An Illustrator’s Secret Weapon If you’re a cartoonist, comic book artist, or illustrator these brushes are your new secret weapon. Retro illustrators use to “season” their pens to get this effect. Their exact methods were a closely guarded secret. But we’ve cracked the code and converted these “seasoned” pens into runny inkers that will make your friends beg to know how you got the effect. How Are Broken Ink Pens Made? Runny pens are the result of a variety of culprits including ink drying and gumming up the tip, air pressure, or a misaligned feed and nib setting. Whatever the reason, a runny inker can create excellent-looking illustrations filled with quirky characters and surprises. The problem is it’s hard to make a pen behave this way. That’s why we made the Broken Inkers Brush Set for Procreate. These Procreate brushes make it easy to capture the dribbles, gloops, blotches, and other textures an old ink pen can create. Here Are the Pens You’re Getting These inking brushes for Procreate give you a wide range of effects in eight professionally made brushes including Beaded Inker: Create a line of beaded ink drops that look so natural you can practically smell the carbon and solvent used to make the ink. Drizzle Inker: Get a fine line of drizzly black India ink that is perfect for more detailed line work. Blotchy Inker: Watch thick blobs of ink make a controlled mess with this classic inker. Gloopy Inker: A thick toothy line of black ink that responds accordingly to pressure. Made for exaggerated tapering. Lolly’s Skipping Ink: Why’s it called Lolly’s Skipping Ink? I can’t remember anymore (blame it on the ink fumes). This inker is complete chaos. Old Faithful Inker: Add just a touch of dribble to your work with the Old Faithful Inker. Inspired by the illustration work of Shel Silverstein. Chumpy Inker: Old Faithful’s trouble-making older brother. This pen gives you plenty of control but has a rebellious streak. Jiggly Inker: What a friggin’ mess! The Jiggly Inker is like a flash flood of dark ink rolling across the page. Use it to create gigantic blobs of black or crude cartoons and lettering. If you’re looking for runny inking brushes for Procreate this pack is for you. Just look at the preview images to see all the possibilities this diverse set of Procreate brushes offers. Grab ’em now and capture the look of quirky illustrations, comics, cartoons and more.

9. Procreate Brushes Starter Kit 3060368

Introducing ‘’Procreate Brushes Starter Kit’’, a sample collection of 16 Procreate brushes from some of my sketching, drawing & painting sets! This kit is great for those who’d like to get a few useful brushes, but don’t necessarily want to purchase all full sets. It includes a nice selection of brushes inspired by traditional media tools such as pencils, ink, charcoal and paint. If you prefer, you can also buy the sets separately.What’s included:You will receive a ZIP containing a .brushset file that includes the 16 brushes, as well as a JPG swatches sheet for a quick preview of all the brushes.

To use these brushes, you will need:

The iPad app Procreate (the brushes will only work in Procreate)
An iPad + stylus: even though the brushes will work with other iPad models and third party styluses, I recommend the iPad Pro + Apple Pencil combo, as they’re currently the most precise & accurate tools for drawing in Procreate. The brushes were created & tested using an Apple Pencil so I cannot guarantee that they will behave as advertised with third party styluses.

11. Inkers Procreate Brush Set 3515192

Ink like you’ve never Inked before!A set of 12 inking brushes for Procreate that I use in my day-to-day illustration and lettering work.Many hours have been spent fine-tuning and tweaking these brushes to create a set of responsive, natural brushes. Hopefully, you enjoy using them as much as I do!There is a range of different styles from thick and solid to textured and broken.

The Brushes Below is a quick summary of each brush included in the set:

Smooth like Butter – Simple and solid, perfect for outlining.
Built to Last – Similar to the SLB brush above but has a different nib shape giving it a different feel when lining.
Bobble – Adds a bumpy, bobbliness to the more straightforward inkers above. Perfect if you want that bit of texture to your lines without too much texture.
Straggle – A little distortion and texture start to add a subtle but uneven finish to your lines.
Prickle – Gives you that ‘my Posca pen is running out’ feel when lining but works equally well when used to fill and color in.
Dry Sponge – A bit like drawing with a tiny sponge… It gives you a solid line with a little bit of texture and grittiness.
Drag – Takes the unbroken, grittiness to another level giving you a brush that works equally well as a liner or filler inner (I’m not sure that’s a phrase)
A New Stipple / The Stipple Strikes Back / Return of the Stipple – A collection of 3 gritty, broken inkers that give you a ton of texture either as a liner for less detailed stuff or to fill something in as a simple shader.
Draggy Dots / Dotty Dots – For when you want some textured dots in your work.
