Highlights
What is Hejbrush?
Hejbrush is a collection of handmade brush sets for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Procreate. Every brush is built from scanned analog media (real markers, pastels, pencils, watercolours, and ink) for strokes that look and feel hand-drawn. The library spans eleven brush sets, plus 100 composition guides for framing your work. All sets are one-time purchases, no subscription. Created by Eilert Janssen, an illustrator and designer based in Berlin, Germany.

Frequently asked questions
Do the brushes work in both Photoshop and Illustrator?
The brush sets are platform-specific. Photoshop sets (.abr) work in Photoshop CC and later. Illustrator sets (.ai) work in Illustrator CC and later. Each product page states which app it supports. The 'All Brushes Ever' bundles are per-platform.
What is included in the 100 Composition Guides?
100 transparent overlay templates based on classic composition principles: rule of thirds, golden ratio, dynamic symmetry, and more. They work as layers on top of any canvas in Photoshop, Illustrator, or Procreate.
Are the brushes compatible with Procreate?
Only the Perspective set is currently available for Procreate. The marker, ink, paint, and pencil sets are Photoshop- or Illustrator-only.
Is it a one-time purchase or a subscription?
One-time purchase, always. Every brush set is a single payment with no recurring fees. You keep the brushes forever and receive any updates to that set.
Are the brushes made from real media?
Yes. Every brush texture is scanned from physical markers, pencils, pastels, or watercolour strokes. No procedural generation. Each stroke has the grain and irregularity of the real medium.
Can I use the brushes for commercial work?
Yes. All brush sets include a commercial-use license. You can use them in client work, prints, merchandise, and published illustrations without additional fees.

15 Illustrator Add-ons That Will Blow Your Mind
Brushes for Photoshop that are genuinely extraordinary!
Although we don’t necessarily approve of ditching analog sketching altogether in favor of an all-digital workflow here on SolidSmack, it doesn’t hurt to know what’s available for your digital toolkit when the time and need arises.
A freelance illustrator from Berlin has built a brush set for digital art that imitates analog markers perfectly.
There is a huge variety of Photoshop brushes. Yet very few manage to render brush strokes as realistic as those you get from real brushes, pencils and markers.
Big thanks to Eilert Janßen for this freebie.
