GrutBrushes
What it is
GrutBrushes is a collection of handcrafted digital art tools, including brushes and smart digital paper, for artists working in supported creative apps. Its Photoshop brushes respond to hand movement and pressure, so strokes vary with the artist’s input. The Photoshop Complete set includes watercolor, ink, oil, impasto, natural media, pencil, charcoal, specialty, cross-hatching and mixer brushes.
For Procreate, Brushes Unlimited lets users browse, search, preview and install brushes directly to an iPad, with access to new brushes for 12 months. The optional Photoshop plugin organizes presets into sets, supports drag-and-drop ordering and can add shop brushes inside Photoshop. The maker says the plugin does not work with the latest Photoshop update that removed legacy plugins, although ABR files remain usable in Photoshop CC’s brushes panel. Free products and a free signup are listed, alongside a free 30-day trial membership that does not auto-bill. One-time purchases start at $1. The license allows commercial artwork, but not resale of downloaded files.
