How to Organize Procreate Brushes

If you're like me and have a TON of brushes for Procreate (I like trying things out OK?), organization can be become really tricky. I often get asked how I organize my brushes, so buckle up for a super quick and easy tutorial on how to do just that.

To avoid chaos when you open up your brushes and get ready to work in Procreate,  we're going to separate them with "dividers" to make everything easy to view and find.

Step 1: Create an empty brush folder

Until Procreate finally gives us folders in folders, we're going to have to do a bit of a workaround here. First, create an empty brush folder (click + on the top of your brush panel). I love adding the folder emoji  📂 to create a visual representation of a folder. 
 
Now, while I organize by the creator of the brushes, you can decide to organize your brushes by type or even how often you use them. Go with the option that will make your workflow quicker!

Step 2: Drag and drop the brushes to organize!

Now that your folders are set up, simply just drag and drop the brush SETS underneath the empty brush set you just created in the order of your preference. 
 
Depending on the amount of brushes you have, this process might take a while 😅 but I guarantee you'll be happy to have done it. You will instantly notice how much easier it is to work in Procreate when you can easily find all of your favorite brushes.

Bonus tip for brush creators

For those of you that create your own brushes (or maybe you want to start creating them), I have another neat trick for you. Consider it a surprise bonus. 

When I make a new set of brushes, I always add a cute little pigeon 🐦 emoji at the start so that I can see them easily. And to keep the brushes within the set organized, I set up a stamp and use it as a divider to separate brushes that fall into the same category.
