Creating landscapes and background imagery in Procreate has never been easier as the number of brushes available to artists is endless. The app comes with some awesome options and there are some really cool alternatives available online.

Drawing certain elements of nature can be challenging because in most cases, what you’re trying to draw is organic matter which is hard to replicate using a technical and digital program. That’s why finding the right brush is essential before you begin drawing.

I’m Carolyn and I’ve been using Procreate for over three years to run my digital illustration business so I am constantly on the lookout for new and improved brushes to help me create multiple challenging aspects of digital artwork in my own projects.

In this article, I’m going to share with you some of the brushes I have used on a daily basis to create all things nature in my canvas.
