Many of these artists create their own custom brushes and brush textures. Some even release their creations online for free.

Anyone new to SAI can learn a lot just by playing with these brushes. You may not create a masterpiece on your first attempt, but you can at least familiarize yourself with the process.

More experienced artists will also enjoy these brushes and find a ton of variety to nail down some very distinct textures. Have a look and see what you think!

Default SAI Textures

Let’s kick things off with this massive list of Paint Tool SAI textures.

The brush tool in SAI works a little differently than Photoshop or Krita. It uses textures to design brushes along with other settings that you can customize on the fly.

This means a lot of artists will take screenshots of their brush settings and release them online, but they won’t always release a full brush file. This is because the brushes often rely on textures to create the end result.

Some of the newer versions of SAI do not come with all the same textures. Naturally this is pretty frustrating.

But if you grab a copy of this texture pack you’ll have all the assets you need to work with the brush tool on your own.

You could even mess around with some settings to create your own custom brushes from scratch. How cool!

40 Brush Settings

So I just mentioned how SAI often uses custom settings for brushes. This is even clearer with this amazing pack of 40 free brush settings.

The creator DocWendigo released a pack of textures alongside these brushes and you can download all of them right from the DeviantArt page.

All the textures are hosted on sta.sh but they’re still free to download. And on the main brush settings DA page you’ll find a step-by-step tutorial on how to install these textures/brush settings into your software.

Please note: this is a bit confusing to learn but you’ll get the hang of it with time.

Parts of the process involve copying code and editing files directly like Brushtex.conf. It sounds scarier than it is.

Realistically this is just how SAI works so it’s part of the deal when painting in this software.

Blotmap Set VIII

Here’s a very nice blotter-style brush set designed by DA user K-OG.

This is totally free to download and use with any version of SAI. It’s got a brilliant setup and this breaks into three different categories: dark, walt, and grainy.

You can use this pack for almost any purpose and it should blend in nicely with all digital painting work.

I can’t say that inexperienced users will find this very comfortable. It does take a bit of effort to nail down the brushing process, not to mention handling settings like opacity.

But SAI is a favorite among anime and manga artists for good reason. These brushes are just one example.

Easy Paint Tool Sai Brushes

Note: I found a few different brush packs with the same name so if you Google search “easy paint tool sai brushes” you might find more to work with.

But this page seems like the easiest brush pack to start with. It has a visual tutorial along with direct download links on the page.

I’ve never personally used the Weasyl site before but it does seem legit. And it hosts plenty of free downloadable assets like these brushes.

Only trouble is the search feature doesn’t work too well. It’s hard to find brushes or textures on this site unless you do some advanced searches in Google.

I’d definitely recommend grabbing this pack though and keeping it handy.

The tutorial makes this an easy setup for absolute beginners too.

Brush Supplement #2

So many artists hit a wall with free brushes. They eventually learn how to create their own, but not all are created equal.

I will say that this free supplementary brush pack is one of the best out there. DeviantArt user DarlingMionette offers over 15 custom brushes with a wide range of styles:

  • Airbrush
  • Rough crayon
  • Marker
  • Chalky
  • Copics
  • Watercolor
  • Etc, etc…

You can download the entire set for free off the DeviantArt page. The full set measures about 6MB in size so it’s pretty big.

But this is also one of the absolute best brush packs you’ll ever find for SAI. Really, this has it all.

If you’re still learning how to create your own brushes this would be an excellent place to start. Really easy brush set to break into and it works for all skill levels.

Fur Brush

To get into something a little more specific have a look at this fur brush created by rainbowsprinkles12.

At first glance this may not look like much. But you can do a lot with brush settings to get this fur brush to look how you want.

Whether you’re drawing a horse’s mane or a big grizzly bear, this brush should work wonders. It’s also pretty small only weighing 50KB in size.

The download link can be found on the main DA page along with comments and further setup instructions.

Keep in mind you can search DA for brushes and for groups related to Paint Tool SAI. These are both good methods for finding similar brushes meant for a very specific purpose.

Artist Textures

Moving into some textures we have this fun pack by user aheria.

These textures are plentiful and really easy to adjust as needed. Some will prove more useful than others but overall it’s a great pack to have.

There’s a lot here from basic markings to more detailed textures like paper and cardboard. You can work these into any brush style you want to create a variety of effects.

All these textures were created from open source Creative Commons photos, or from public domain photos, so everything is free to distribute and edit for yourself.

For an amazing texture pack with some vivacity definitely check out aheria’s collection.

Colorful Texture Pack

For some color and pizzazz in your painting work check out these colorful textures released by AF-studios.

Inside the pack you’ll find 5 huge JPEG files measuring 2000×3000 pixels. That’s pretty darn big! And they all work up to 300 DPI which is perfect for print resolution.

These textures weigh about 38MB which definitely isn’t small. But these are textures you can use across so many brushes, or even alter them in photoshop to create new textures.

So much potential here in this pack of 5 basic textures. All you need to do is take the first step and download it.

SAI Textures

Super basic yet incredibly useful describes this texture pack.

It comes as a freebie from user Piromanova and the pack includes 17 unique textures tailor-made for brushes. You can alter the shape, spacing, and even change how they work based on opacity.

A lot of options to work with here.

Inside the .zip file you’ll find a set of instructions on how to install these textures too.

SAI can be really confusing if you’ve never used it before so basic instructions are pretty commonplace with texture packs.

I do recommend checking this out and testing these textures just to see what you think. They don’t follow traditional brush norms but they are really well-designed. And they can fit into a bunch of project types from custom comics to anime fan art.

Custom SAI Brushes

If you’re looking more for shapes and unique brush styles then DigiKat04 has a pack for you.

Take a look at these custom SAI brushes and see what you think. I’d argue this pack is one of the better options if you’re doing a lot of custom effects or graphic design work mixed with illustrations.

But many of these brushes also work very nicely with digital painting. The Scale, Flat, Lace, and Flake brushes all look really nice together. I’m also a fan of the Dragonfly brush style.

Inside this pack you’ll find 12 unique brushes with a wide range of styles to work with.

Overall definitely recommend grabbing this set whether you’re a newbie or experienced artist.

Grass Brush

You may look at this grass brush design and get the idea it’s a pattern brush.

However most SAI brushes are not stamp/pattern brushes.

This grass brush is actually a style of brushes designed around individual strokes that you can use to draw grass, bushes, hedges, and so on.

This means you really need to have your fundamentals down and feel comfortable with digital painting before you can turn this into grass.

That said, this brush can be used for so much more than just grass. It’s got a very smooth feeling with easy curves and the end result depends a lot on your pen pressure.

An excellent resource that I highly recommend toying with if you have the time.

Leaf & Bark Brushes

Nature brushes are always nice to have. Aside from the grass brush mentioned above there’s also this free pack of leaf and bark brushes.

The textures really do feel quite natural and they’ll blend into any piece of artwork.

But I do think this pack will be tough for newbies just learning Paint Tool SAI from scratch. If you’ve never done any digital drawing in here before then spend some time with the default brushes first.

Try to use this pack more as an addition once you’re comfortable with digital painting. It feels great under your stylus but will take some adjusting.

Electroslime SAI Brushes

Gumroad is one of the best websites to find digital art brushes. Problem is they’re spaced out across tons of profiles and there’s no easy way to search for everything.

But Gumroad user electroslime has a really nice brush pack that I highly recommend downloading.

This is totally free so it’s a valuable asset for beginners and experts alike. Not to mention the brush pack itself is full of so many nifty designs.

You’ll find cloud-style brushes along with pencil and pen styles to match any piece of artwork. There’s a good mix of examples in the image above with semi-blended and blended work all from these same brushes.

What I like most about this pack is the consistency. It can be used for almost any project so this is a brush set you’ll use many times over.

Nintendo ARMS Brush Pack

Nintendo ARMS is a lesser-known game with a dedicated following. The art style is superb and this brush kit is aimed at mimicking the style.

Digital artist BlackHeartedInk created this brush pack and released it for free on Gumroad. The default price is $0 so just hit download and this pack is yours.

The styles are a clear copy of the ARMS artwork so you can paint your own similar characters with a similar style.

Or design your own brushes with a similar format, or even paint some custom artwork. Whatever you want!

Interestingly enough this artist created an ARM brush pack 2.0 with some updated settings to better match the style.

I like the original pack myself but you can grab both for free and try them out.

Super Smash Bros. ULTIMATE

This is an excellent all-purpose brush that you can use to create amazing works of art without ever having to switch tools.

This has a sketchy dry brush texture that you can use to create light, wispy shapes or layer for more depth and opacity. This can give your cartooning and concept art a bit more “life” in the final design.

Play with the settings to try creating different effects and line qualities too. This might become your new favorite brush!

And make sure to view the linked demo video to see this bad boy in action.

Doxy’s Brush Dump

Now this pack is the result of an artist’s past decade of experience and the brushes they use the most!

This is a good toolbox of brushes that includes all kinds of textures, line qualities, and screen tones so that you can render just about anything you can think of in any medium.

If you’re new to Paint Tool SAI and just want a basic pack of brushes to get you started, this is a fantastic place to start.

Doodlemancy’s SAI Brushes

This set of 3 brushes even gives each one a name: “pencil,” “softy”, and “bloopy”.

If those aren’t descriptive, I don’t know what is!

The pencil brush is what it sounds like: a brush that perfectly captures the texture and quality of a soft pencil (think 6B), which is great for sketching and line drawing.

The softy brush is a round, fuzzy, pastel-like brush that’s great for shading. But also handy for soft highlights and texturing. It’s like applying little puff balls to the page.

The bloopy brush is a small brush that’s great for drawing soft lines, which is a strong fit if you’re going for a serene look.

Overall this threesome is a lot of fun to play with, and no that’s not dirty.

SAI Brushpack(9 Custom Styles)

Nine awesome texture brushes make up this pack that mimics the quality of wet and dry pastels.

Some brushes in here have a scratchy texture while others are much softer and almost look like paint.

You can also layer colors beautifully with these brushes and texture just about anything you can think of from hair, skin, and eyes to cloth, grass, clouds, foliage, and stone.

Each brush has a distinctly different mood, too. So you’ll probably have a lot of fun incorporating these into your regular brush rotation.

2srooky Sai Brush Pack

I think the best brush packs are the ones that artists use themselves and have fine-tuned over time to match their drawing needs.

Well that’s exactly what you’ll find here, a collection of 2srooky’s favorites.

Each one in this set is designed to provide everything you need to create complete drawings and digital art with minimal adjustments and brush changes. Over weeks and months of painting this adds up to a lot of time saved.

Nintendo ARMS Brush 2.0

This is the second iteration of this artist’s original ARMS brush, designed to do everything the original could do… but better!

Everything here was made to replicate the look and feel of the Nintendo ARMS game, so if you love that game and would like to incorporate that into your style, well look no further.

This brush has all the same texturing and precision as the game art style which is really cool. And it can add a lot of movement and energy to any digital drawing.

Big Brushes Pack

Don’t you love it when artists put together the actual stuff they use?

That’s always what I’m looking for and it’s why I love this set.

Custom Paint Brushes

Inside you’ll find a great variety of textures, shapes, brush tips, and more, all in this one pack.

I have to say this is the perfect all-purpose pack that makes for a fantastic kickoff point if you aren’t sure where to start with Paint Tool SAI brushes. Try it out and see what you think!

AcetalDigital’s Sai Brushes

There’s nothing better than a good brush you can use for everything, right?

Well this one like the hammer in your toolkit.

You can use this one brush to complete an entire work of art, from the initial sketching to coloring, texturing, highlighting, and shading.

It’s an incredible resource for digital artists. I feel like it can do just about anything and it’s an awesome addition to your brush collection for SAI powerusers.

Luvbites: Artist Starter Pack

This set of tools is great for the Paint Tool SAI beginner who wants a comprehensive set to begin with, along with templates and instructions for getting the most out of them.

Inside you’ll find over 40 custom brushes (for versions 1 and 2), a template for soft shading, and a template for cell shading.

No matter what your style is like or what you want to draw, this brush set is indispensable. At least check it out and give it a quick test run.

Sketchers Brush Pack

Inside this collection you’ll find 10 sketching brushes that are perfect for base sketches, detailing, doodling, highlighting, or even texturing.

Most of these brushes are textured and lend a fun scratchy-ness to your sketches that you’re bound to love.

They mimic a variety of mediums like pens and pencils, chalk, watercolor, and acrylic paint.

Keep in mind, these are only for Paint Tool SAI 2 so it’s unclear if they can run in older versions(you can try, but not officially supported).

If you do a lot of digital doodling in Paint Tool SAI then this pack is a must-have.

qvoro’s brushes

Funny enough, this is actually a set originally made Clip Studio Paint that includes settings for two of the brushes in Paint Tool SAI (Color and Line).

I’ll admit, these are pretty basic and you’ll probably find yourself using them for quick drawings or possibly even more detailed artworks. But not a whole lot else.

Use the sketch brush for your base sketch, and maybe as you move onto fine details and textures too.

Then use the color brush for your coloring, shading, and highlighting. It’s amazing what you can do with just two well-designed brushes, once you learn how to use ‘em that is.

Sai Artistic Textures Vol1

Don’t let the volume 1 in the title fool you here. This set is perfect just the way it is, no volume 2 needed.

Custom Paint Brushes

Here you’ll pick up some fantastic brushes for quickly rendering all kinds of textures, from animal skin to worn concrete, corrugated metal to a sci-fi “coding” texture.

You’ll have a lot of fun playing with these brushes and finding creative ways to work them into your digital paintings.

One other cool feature: these brushes are all seamless so they’re great for filling in large areas quickly. This pack can also help you save a ton of time while adding a whole new dimension of texturing to your SAI workflow.

LoZ Breath of The Wild Brush Pack

Every Legend of Zelda game has some of the best graphics and character designs hands-down.

These designs come from amazing video game artists who produce some incredible concept art for the series.

The same artist mentioned above created this Legend of Zelda brush pack designed exclusively for SAI users. These brushes are meant to mimic the artistic style from Breath Of The Wild.

And let me say this brush pack does a fantastic job.

While this is hosted on Gumroad, you’ll notice it has a price tag of $0. That means you can download the entire pack for free at no cost, or choose to give a tip. Either way these brushes are available for everyone.

Gumroad is one of the best sites for artists to share tutorials, brushes, textures, everything. It’s the single largest digital download marketplace so it’s a trusted resource.

Considering you can get these brushes totally free I’d absolutely recommend grabbing them.

Especially if you’re big into game art or if you’d ever want to paint your own concept art from scratch.

The rebranding from Manga Studio to Clip Studio Paint was sudden but nothing major.

More artists now than ever are switching and creating artwork in Clip Studio Paint.

And every artist knows brushes are the cornerstone of great digital art. Whether you’re drawing, inking, or painting, you need the right brushes for the job.

Thankfully all previous Manga Studio 5/EX brushes work flawlessly in Clip Studio Paint. Not to mention artists have been releasing their own CSP brushes ever since the software update.

I’ve cataloged the absolute best brushes for CSP and Manga Studio all in this post.

No matter what software you’re running or what kind of artwork you make, there’s gonna be a few brushes here that’ll pique your interest.

1. Big Brush Set

Let’s start with one of my favorites: a massive brush pack originally designed for Manga Studio 5.

All of these brushes work with CSP so there’s no concern over what software to run. Not to mention there’s a lot of variety here between the basic set of drawing brushes, inking brushes, and some older custom designs.

Perfect for artists of all skill levels and this makes a great entryway into CSP.

Highly recommend grabbing a copy of this pack. It’s pretty large at 41MB but it’s well worth the download.

2. CSP Brush Pack #1

DeviantArt user Yettyen has created a few brush packs of their own to merge with Clip Studio Paint.

This pack is the first of two which includes a few handy brush styles from basic markings to some foliage designs.

It’s a fairly small pack but you can find something in here for any piece of work. Painting gets a lot easier with the right brushes so it’s worth testing these out just to get a feel for how they work.

3. CSP Brush Pack #2

The same artist above released this second pack of brushes with quite a few enhancements.

You will find foliage brushes and spackle brushes mixed in. But there are some cool new designs like a forest brush and a custom treetop brush.

By the name these may sound a little cheesy. I’m actually surprised how well they work and how much they blend into a painting.

With various textures and some nice cloud brushes in here this is definitely a pack worth downloading.

4. Manga Studio 5 Brushes

This older set of 14 MS5 brushes can work nicely in the newer versions of Clip Studio Paint too.

All of the brushes follow a kind of theme with simple cloud blending brushes, patchy charcoal-style brushes, and glitchy pixel-y brushes.

Some designs even borrow inspiration from Minecraft which is an interesting take.

Check out the preview on the main DA page and see if this pack could fit into your workflow.

5. Elisven Brushes

Here’s a very nice custom pack released by DeviantArt user Elisven.

These come straight from Clip Studio Paint and were designed by the artist directly. That means you’ll be getting a handy pack of brushes that should fit any style, any project, with any goal.

A couple concept brushes mixed with some textures and a few organic brushes all make up this pack of 6 brushes.

Not huge, but not small either. You can do a lot with these brushes given the right skillset.

6. Mama Madzia Brushes

In regards to top-tier custom brushes I have to cast my vote for this set created by DA user MagdaPROski.

It’s meant specifically for Clip Studio Paint with a focus on painting.

There’s a lot to unpack here with some oil brushes, a textured brush, wet/dry mixes and even a nice “hairy” brush. It works beautifully on hair and blends smoothly with the other brushes in this set.

Absolutely worth grabbing if you’re into digital painting with CSP.

If you’re just getting into this software you can also find a lot of value with these brushes. Although you might try using them with a few tutorials to get accustomed to the software.

7. SerketStalker’s Assorted Brushes

For a nice variety of miscellaneous brushes have a look at SerketStalker’s set.

It comes with 18 unique brushes from simple ink & pen brushes up to more complex designs like flower patterns and crystal brushes.

Granted I realize not all of these will be useful to the average artist. But the best brushes in here are the painting & drawing brushes, especially the speedpainting brushes. Plenty to play with in this set if you’re already familiar with the software.

Not to mention at the price of free you can’t beat it.

8. Blue & Red Pencil Brushes

Many artists like to work in red or blue pencil to mark sketches, practice drawings, or just for a bit more color on the page.

It’s become a norm in traditional drawing and now it’s something you can do in Clip Studio Paint thanks to these colored pencil brushes.

Inside the pack you’ll find two of each color with varying textures. They do look a lot like pencil sketches and that’s really what sells me on this pack.

Anyone who’s looking to do some digital drawing will enjoy this freebie.

9. Dry Brushes

DeviantArt user RoastedStix has a fantastic dry brush pack for artists. This comes with a handful of different brush styles and they all take on a very nice brush feeling to them.

Is this worth using in your work? Well if you’re into painting scenes from scratch then absolutely.

If you’re more into sketching first and filling in later this may feel a bit too loose at times. Although nothing beats working with brushes that really feel like brushes.

A great free pack that should be a solid fit for all digital painters.

10. Gouache Brushes

The same person who created the pack above also released this gouache set for CSP.

It was originally designed for Manga Studio 5 but has since been updated with a few tweaks. Now it works in both programs and it’s one of the better options I’ve found to mimic a traditional feeling on the screen.

With a total of 10 brushes available you’ve got a lot to pick from. And these brushes can do wonders for your painting work if you’re willing to put in the time with them.

At first these may feel awkward under your stylus but give it time. You’ll pick up the feeling pretty quickly.

11. DV Brush Set

In this massive set of CSP brushes you’ll get well over 100 styles all together in a single pack.

The DV Brush Set created by Darkodev certainly deserves recognition. It’s one of the largest sets on the Internet and it’s specifically designed for Clip Studio Paint users.

You can find a lot of brush styles in here between weather brushes, custom textures, and some of the more “basic” brushes that we all use everyday.

Whether you’re painting fur, dinosaur scales, a mech suit or a meadow scene, this brush pack has it all with more than you’ll probably ever need.

12. DAUB Brushes

I really like the simpler brush packs because they apply to more regular projects. And that’s exactly what you’ll find in this paintbrush set by DAUB.

A full 20 brushes that work for MS5 and CSP so there’s plenty to go around. Not to mention this includes a few handy textures for altering some brushes and changing the final lay down.

You can work in styles like watercolors, oils, pencil or ink, all with this one brush pack.

I’d say this is truly an artist’s brush set. Every single item in here has a purpose and can find its way into your artwork.

13. Escente CSP Brushes

DeviantArt user Escente published a small pack of custom brush settings based on their own brushes panel.

These brush settings are really easy to edit and pretty simple to setup. But if does help if you already have experience working in CSP.

Spectrum Brush

I won’t say the brushes match exactly with their intention. The acrylic brush looks good but not a perfect match, same with the oil brush.

However they are definitely believable if you do a lot of digital work.

If you’re brand new to digital painting maybe pick one of the earlier brush sets to start with a wider variety.

14. TheInkyWay Brushes

I’m surprised just how many Manga Studio brush packs are still out there online.

But they work just fine with all newer versions of CSP so it makes sense. One nice example is this pack with a bunch of really fun styles.

You can work with a calligraphy brush to draw words and dialogue for your own webcomic. Or you can really hit reflected light on your paintings with the smooth painterly brushes.

Everything is customizable in the brushes panel and there’s a little something here for everyone.

Worth checking out to at least gauge your own opinion.

15. Essential CSP

Gumroad is the place to be for awesome brush packs. One user hattersarts created a totally free essentials kit full of Clip Studio Paint brushes.

I’d say the name “essentials” fits this well.

You can get started with CSP just using this brush pack and learn a lot in the process. This has a few textured brushes for drawing & painting along with some basic flat brushes for making simple marks.

Custom paint brushes

I can’t say this is overly detailed but it’s certainly worth grabbing a copy to try out.

16. Free Sample Pack

For something with a tad more variety have a look at this free sample brush pack designed exclusively for Clip Studio Paint.

Note the majority of brushes made for CSP are backwards-compatible for Manga Studio and there shouldn’t be any problem getting these to work in either program.

This free brush set is small but certainly unique. Some nice pencil/sketching brushes along with painterly brushes.

All-around just one heck of an asset.

Works well for all skill levels and for all types of drawings from anime work to more stylized illustrations.

17. Loose Inkers

Digital inking feels a lot different than working with art pens traditionally.

Technique is the key, but the right brushes can help a lot too. Have a look at this brush set made for inking in CSP.

It’s a very small pack with only 3 brushes that all have a loose inking feel to them.

If you do a lot of digital inking this is absolutely worth trying. You may not like the feeling at first but you can adjust the settings with ease.

18. BrotherBaston Brush Pack

Now here’s a truly incredible varied brush pack with a lot to go through.

Cloud noise, dry brushes, pencils, basic flat brushes and so much more gets packed into this tiny freebie from BrotherBaston.

Out of all the pencil/brush packs with a focus on artwork, I have to vote this within the top 5. It’s super easy to pick up and use plus it comes with a lot of variety in brush styles.

Changing opacity, size, and even altering shape is all basically a breeze.

Great for experienced CSP users but also a nice fit for newbies too.

19. Side Pencil Brush

Unique brushes always have a place in your toolbox. You never know when they’ll come in handy.

If you’re looking to add more into your collection have a quick look at this side pencil brush pack.

It’s meant to do exactly what the name suggests: mimic a pencil drawn at a slant.

And let me say it does this job beautifully.

I’ve yet to find any similar brush that hits the screen in a similar way. Granted not everyone will find this useful but it’s definitely a unique design with some powerful applications.

20. Porforever Custom Brushes

Digital artist Porforever released this brush pack tailor made for Clip Studio Paint.

It’s a fairly large pack that’s actually a combination of 3 different brush sets. You get some nature brushes, cloud brushes, and a few custom shapes mixed in.

Not all of these will work for digital art. They may not fit every project and you may not even have a use for some of these shapes.

But it’s worth considering given the $0 price tag and the large variety you get in this 3-for-1 freebie set.

21. DAUB Pencils

Earlier I mentioned the DAUB brushes pack and now I wanna share their custom pencil brushes pack.

The name DAUB is synonymous with quality. You can find a bunch of premium brushes on the main website but I recommend sticking to the free brushes at first.

You can find everything you need between their free paint brush pack along with this pencil pack.

For pencils you’ll find a few hard & soft styles along with a brush for shading and a greasy pencil.

In my eyes this is a must-have brush pack. Especially if you’re gonna do a lot of sketching or line work before painting your pieces.

22. Shrineheart’s Mega Pack

In this brush pack you’ll find over 1,400(yes that’s a four-figure number) brushes divided into 40 different yet equally amazing packs.

No matter what your style is like or what you’re drawing, you’ll find the perfect brush here for everything from skin to splatters to fur.

This bundle will set you back $70 in total. But at 5 cents a brush, that’s still a bargain!

Diy Custom Paint Brushes From Rubber

This might be the only brush pack you ever need for digital painting in CSP. and you’ll constantly discover new brushes to play with as your style evolves.

Custom Paint Brushes Photoshop

23. Shrineheart’s Painterly Fur

Few things take longer to draw than fur and hair.

So make sure to try this pack of 27 brushes specifically made to render all kinds of fur, from soft and fluffy to coarse and matted.

They also work really well for rendering feathers and foliage!

If you draw animals or any kind of hairy creature in your concept art, this pack will save you a ton of time.

24. Landscape Texture Brush Pack

Safe to say you’ll feel like Bob Ross with this brush pack.

This pack is made up of 100+ brushes specifically created for painting mountains, clouds, water, stones, and everything else you’d possibly want to include in your landscape paintings.

A lot of these brushes started out as Photoshop brushes and were adapted for Clip Studio, so you might love these if you’re also a fan of PS and like the brushes you’ve used there.

Whether you paint traditional landscapes or include a lot of landscapes in your concept art (or if you WANT to) this brush pack is a must-snag.

25. INK for CSP

Now this set of brushes is perfect for comic book artists, illustrators, calligraphers, or anyone who uses a lot of “ink” digitally.

Custom Brushes Paint.net

It contains over 40 brushes that mimic different types of pens for ink line work.

You’ll also get brushes for splashing and blotting that work like real ink. These brushes also create halftones for even more shading options.

All brushes in here are compatible with CSP 1.6.2, 1.6.3, and newer versions as well as Manga Studio 5.

26. New Watercolor Set

After you grab this pack you’ll feel like you’re unwrapping a brand new set of watercolors from the art supply store.

These brushes have beautiful transparency and a loose quality exactly like real watercolors.

You can layer colors and values and create all kinds of wet and dry textures you could make with paint and paper.

These brushes download as multiple filetypes including .png, .clip, and .psd files. So they’re compatible with tons of different programs outside of CSP too. You can even download a brush to try for free if you’d like a little sample first.

27. Typesprite Basic Set

Let’s wrap with a simple pack of basic brushes for Clip Studio Paint.

This comes to us from the creative mind of Typesprite. Check out their Gumroad for more assets including another free Clip Studio Paint brush set.

I like this basic pack because it lives up to the name. It’s basic enough that you can work with these brushes on any project and with any art style.

Excellent for beginners, intermediates, and advanced artists too. Plus these work nicely for practice sessions whether you’re doing some digital figure drawing or just scribbling a few sketches.

Combine this pack with the more advanced brushes mentioned above and you’ll have a powerhouse toolkit for your CSP artwork.
