Make it exist first, you can make it good later. Not in the notepad this time, but in the drawing app — with the same fluid, expressive strokes and fashionista-style color smudges.
Take the grain of real crayons, digitize it with care and get it a collection of 16 ultra authentic brushes. Tooled for children's illustrations, naive art, and beyond.

Tattoo linework as vectors. Inkcraft's 12 brushes rebuilt for Illustrator, where a sleeve design scales from wrist to full back without redrawing a line. Clean liners, confident shaders — every stroke stays editable, so the client's "can we make it 20% bigger?" costs you one drag, not one evening.

Knives out, it's linocut time. Instead of carving into wood, we've got plenty of linoleum and 12 tactile linocut brushes. Maybe it's not as satisfying as rolling ink over streaked surfaces and transferring the image — but the artistic impact goes far beyond old-school physical printmaking.

We thought it would be fun to have it all: the confident strokes, the buttery textures, the expressive mess of it all. So when we set out to create this brush set, we knew just another digital mimicry wouldn't do. It had to feel like oils: unruly, tactile, and capable of both chaos and control.

The 10 carefully designed brushes cover everything from liner pens and ballpoints to fountain pens, gel pens, and fiber-tip markers. Some mimic fading ink, creating the effect of a drying-out pen that needs to be scribbled back to life.
Others replicate the subtle ink spread that happens when liquid meets paper — those irregular, flawed edges that give hand-drawn art its human touch.
The office pen cup, vectorized. Ten Illustrator brushes covering liner pens, ballpoints, fountain pens, gel pens, and fiber-tip markers — including the fading, drying-out ballpoint you'd normally scribble back to life. Because they're true vector brushes, every doodle stays infinitely scalable and editable: swap a stroke's brush after the fact and watch the whole drawing change its pen.

Handcrafted Brushes Collections
Standard vector brushes may feel pretty stiff, demanding time and effort to make a basic path look like it wasn’t made by a robot. Our Illustrator brushes are the solution to that matter — they’re tuned to feel just like actual pens and oil on canvas. If you’re looking to stock up all at once, the bundles are the most efficient way to grab a full range of textures.
The licensing is "no-headache" style — straightforward and flexible. While these specific sets are built to take full advantage of Illustrator’s engine, we also offer multi-app brushes, so you have a kit that plays consistently across different software. There are also some free brushes in the shop so you can see how this tool fits your workflow. Everything comes with lifetime updates, so when Adobe changes things up, your tools won't break.

Having a specific tool for the job saves a lot of "fudging it" later; that’s why we made sure our collection is versatile. The shader brushes and hatching brushes do the heavy lifting and add depth and intensity. If you want an analog media look, the watercolor brushes, oil pastel and gouache brushes add a nice organic messiness that vectors usually lack. For the comic artists, there are liners, manga brushes, and the whole collection of everyday sketch brushes.


Make grunge texture brushes, but make them naïve and amateur in the best sense. The collection balances between urban mural painting, colourful slums & suburbs, and pastel scribbles that your art teacher would disapprove of.
