Updated July 2026
Download anime & manga Procreate brushes for iPad: cel-shading, ink liners, screentones, hair and eye brushes. Free & premium packs.
Brusher has 7 anime Procreate brush packs — cel-shading, lineart, screentones — each a native .brushset that installs into Procreate in one tap on iPad.
Anime Procreate brushes give you the complete manga and anime toolkit — clean cel-shading brushes, crisp ink liners, screentones, and specialised hair and eye brushes that define the style. Whether you're drawing characters, comic pages or fan art, these brushes handle the distinctive flat-colour, hard-shadow look of anime that painterly brushes can't replicate.
The collection spans cel-shading and flat-colour brushes, G-pen-style ink liners, screentone and halftone fills, and dedicated hair and eye brushes. It pairs naturally with our anime portrait and eye builder packs for full character work.

Anime styles
Cel-shading and clean anime line art
The anime look rests on two pillars: crisp line art and cel-shading. Ink with a G-pen-style brush that tapers confidently, keeping lines clean and weighted. Then flat-colour each element on its own layer, and add shadow as a single hard-edged shape on a clipped layer above — no soft gradients. That decisive, two-tone shadow is what makes shading read as anime rather than realism.
For manga pages, swap colour for screentone: apply dot patterns to shadow areas for that printed look. Keep highlights simple and graphic, and lean on comic techniques like speed lines for drama. Clean lines plus flat cel-shadows is the whole formula.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best anime brushes for Procreate?+
A crisp G-pen-style ink brush for line art plus a hard-edged brush for cel-shading are the essentials. Add screentone brushes for manga and dedicated hair and eye brushes for character detail, and you can draw complete anime pieces — clean lines and flat, two-tone shadows are the core look.
How do I cel-shade in Procreate?+
Flat-colour each element on its own layer, then add a new clipped layer above and paint the shadow as a single hard-edged shape — no soft blending. Use one shadow tone and keep highlights simple and graphic. That decisive two-tone approach is exactly what makes shading read as anime.
Do these work for manga screentones?+
Yes — screentone brushes let you paint dot and hatching patterns directly into shadow areas for that authentic printed-manga look, on their own layer so you can adjust density. It's the digital equivalent of applying physical tone sheets, without the cutting and pasting.
