Procreate Charcoal Brushes: Realistic Sketching, Shading & Texture Set

Bring the raw, expressive character of real charcoal to your iPad with this premium Procreate Charcoal Brush Set. Designed to capture the tooth, grit, and tonal depth of traditional media, these brushes let you sketch boldly, shade smoothly, and build textured detail—all without smudges on your fingers or paper. If you love the look of vine and compressed charcoal, powdery blends, and dramatic contrasts, this toolkit is your new go-to for digital drawing.

Inside, you’ll find a curated range of charcoal styles: soft blending sticks for smooth transitions, rough grain brushes for toothy texture, vine charcoal for airy sketch lines, dense compressed charcoal for rich, dark fills, and dedicated smudge and erode tools for natural breaking, lifting, and softening. Every brush is tuned for pressure and tilt, so you can vary line weight, opacity, and shading just like with the real thing. Layer strokes to build atmospheric shadows, crosshatch to add structure, or keep edges loose and expressive—these brushes respond intuitively to your hand.

Perfect for illustrators, concept artists, portrait artists, and sketchbook enthusiasts, this set excels at gesture drawing, figure studies, moody portraits, environment thumbnails, and textured ink-charcoal hybrids. Whether you’re blocking in shapes, refining value, or finishing with delicate details, you’ll enjoy a traditional workflow with modern control. The result: authentic charcoal aesthetics, delivered with digital speed and flexibility.
