But there are so many other products that you can sell as downloads, and if you\u2019re a fan of the <a href=\"https:\/\/procreate.art\/\">Procreate app<\/a> on iPad, Procreate brushes are a great one to try.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Procreate_Brushes_%E2%80%93_and_Why_Sell_Them\"><\/span>What Are Procreate Brushes \u2013 and Why Sell Them?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Procreate brushes are special tools that can be used to create different effects in Procreate, such as making your digital art look like you\u2019ve created it with watercolors.\u00a0 Special Procreate brushes can also mimic the effects of things like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Outline brushes<\/li>\n<li>Pencils<\/li>\n<li>Oils<\/li>\n<li>Fineliners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyone with Procreate can create their own brushes. But lots of artists will buy their own brushes to save time reinventing the wheel. If you\u2019ve created a set of brushes for your own use \u2013 or spotted a gap in the market \u2013 then that could be an ideal opportunity for cashing in by selling your own Procreate brushes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Sell_Your_Procreate_Art\"><\/span>Why Sell Your Procreate Art?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you sell Procreate brushes, you\u2019re marketing those to fellow digital artists. But you may also want to sell your artwork to people who collect and enjoy art. That could mean:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating physical items, such as t-shirts, water bottles, or hats that feature your artwork. The easiest way to do this is <a href=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/sell-procreate-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">through a print on demand company<\/a>, but you won\u2019t make a lot of profit per item that way.<\/li>\n<li>Taking commissions for custom pieces of art \u2013 such as a painting of someone\u2019s pet, wedding photo, or family group.<\/li>\n<li>Making money as an artist on Patreon, producing regular new art that\u2019s exclusively available for your Patrons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Create_Your_Own_Procreate_Brushes\"><\/span>How to Create Your Own Procreate Brushes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creating a Procreate brush is straightforward, but if you\u2019re doing it for the first time, you might need a little help on knowing where to start:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Choose an existing brush that\u2019s reasonably close to what you want to do. Create a duplicate of it. (Open the brush panel, then swipe left on the brush\u2019s thumbnail and select \u2018Duplicate\u2019.)<\/li>\n<li>Adjust the settings of your new brush. These include the stroke path, taper, shape, grain, and more. All of these have options you can fine-tune: for instance, the stroke path option lets you set the Spacing, StreamLine, Jitter, and Fall Off for your brush.<\/li>\n<li>Use the drawing pad to test out your brush. Experiment with different settings until you\u2019re happy with the effect you\u2019ve created.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you need a little more help, check out these great tutorials:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lizkohlerbrown.com\/how-to-create-any-brush-in-procreate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>How to Create Any Brush in Procreate<\/strong><\/a>: this guide covers all the basics, has loads of screenshots showing you the types of effects you could create, and also links to a Facebook group that you can join for further help.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/design.tutsplus.com\/tutorials\/how-to-create-and-customize-procreate-brushes--cms-31889\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>How to Create and Customize Procreate Brushes<\/strong><\/a>: this tutorial covers similar ground, but also includes a video tutorial plus screenshots showing you the different features in Procreate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Sell_Your_Procreate_Brushes\"><\/span>How to Sell Your Procreate Brushes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s always best to sell your Procreate brushes directly to customers, rather than through a third-party marketplace. That way, you get to keep almost all the profit!\u00a0 You also have the chance to build and develop your own brand. If someone buys from you, they\u2019re likely to go on and buy again. If they buy from a marketplace, they\u2019ll remember the marketplace, but not necessarily you as the seller. Of course, you can list your Procreate brushes on marketplaces too \u2026 but focus on making direct sales wherever possible.<\/p>\n<p>You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/payhip.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Payhip<\/a> to sell Procreate brushes to your customers. It doesn\u2019t cost anything for a Payhip account \u2013 Payhip just takes a small 5% percentage of each sale.\u00a0 When selling your brushes consider creating and exporting a package of similar brushes: this is how most Procreate brushes are sold. You could instead sell individual brushes if you prefer \u2013 but this might work best if you have a particularly unusual or creative brush to sell.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addContainer acBlue\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<p>SELL PROCREATE BRUSHESJoin over <b>130,000<\/b> sellers who have launched their online businesses with Payhip<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"action\"><a href=\"https:\/\/payhip.com\/auth\/register\">GET STARTED FOR FREE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here\u2019s your step by step guide to selling your Procreate brushes online:<\/p>\n<h3>1.

If you have multiple brushes, export them as a .zip file.<\/p>\n<h3>2.

Decide What to Charge for Your Procreate Brushes<\/h3>\n<p>Procreate brushes vary in cost, but most sets of brushes will cost somewhere around $10 &#8211; $20, depending on how many brushes the set includes and what use they\u2019re licensed for. If you\u2019re not sure what to charge, look at other premium Procreate brushes that are similar in scope to yours, and see how they\u2019re priced. Set the price in the \u201cPrice\u201d box of your product.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Upload At Least One Image of Your Brushes<\/h3>\n<p>Payhip lets you upload between 1 and 9 images for your product. The more you can show off your brushes, the better. You should always upload at least 1 image, but add more if you can.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Use Payhip\u2019s \u201cEmbed Button\u201d Feature to Sell Directly from Your Website<\/h3>\n<p>Payhip creates an online storefront for you, so you don\u2019t have to have your own website in order to sell your products. Many Payhip sellers do use their own site, however, embedding a \u201cBuy\u201d button so that customers don\u2019t need to leave their site in order to checkout. To do this, find your Procreate brushes product in the \u201cProducts\u201d tab of your Payhip account and click the \u201cShare\/Embed\u201d button alongside it. <a href=\"https:\/\/staticblog.payhip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/13183008\/sdf.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.payhip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/13183008\/sdf.png\" alt=\"embed procreate brush\" width=\"906\" height=\"105\" \/><\/a> Then, click on the Embed Button tab in the popup window. You can then choose the color and text for your button, and decide whether it works as a Direct Purchase or Add to Cart button. Once you\u2019ve done that, simply click to get the embed code, and follow the instructions to add the code to your website. <a href=\"https:\/\/staticblog.payhip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/13183036\/asd.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.payhip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/13183036\/asd.png\" alt=\"procreate brush listing\" width=\"595\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Sell_Your_Procreate_Artwork\"><\/span>How to Sell Your Procreate Artwork<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What if you want to sell your Procreate artwork rather than your brushes? You can sell your artwork as a digital or physical product through Payhip, perhaps calling it something like \u201cCustom Artwork\u201d. You could even offer artwork on subscription.\u00a0 Another option is to use Payhip to sell artwork commissions. There are a couple of different ways you could do this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a product with a .pdf file that contains instructions on how to request the commission (e.g. a link to fill out a form).<\/li>\n<li>Create a product with information about the commission process. Use <a href=\"https:\/\/help.payhip.com\/article\/128-custom-checkout-questions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">custom checkout questions<\/a> to collect information from the buyer about what they want, before they checkout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re concerned about getting more commissions than you can handle, you can easily limit how many times your \u201cCustom Artwork\u201d product can be bought. Edit your product, go to the Advanced Options near the bottom of the screen, then check the box for \u201cLimit the number of times this product can be sold.\u201d You can set whatever limit you want. <a href=\"https:\/\/staticblog.payhip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/13183109\/afsaf.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.payhip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/13183109\/afsaf.png\" alt=\"limit procreate brush download\" width=\"631\" height=\"429\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Develop_Your_Brand_Marketing_and_Promoting_Your_Procreate_Brushes_or_Art\"><\/span>How to Develop Your Brand: Marketing and Promoting Your Procreate Brushes or Art<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Putting your Procreate brushes or art up for sale isn\u2019t the final step!

Go to Marketing \u2192 Coupons in Payhip to create one.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage fellow artists to promote your brushes (or art) by offering an <a href=\"https:\/\/help.payhip.com\/article\/95-affiliates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affiliate program<\/a>. (Each time an affiliate makes a sale, they get a percentage of it \u2013 you determine that percentage ahead of time.)
