FUR brushes for PROCREATE [Free and Premium]

Hi! Today I present to you a list of Fur brushes for Procreate – Free and Premium!

Last time I gathered a list of Ink brushes for Procreate, and while looking through the internet I found some amazing brushes that I think will help you to draw fur and hair.

I focused here mostly on animal fur brushes. If you are looking for brushes that will help you paint human hair, please check out this list: HAIR brushes for Procreate

I hope this list will help you to save some time on drawing fur and enjoy the process of painting your illustration even more –  right below you can find the quick list with direct links, and a little further I gathered a detailed list with brushes’ descriptions and specifications.

List of Procreate Fur Brushes

The sets are made specifically for the Procreate app, but a few of them have variations that work in Photoshop and other graphic software – I added direct links to these sets in “software compatibility” details.

Many of these sets were created by artists for themselves and later made available to download and use by other fellow artists.
I always try to link to the artist’s portfolio/social media page, so if you have some free time and like a certain brush set – please check out also the artist’s websites! You can see some of their brushes in action, and many of these artists create even video tutorials on how to paint in Procreate.
Please remember to give them a “thumb up” or leave a comment under the artist’s creations to show them your appreciation for their work, thank you!

Have fun making furry illustrations!

1. 28 Realistic FUR Brushes for Procreate by Eldar Zakirov

View brushes (28)

Zipped File Size: 42.7 MB
File Types Included: .BRUSHSET .PDF
Software compatibility: Procreate | (alternative versions: Photoshop | Affinity )
*This pack doesn’t contain Photoshop or Affinity files, they are available to purchase in separate sets, linked above.

I already admire Eldar Zakirov aka Ldarro for his Ink brushes and amazing illustrations. Luckily, he decided to share his other brush packs with us, including fur brushes, which he developed over a few years and uses to create his professional artworks.

*These brushes are used by the artist to speed up the process and were initially created for Photoshop. Later they were adapted to work in Procreate and Affinity.

The original PHOTOSHOP brushpack:
You can see on this thumbnail artworks created by Eldar Zakirov – with the help of these fur brushes (the photoshop version)

In the pack, you will find 28 brushes + PDF file containing some tips. As this brush pack was created to meet Ldarro’s specific needs, you may need to read the tips first in order to be able to achieve your desired effects or tweak the brush settings a little bit.

Ps. If you are curious about Ldarro’s artworks, you can take a look at his portfolio!

 

2. Animal fur and hair by Mels Brushes

File Types Included: .BRUSHSET
Software compatibility: Procreate

Here’s a beautiful pack of 32 fur brushes by Mel!
You will find here such brushes as “kitten plume”, “dirty dog”, “fluffy tail”, and even “fleece” and “duckling”.
This pack was created mostly with animals in mind but can be used to draw people’s hair too.
You can use these brushes to smudge as well as paint, and build up layer by layer. Tip from Mel – Try out layer blends to give your work real depth of colour and richness. Overlay works well.

Mel began putting sets of photoshop brushes which she had produced during various personal design projects on DeviantArt, and later on her website. Beside procreate brushes, she creates also Photoshop, Illustrator brushes, and clipart drawings (png and vector).
* She also published on her website some stuff that you can download for free – so check out her site melsbrushes.co.uk 🙂

Witherlings published also a different, wildlife brush pack(These brushes are free for use in your personal or commercial artwork) where you can also download fur brushes – however, these are not saved in .brushset format. You may need to tweak them to achieve the desired effect.
