How do I sell Procreate brushes?

Updated

Sell the set, not single brushes

To sell Procreate brushes, export a set you built yourself as a brushset file, show large samples of real strokes and finished artwork, and include short install instructions. Only brushes made from your own source textures and settings are yours to sell. Deliver it through a store that handles downloads automatically, and state clearly whether buyers may use the brushes in work they sell.

A single brush is hard to price. A coherent set with a name is a product.

Previews are the product

Buyers cannot try a brush before they buy it, so the preview has to do the work. Show each brush as a bare stroke and inside a finished piece, using brushes you built rather than adjusted copies of somebody else’s.

Use the same subject across the set so the differences between brushes are obvious at a glance.

Set the licence plainly

Illustrators want to know whether artwork made with your brushes can be sold, and whether it can be used for client work.

Write the answer in plain words on the product page. Do not make buyers open a document to find out.

Where the buyers are

Most sales come from your own artwork. Illustrators see a texture they want and follow it back to the shop.

A marketplace adds browsers. A free sample brush is the cheapest advert for the paid set.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Can you sell Procreate brushes?
Yes, if you built them. Brushes made from your own source textures and settings are yours to sell. Procreate’s bundled default brushes, and another maker’s paid set, are not yours to resell even after tweaking them, and those listings get taken down.
How can I make money from Procreate?
Selling brush sets, textures, palettes, stamps and timelapse tutorials. Assets other artists use sell repeatedly, while commissions do not.
How many brushes should be in a set?
Enough that the set has an identity and the brushes clearly differ. A themed dozen sells better than fifty near-identical variations.
Can buyers use my brushes in work they sell?
Only if your licence says so. Most sellers allow it and say so on the page, because it is the question that decides the sale.
Where is the best place to sell Procreate brushes?
Your own storefront if people follow your art, plus a marketplace for browsers. Sales usually come from artwork you have posted.
Do I need to include install instructions?
Yes, even though installing is simple. A short note removes the most common support message and the refund that follows it.
