Sketching is where art starts. A rough idea, a silhouette, a line you almost erased — it’s all essential. So we thought, why not make sketching a stand-alone way to express yourself, with every possible tool? Once again, we’ve teamed up with Olga Lysenkova to create a set of sketch brushes that do it all — in all styles, from raw pencil to watery paint stains.
“There was no way to go flashy. Not with sketchers. I wanted this set functional and multipurpose, just like sketching is for all kinds of creators. Fashion, lifestyle, travel, quick portraits, caricatures, cartoons — they all need a special approach. That’s what we went for.”
The toolbox instantly proves functional, focused, and versatile. It covers the groundwork of creative thinking: from fashion illustration to travel journals, character design, doodles, and storyboards. It's deliberately broad, yet tightly curated for sketch work.
The brushes are organized into five core tools: pens, markers, coal, pencils, and paper — each capturing how real-world sketching feels, across different genres and styles:
Pens
Deliver sharp, defined lines for inking, fashion outlines, and stylized portraits.
Markers
Lay down fluid, expressive strokes. Great for gesture drawing and quick color accents.
Coal brushes
Bring pressure-sensitive smudge and grit. Ideal for moodier sketches and exaggerated forms.
Pencils
Handle everything from confident figure drafts to loose character doodles, with options for softer or grainier finishes.
Paper texture brushes
Add a tactile layer underneath it all, grounding the sketch.
Sketch Brushes FAQ

Crayon brushes digitally replicate the bold, waxy strokes of real crayons. They capture uneven edges, grainy fills, layered texture, and vibrant colors — for the same tactile feel as dragging soft pigment across paper.

They shine in children’s book illustrations, playful character art, and contemporary naïve styles. Crayon brushes are also perfect for posters, stationery, apparel prints, and home décor.

The combination of pressure response, rough textures, and broken edges. A well-built crayon brush shifts naturally from light sketch lines to heavy fills, layers color with grit, and leaves the lively imperfections.
-
Absolutely. These brushes are designed for both playful experiments and serious design work. They’re ideal for book illustration, editorial graphics, branding assets, and packaging with a handcrafted or expressive edge.
