GrutBrushes review
A broad, affordable brush catalog for artists working across major creative apps.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GrutBrushes is a downloadable library of digital painting tools for professional artists, hobbyists, illustrators, and other digital creators. Its catalog covers Photoshop brush sets, Procreate brushes, cloud and splatter tools, pattern brushes, and paper-texture templates. The collection spans watercolor, oil, ink, pencil, mixer, and other natural-media workflows, making it a fit for artists who want to work across more than one creative application.
Pricing is structured around one-time purchases. An Individual Photoshop brush costs $1 and includes one downloadable Photoshop brush. Art Brushes Complete costs $20 for 500+ Photoshop brushes in ABR and TPL formats with perpetual use. Procreate Brushes Unlimited costs $20 and includes 167 Procreate brushes, unlimited downloads for 12 months, permanent use of downloaded brushes, and a commercial license. The 52 Photoshop Cloud Brushes plan costs $12 one time and includes 52 cloud brushes. These options let buyers start with a single asset or move to larger collections without a recurring subscription for the listed products.
Platform coverage is a central strength. GrutBrushes supports Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, Artstudio Pro, Adobe Fresco, Adobe Sketch, and Photoshop Elements through listed imports and formats including ABR, TPL, .brush, and PSD. Procreate sets include a browser-based installation workflow, while paper-texture Art Surface templates and an optional Photoshop CC brush-organizer plugin extend the toolkit beyond basic brush files. Artists who want cross-application variety and commercial-use options should find the catalog well suited; those seeking a free-first or narrowly focused brush collection may prefer a simpler alternative.
