You can get all of Jason’s SketchBook Pro Brushes for a mere $12, but of course why not start with this free set he’s sharing with us on the SketchBook blog. The entire collection contains 286 separate brushes (!) and has different sets for drawing foliage, trees, rock, grasses, ground surfaces, clouds, and snow. He recently opened his own store on Creative Market, and this set is one of 15 sets in his Pro Brushes Collection. It’s truly amazing how many great brushes Jason put into this free set, but these 35 brushes are actually only part of the story.
Below is a beautifully illustrated chart showcasing each brush’s capability. This is Jason’s go-to personal toolset that contains a huge range of brushes, erasers, and effects.

Download Jason’s Art Brushes and install them in SketchBook for Mac or PC and use them in your own art, whether that’s creating concept art or just beautiful landscapes. Using his brushes is pretty much cheating when it comes to painting natural environments. If you know Jason’s work, you are keenly aware that he’s a master at creating landscapes and environmental textures in his concept art. Hundreds of them, each more interesting than the last. Then you can use the same steps as he shows in the tutorial to create a brush from that PNG that will be pretty close to the PS one.Our friend Jason Heeley has been busy building an incredible library of custom brushes. Save it as a PNG to preserve transparency, then open it on its own layer in SB (so it's above the background layer). If you find a PS brush set here on DA with thumbnails of each of the brushes (such as this one: you can use a freeware program like GIMP or Inkscape to delete the white, leaving the black brush pattern on a checkerboard transparent background.

If, however, you want to learn how to make your own SB brushes, here is a tutorial series: You can use this tutorial to adapt PS brushes for SB. A round brush, an inking brush, and an eraser are all I ever use now. You hear pros say it all the time, and I've learned it's true: most custom brushes are a crutch for noobs and tend to make your work look amateur, because the digital pattern will be too obvious (the strokes won't be organic enough), or the perspective of the pattern will be wrong, or the contrast or tone will be wrong because you're relying on a brush to do for you what you don't really know how to do by hand yourself, so you can't tell when it's not quite right. But I've stopped because I don't use custom brushes anymore. Not many people make them, unfortunately. Sketchbook will automatically extract the brushes into the program when you select the zipped folder. You shouldn't need to extract the brush files after downloading.
With the same paint engine as the renowned SketchBook Pro software, SketchBook Express delivers sophisticated brushes and pencils. Use it to digitally capture your ideas as napkin sketches or produce artwork on-the-go.

INSTRUCTIONS: Please let me know if you have any trouble downloading the zip file. SketchBook Express offers a dedicated set of sketching tools and delivers them through a streamlined and intuitive user interface. If you see a brush you recognize, keep in mind it won't behave exactly the same as in Photoshop because the programs have different brush dynamics.Įnjoy! And keep your eye out for more to come. Some are ones that I have pulled from Photoshop and sets made by other people for Photoshop and adjusted them for Sketchbook. Some of these are brushes I created myself. So I am remedying this problem myself and making brush sets to share with you. I love how lightweight Sketchbook Pro is on my computer, but I was disappointed in the limited number of brushes that came with the program, and was surprised to find that there are NO custom made brush sets floating around out there, like there is for Photoshop and GIMP - especially after I found out how easy it was to make them!
