  • Outline brushes
  • Pencils
  • Oils
  • Fineliners

Anyone using Procreate can create their own brushes. But lots of artists will buy their own brushes so that they don't have to reinvent the wheel. If you've made a set of brushes that you want to and have noticed a gap in the market - then that could be an ideal chance to earn money by selling the brushes you've created with Procreate.

  • Creating physical items for sale, including t-shirts glasses, or bottles of water with your art. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is through a print on demand service, but you won't get a huge amount of revenue per item that way.
  • Taking commissions for custom pieces of artwork - like an artwork of someone's pet, wedding photo, or family group.
  • Artists can earn money via Patreon, producing regular fresh art exclusively for your Patrons.
