In this blog, we’ll delve into our free procreate brush pack for iPad calligraphy, exploring their benefits, and how to install and use them effectively. So, grab your Apple Pencil, and let’s get started!
Our free brush isn’t just for calligraphy—it’s also perfect for hand lettering. Plus, it comes with additional free resources to help you immediately enhance your digital calligraphy skills.
The Magic of Procreate for Calligraphy
Procreate has become the go-to app for digital artists, illustrators, and calligraphers due to its intuitive interface, powerful features, and vast array of customizable brushes. The app’s flexibility allows artists to mimic traditional calligraphy tools such as pens, brushes, and markers, offering a limitless playground for creativity.
Why Pressure Sensitivity Matters?
Brushes without pressure sensitivity are inadequate for true calligraphy. This is why most free brushes don’t provide the desired results. Our brush is designed specifically to meet the needs of calligraphers.
