My Procreate brushes for calligraphy, lettering, and illustration:
Pressure-sensitive Procreate brushes that emulate real pointed calligraphy nibs: fine point and monoline styles with smooth, scratchy, and bleed textures.
As a professional calligrapher, I understand how real ink-on-paper tools write and feel, so I worked hard to replicate those same delicate, pressure-sensitive qualities in each of these digital brushes. They offer the perfect balance of sensitivity and control: fine hairlines on the upstrokes, natural swelling on the downstrokes, and effortless stroke contrast for flourishing. No ink splatters or paper snags, just smooth flowing letters.
Each brush comes in a different texture so you can match the feel to your style:
Digital calligraphy brushes:
Fine Point Calligraphy Pen — Smooth Stroke
Fine Point Calligraphy Pen — Scratchy Nib
Fine Point Calligraphy Pen — Paper Bleed
Thick Nib Calligraphy Pen — Smooth Stroke

My complete watercolor calligraphy toolkit has 37 Procreate brushes that capture the soft, watery feel of real pigment on paper—for iPad lettering, washes, textures, and splatters.
This pack has everything you need to bring beautiful watercolor calligraphy to life on your iPad. I designed these brushes to take the guesswork out of digital watercolor lettering, whether you’re designing fancy flourished calligraphy or free-flowing brush scripts.
The 20 calligraphy brushes capture bleeding edges, translucency, and natural pigment variation. Each one comes in an ombré version for effortlessly adding beautiful gradients and color transitions.

40 of my calligraphy flourish animal illustrations as vectors, high-res PNGs, and Procreate brush stamps—ready to use in your own branding and artwork projects.
Each illustration is hand drawn by me, then meticulously vectorized to be smooth, detailed, and easy to recolor at any size. I’ve worked for years on a method to vectorize my calligraphy as authentically as possible—no sharp corners, wobbly lines, or extraneous points when you zoom in. They’re great to incorporate into logo designs, wedding invitations, letterpress stationery, monograms, framed prints, patterns, and gifts.
You also get the full set as Procreate brush stamps, so you can drop them right into your iPad artwork.

One of my all-time bestsellers, this kit has everything you need to create realistic illustrated mosaics (a.k.a. fauxsaics) on your iPad. If you’ve never tried drawing fauxsaics before, they’re incredibly meditative to make—like a coloring book you draw yourself.
You’ll get 72 Procreate pattern brushes, tile stamps, and textures that I perfected for creating convincing mosaic illustrations. The kit also includes 5 sample fauxsaic files you can open in Procreate to use for reference, practice, or inspiration, and 6 color palettes that install right into your Procreate swatch menu.
Plus, there’s a 20-minute video tutorial to get you started, with complete installation instructions, a walk-through of the brushes and sample files, and start-to-finish lessons for creating realistic mosaic designs. Scroll down to watch the video. ↓

I made this toolkit to solve some of the trickiest parts of calligraphy: achieving consistent slant, even baselines, and compositions that look balanced. The 65 stamp and pattern brushes handle the structure so you can focus on the lettering.
You get guideline stamps for a range of calligraphy styles—Copperplate, modern, wavy, and cursive—plus shape frames, radial grids, ribbon banners, and pre-made composition templates. The kit also comes with calligraphy practice sheets and flourish drills so you can warm up, learn new styles, or use them for inspiration in your own work.

This diverse set of brushes are for inky, brushy, painted hand lettering. You get a little bit of everything, from chunky, color-changing markers to fine-tip water pens.
All are brushes I use in my own work, refined over the years for the exact inky effects I wanted for different projects. You get watercolor brushes with beautiful translucency and bleed, felt-tip brushes that range from bone-dry to silky smooth, and two “magic paint” brushes that create impossibly smooth curves the slower you write. You’ll also get a smudge brush and an eraser brush for fine-tuning your letters.
