Abstract and effects Procreate brushes for iPad: splatter, brush strokes, FX. Free & premium packs.
Brusher app for iPad & iPhone
200+ sets in the Brusher app, abstract effects included — plus free brushes and free tools.
Brusher has 12 abstract effects Procreate brush packs — splatter, brush strokes, abstract shapes — each a native .brushset that installs into Procreate in one tap on iPad.
Abstract and effects Procreate brushes are the wild card in any library — paint splatters, ink splashes, smoke, particles, light leaks and organic textures that add energy and unpredictability to a piece. When a design needs a burst of motion, a grungy accent or an otherworldly effect, these brushes deliver in a stroke what would take ages to build by hand.
The collection covers splatter and splash brushes, smoke and particle effects, abstract textures and organic marks, and dynamic FX for illustration and poster work. They're perfect for accents, backgrounds and full abstract compositions.

Using splatter and FX brushes without overdoing it
Effects brushes are seasoning, not the meal. A single well-placed splatter can add motion and grit; a canvas covered in them just looks noisy. Add spatter on its own layer so you can move, scale and mask it, and vary the droplet size and density so it feels natural rather than stamped.
For abstract backgrounds, layer a few large organic textures at low opacity and let them interact, then pull one element forward as a focal point. Combine FX with texture and a limited palette, and restraint will always read as more sophisticated than piling every effect on at once.
Abstract & Effects brushes — FAQ
What's the difference between splatter and paint-splash brushes?+
Splatter brushes scatter fine droplets for a speckled, energetic spray, while paint-splash brushes lay larger, liquid blobs and streaks. Splatter suits grit and motion accents; splashes suit bold, gestural marks. Both work best on their own layer so you can position and scale them freely.
How do I make abstract textures?+
Layer a few large organic or textured brushes at low opacity and let them overlap and interact, then bring one element forward as a focal point. Working with a limited palette and blend modes keeps abstract textures cohesive rather than chaotic.
What are the best brushes for FX in illustration?+
Splatter, smoke, particle and light-leak brushes add motion and atmosphere. Apply them sparingly on separate layers so you can mask and adjust them, and match the effect to the mood — a few smoke wisps or a burst of particles does more than a screen full of effects.
