Free Procreate Brush: DND Ombré Bleed
After countless hours of work, I released this bundle of DND Procreate Brushes last year. I wanted the brushes to emulate my favorite “real life” lettering pens and tools, and all of the brushes were designed with lettering artists (and aspiring lettering artists) in mind.
Today, I’m sharing a free procreate brush from the bundle with you! First, I’m going to tell you about the DND Ombré Bleed Brush (and the rest of the bundle). The free download is near the end of the post.

The DND Procreate Bundle
This pack includes 10 Custom Procreate Brushes (samples are shown above and below):
- DND Monoline. Because no brush set is complete without a good monoline brush.
- DND Painted. This was the main brush used to create the painted style lettering I did for the hero image for the bundle.
- DND Brush Marker. Inspired by the Tombow Dual Tip Markers.
- DND Ombré Bleed. Inspired by my well-loved and frayed Tombow Dual Tips.
- DND Basic Brush. My go-to brush. It’s ideal for designing hand-lettered SVG Cut Files because it’s smooth and easily cuttable!
- DND Fude. Inspired by the Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen.
- DND Chalky Brush. Chalky with lots of texture in a brush calligraphy friendly style.
- DND Chalky Bold. For when you want a bolder chalk calligraphy style.
- DND Pencil Calligraphy. I start all my lettering projects in pencil and prefer to do it with a calligraphy style pencil.
- DND Water Brush. I use this brush to create all kinds of watercolor style lettering.
