AquaBrush
Watercolor & Ink Brushes for Procreate
AquaBrush brings Procreate watercolor brushes and liquid ink tools into one collection for textured digital illustration. Build soft washes, draw crisp lines and add the feel of paper to portraits, character art, comics or lettering.
Move from a loose sketch to painted color, then choose your finish with ink, stamps and paper textures. The included color palettes give you a place to start.
What's included in AquaBrush?
You get three Procreate brush sets: Drawing, Stamps and Paper, plus 22 color palettes with 537 swatches.
The download contains 3 .brushset files and 22 .swatches files. Paper textures are supplied as brushes. The Paper Color Palette is included in the palette total.
What can I create with AquaBrush?
Use AquaBrush for watercolor portraits, character illustration, editorial art, comics, lettering and concept sketches. Combine soft washes with ink outlines, or keep the marks loose and let the paper texture show through.
The painting brushes also include gouache-style and acrylic-style textures when you want a heavier painted finish. Choose a few tools that suit your drawing and combine them as you work. A two-headed duck belongs here too.
How do the different brushes work together?
The Drawing set has 201 tools in nine groups, so you can choose by the job you want a brush to do:
- Sketch and define: 16 sketch brushes and 18 liquid ink brushes for loose lines and sharper details.
- Build color: 66 watercolor brushes, 35 painting brushes and 11 fillers for washes, painted marks and broader areas.
- Shape the finish: 17 washes, 20 texture brushes, 11 blenders and 7 erasers for layered color, surface texture and selected adjustments.
The separate Stamps set adds drops, splatters and stains. Use a small accent near your linework or build a more textured background.
Are color palettes included?
Yes. AquaBrush includes 22 Procreate color palettes with 537 swatches, covering warm colors, botanical greens, blues, rose and violet tones, and neutrals. The Paper Color Palette is part of those 22 palettes.
Import the .swatches files into Procreate and choose colors from the Palettes panel. Here is a selection of colors from six included palettes.
What do I need, and how do I install the files?
You need Procreate on an iPad. The app and hardware are not included. AquaBrush is a digital download; no physical product is shipped.
- Download your purchase from My Collection.
- Open Files on your iPad and extract the ZIP download if needed.
- Tap each .brushset file to import the Drawing, Stamps and Paper sets into Procreate.
- Open the .swatches files in Procreate to add the color palettes.
Our Procreate installation guide walks you through importing brushes. If a file will not open, contact support with your device, app version and the file name.
Can I use AquaBrush for commercial work?
Yes, with the Commercial License. It covers one purchaser creating finished artwork for clients, commissions and products for sale. The original tools must not be extractable from the finished work.
Choose the Personal License for personal, non-commercial projects. Neither license allows you to share, resell or redistribute the brushes, textures or source files. Each additional user needs their own license.
Read the full license terms before choosing. Contact us if your intended use falls outside them.
What if AquaBrush is not right for me?
Try the tools in your own workflow. If they are not a fit, contact support with your order details within 7 calendar days of purchase to request a refund. Downloading or trying the files does not exclude you.
Our voluntary refund review through day 14 and your statutory consumer rights still apply. See the 7-day guarantee conditions for the full details.
