking I like to set my size and not tweak it much. This can take some getting used to and it might feel like it’s blowing out to fast as you apply pressure, that’s the way I like it.
- I changed the streamlining. Streamlining smooths your strokes and makes them less jittery. The Wiggly has steamlining turned off, this is good for detail work, hatching or quick lines. The Fat brush has streamlining cranked up, it’s great for outlines and slower strokes.

What about those Fancy Textures?
But when it comes to the more nuanced textures I’m always looking for interesting brush packs. My buddy Tom at Design Cuts agreed to package up some of my favorites into one pack that you can grab now for 50% off the regular price.
Here are some of the cool things I like to do with these brushes:
Add depth to flat colors
Give your art a more organic natural feel
Explore different styles
