Free paper textures and brush tips

27 paper grains and 42 brush tips, the same ones Rindraw's own brushes paint with, free for anything you make. They're grayscale PNGs, white where paint goes, so they work as shapes and grains in Procreate, Photoshop and most painting apps.

CC0: free for commercial work, no credit needed. Papers tile seamlessly. Released November 2, 2026.

27 paper grains

Each paper repeats without a seam. Most are 512 pixels a side; the fine ones pencils and charcoal draw on (sketch, laid and grit) are 1024. Use them as a brush's grain, or as an overlay layer.

42 brush tips

Each tip is 512 pixels a side, centered, fading to black at the edge: pencils, charcoal, bristles, sponges, spatter, and shapes such as stars, leaves and snowflakes for stamp brushes.

Using them in Procreate

Duplicate a brush you like first, so the original stays as it was, then open the copy in Brush Studio.

  1. A tip: go to Shape, tap Edit at the top right of the preview, then Import, and choose a file from the tips folder.
  2. A paper: go to Grain, tap Edit, then Import, and choose a file from the papers folder.
  3. Tap Done, and draw on the Drawing Pad to try it.

If the grain comes out the wrong way round, two-finger tap the texture in the Grain Editor to invert it. Grain Scale in the Grain settings sets how big the paper lies on the canvas.

Using them in Photoshop

Photoshop paints where a brush tip is dark, so invert a tip first: open it, choose Image › Adjustments › Invert, then Edit › Define Brush Preset. For a paper, open it and choose Edit › Define Pattern, then pick that pattern under Texture in the Brush Settings panel.

License

We made these from seeded noise for Rindraw, and we've waived all rights to them under CC0 1.0. Use them in your art, your brushes and your products, paid or free, and pass them on. A link back to this page is appreciated but never required.

In Rindraw

Rindraw's built-in brushes already use every one of these, so there's nothing to install. Rindraw also opens Procreate brushes, so a brush you make with them in Procreate comes across with its shape and grain.

Questions

Can I use these textures commercially?

Yes. They're CC0, so you can use them in any work, commercial or not, and sell or share brushes made with them. No credit is needed.

How do I add a texture to a Procreate brush?

In Brush Studio, go to Shape or Grain, tap Edit, then Import, and choose the PNG.

Do the paper textures tile seamlessly?

Yes. Each paper's edges meet, so it repeats across the canvas without a visible seam.
