This was especially more evident with the release of Procreate 5 boasting of more features and capabilities,.
The market for brush sets is multiplying as its users are seeking better and more efficient tools, brushes, most of all, fulfilling their needs.
Thus, I took the time to make this list, the Top Ten Dot Brush Procreate 10 list.

Bonus Megapacks To Check Out
Additionally, I threw in a couple of extra megapacks.
Each megapack has multiple sets.
They contain quite a good number of dot and stipple brushes which is the main focus of this list.
Moreover, they also include a vast variety of complementary sets and brushes to help you along in making your art.
Anyhow, let’s get to it.
1. The Stipple Shading Brush Set
Another set by DiBrush, The Stipple Shading Brush set, included within it are 22 various stipple brushes.
As the name suggests, the primary use of these brushes is for shading and tinting.
It was created in a manner that allows their user to have a vintage tattoo or a retro comic effect depending on the usage.
This brush set can be used on its own.
It is highly recommended, as a matter of fact, for several purposes.
It is popularly used for shadowing and vintage-themed drawings.
However, it’s preferable to use it alongside other brushes or brush sets to get the maximum potential out of it.
In general, this set makes a significant investment if used in tandem with different brushes, be they primary or other professional sets.
You can own this for meager price of a little over 7 USD.
Pro:
- Superb tool for shading and tinting.
- Great complimentary set
- Highly affordable

- Compatible with only Procreate five or higher
2. Dots Procreate Brush, Seamless Pattern Brush
We’ve got this wonderful Procreate Dots brush set.

- Lively drawings
The dots add a bright and cheerful touch to an artwork.

3. The Inkers Brush Set by Idle Letters
Here is the Inkers brush set by Idle Letters.
It comes with 12 different brushes making a variety of inky patterns.
The utility of this set is, to some extent, limited, which is why it came on last in ranking.
Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean it’s useless as it has a notable variance between every brush.
The brushes included are:
- smooth straight patterns great for outlining
- Drag brushes for adding a gritty and bold texture to your drawing
- various stipple and dot brushes for when you want to add to the texture of your drawing
I believe this set would be most useful for when you’re looking to create posters, illustrations, and ads.
However, it can also be used in and for a variety of niches and genres, especially for adding a classic-y texture as well as outlining and filling.
This set is an affordable one.
But it is a replaceable one unless you work in marketing and/or graphic design (illustrations), then it would be an excellent investment to make.
Unfortunately, its compatibility is limited to iPad Pro, and mainly apple pencil; however, it is compatible with procreate 4 and 5.
Pros:
- Standalone set in its niches
- Works as an excellent complementary set outside its primary purposes
- Wide range of utility in multiple niches
- Affordable
Cons:
- Low compatibility relative to its desired usage

It comes with 22 brushes and a total of 54 brushes and needles.
It stands to say it provides a notable variety of shades.
As the name suggests, these brushes are most useful for tattoo artists.
But it can also be used to give a lively, tattoo-y depth to any drawing if appropriately used in comics, anime, and, surprisingly, logo design.
The various brushes in the set are also great for shading and tinting.
It also gives a smoothing touch to any piece you happen to be working on.
One quite exciting aspect about this set are the needles.
They replicate the exact patterns of actual tattoo needles, primarily the flat, magnum, round, and single needles as stated;.
It will take little time to get used to them, but worth the while as it allows you to make full use of the set.
In general, the tattoo shading set makes an excellent investment for tattoo artists as a primary set.

This set stands out for having one of the best to provide watercolor and oil imitating touches.
It also gives a natural flow to your drawing with its wide range of shades and its stroke sensitive brushes.
They allow you to freely manipulate the color scheme.
Furthermore, it’s one of the few sets out there that can stand entirely on its own.

6. The Halftone Procreate Brush Set
Another halftone brush set is The Halftone Procreate Brush set, this time by MiksKS with 17 brushes included within it.
Just as most halftone sets out there, this is a standalone set.
Although you can use other types of brushes or even entire sets to complement it, you can do just fine without.
Though this set is pretty similar to number 6 on the list in its uses and capacity, it’s significantly cheaper at below half the price.
It, likewise, has very identical compatibility parameters to the aforementioned, working with Procreate 4 and higher .
It works well too with a variety of stylus and both iPad Pro and standard.
A slight advantage it has over the Beat Tones set is that it has a couple of additional linework brushes .

This set is no less than amazing for vintage and retro comics, analog drawings, and abstract art in general.
The combination of 40 precision stipple brushes comes in a variety of round, rough, bleedy, and blotty tips.
All brushed with a notable degree of fluidity that allows you to create complete drawings with perfect layers, shading, texture, and depth.
With over two dozen spray and tonal stipple-fill brushes, it will enable you to cover large areas quickly.
You can do this while remaining in control of the color gradient and layer texture.

This is especially for those looking to create authentic-looking classic pieces, especially noting its highly affordable retail price.
This set is compatible with multiple versions of Procreate, both iPad Pro and standard, various styluses, and photoshop as well.

8. The Polka Dot Pattern Set
Another highly useful brush set is the Polka Dot Pattern set, created by Starstruck Design Co.
This set comes with only eight brushes but makes up for it with a vast range of control over them.
This set primarily acts as a complementary set.
This is because it’s more focused on playing with the background noise of the drawing rather than being the main focus of it.
It’s quite helpful in giving your picture a lively touch, allowing the main focus to pop pleasantly.
Unlike other sets on this list, this one is more oriented towards users interested in creating glittery journals, calendars, catalogs, and others.
However, it can be used on the background for almost any type of drawing with satisfactory results.
It is, however, in my belief, still a good investment as it’s incredibly cheap to obtain at only 2.1 USD.
It can be used with almost any type of drawing regardless of genre or niche.
Furthermore, it’s compatible with multiple versions of Procreate (based on customer reports).
Pros:
- Easy to install and use

As with Georg’s megapack, you can do a lot with this one as well from background, focus, texture, shading, and tinting, you name it, it has it.
It is slightly more expensive than the others, selling at 80 USD.
