Made From Real-World Sources

There are a number of advantages to using a tablet or computer to draw your maps, but often the end result can look stiff and clearly digital. One of the best ways to overcome this problem is to use a variety of brushes with shapes and textures based on traditional tools.

Plenty of Variety

This pack is broken into five categories with three brushes in each to provide the variety you need for your projects. There are brushes for line work, shading, sketching, painting, and even traditional stippling.

Tested In Professional Work

I can honestly say these 15 brushes are some of my absolute favorites I use every single day in my own work. When I put this pack together I went through my brush library and asked myself, “If you could give 15 brushes to somebody to get them started drawing maps, which would they be?” As I depend upon these brushes myself, I am confident they will work for you. - Josh Stolarz

What Cartographers Have to Say

These brushes are wonderful. I was struggling to recreate my paper and pen style in Procreate until I came across these. They have transformed my digital workflow and I’d encourage any aspiring cartographer to invest in these brushes.
