Shimmering Glitter Effects Procreate Brushes (Free)
$0.00
I found a delightful set of pressure-sensitive shimmer brushes that lay down jewel-like speckles and ribboned gleam — perfect for quick highlights, lettering accents, and luxe details. Curated by Brushonic — this is the free 8-brush sampler (full 33-brush pack available).
Description
A Curated Gem for Decorative Effects & Lettering Accents
I spotted this pack because it does one thing very well: it turns ordinary strokes into metallic, glittering highlights that read as tactile on screen. RKKRArt’s set is clearly built for artists who want to add sparkle without fiddly overlays — from crisp lettering shines to subtle cosmetic highlights, these brushes make details sing.
First Impressions: The Feel & Texture
The previews show tiny, reflective particles and broader “ribbon” strokes that catch light differently — there’s a distinct dual-texture language here: a fine particulate shimmer (think micro-glitter) and a smooth, glossy gel/ribbon sheen. Strokes feel responsive — many brushes are pressure-sensitive — so light pressure yields whispery speckles and firm pressure produces dense, reflective ribbons. The result reads like a mix of loose glitter sprinkled over glossy enamel: playful but controlled.
Where This Brush Set Shines
- Adding metallic/glitter accents to hand-lettered headers and logos.
- Cosmetic and beauty illustrations — lashes, highlighter, lip gloss details.
- Decorative elements for greeting cards, stickers, and social media assets.
- Galaxy or magical effects for environment pieces (stars, fairy dust).
- UI/icon polish — tiny reflective details that lift flat shapes.
- Quick texture layering: sprinkle, smear, or ribbon in one pass.
