LaneDraws

Overview

LaneDraws is a collection of digital brushes, reference packs and art instruction for Photoshop and Procreate. It suits artists who want purpose-built tools for painting, drawing or inking, especially those who also value reference material. Its strongest case is the breadth of its Photoshop Master Pack and focused Procreate sets; the app and stylus requirements make compatibility worth checking before buying.

Key features

Lane’s Photoshop Master Pack combines three packs, with more than 350 painting and illustration brushes, more than 120 dry-media drawing brushes, more than 120 inking brushes, and over 30 smudge tools and erasers. It also includes 40-plus paper and canvas surfaces and 30 overlay textures. That range makes it the broadest single purchase for Photoshop artists in this lineup, but it requires Photoshop CC and a stylus with pressure and tilt sensitivity.

The Procreate options are more specialized. The Charcoal Master Pack has 44 brushes and tools for materials including vine, willow and conté charcoal, plus dust, compressed sticks, smudges and erasers. The Pastel Pro Pack includes 48 brushes and tools, 35 natural paper textures, a narrated eye demonstration and extra time-lapse videos and high-resolution images. Both packs include future updates, a useful advantage for buyers who expect the collections to evolve.

Beyond brushes, the Skulls and Bones pack supplies more than 1,850 reference images and a 40-minute skull-painting demonstration with audio. A free Anatomy of Light Chart is a simpler resource: a diagram labeling and defining the essential components of light on a sphere. Buyers can also email the maker after purchase; responses should be expected within a few days. Coaching consists of recorded feedback averaging 30–50 minutes, based on submitted artwork and questions.

Pricing

LaneDraws sells its paid packs as one-time purchases, rather than subscriptions. The free Anatomy of Light Chart is a low-commitment starting point, but it is a single high-resolution JPG, not a brush collection.

• Dirty Ink Brush Pack — 18.00 USD per once: More than 120 inking brushes for Photoshop CC. It is the lower-cost choice for Photoshop users focused on inking; it still requires a pressure- and tilt-sensitive stylus.
• The Painting Brush Pack — 22.00 USD per once: More than 350 painting and illustration brushes, 40 paper and canvas surfaces and 30 overlay textures for Photoshop CC. Choose it for painting without paying for the Master Pack’s additional drawing, inking and smudge tools.
• The Charcoal Master Pack — 22.00 USD per once: 44 brushes and tools for Procreate 5+. Its focused material range suits charcoal work, but it is not a broad multi-medium set.
• The Pastel Pro Pack — 24.00 USD per once: 48 brushes and tools, 35 natural paper textures and accompanying demonstrations and imagery for Procreate 5+. It costs slightly more than the charcoal pack and adds textures and learning material for pastel-focused artists.
• Lane’s Photoshop Master Pack — 44.00 USD per once: More than 600 brushes and tools, 40-plus paper and canvas surfaces and 30 overlay textures for Photoshop CC. It is the strongest fit for Photoshop artists who want painting, drawing and inking tools together; it is unnecessary if only one discipline matters.

LaneDraws states that commercial use is allowed and encouraged for the Master Pack, and its commercial license scope supports buyers seeking commercial-use brushes. The listed prices are one-time purchases; there is no recurring term to weigh against the upfront cost.

Platforms

LaneDraws is presented across iOS, macOS, web and Windows, but its brush packs target specific apps: Adobe Photoshop and Procreate. Photoshop packs require Photoshop CC, while the Charcoal and Pastel Pro packs require Procreate 5 or later. The Photoshop packs also require a stylus with pressure and tilt sensitivity. Brush files use ABR and Brushset formats and are delivered as downloads. Check the app and device combination before purchasing; a platform listing alone does not make every pack compatible with every setup.

Who it's for

Choose LaneDraws if you already use Photoshop or Procreate and want brushes tailored to a particular medium, or if reference images and instructional material are part of your art workflow. Photoshop artists gain the most from the Master Pack when they need several disciplines in one collection. Procreate artists are better served by the charcoal or pastel set that matches their work. It is a weaker fit for anyone seeking a general-purpose drawing application, or for Photoshop users without the required CC version and pressure- and tilt-sensitive stylus.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The Photoshop Master Pack spans painting, dry-media drawing, inking and finishing tools, reducing the need to buy separate LaneDraws collections.
• Pro: The Procreate packs pair medium-specific tools with textures or demonstrations, and both include future updates.
• Pro: Commercial use is allowed and encouraged for the Photoshop Master Pack, making it suitable for artists creating work commercially.
• Con: Photoshop packs depend on Photoshop CC and a stylus with pressure and tilt sensitivity, so they are a poor fit for incompatible setups.
• Con: The Procreate collections are narrowly focused on charcoal or pastel rather than covering multiple art disciplines.
• Con: The free chart is a single diagram, not a way to try the paid brush collections.

Alternatives

Browse Digital Brush Libraries for a category-wide comparison. Consider Brusher instead if starter brush packs and a free tier matter more than LaneDraws’ medium-focused collections; its premium collections unlock through a 4.99 USD per month plan billed weekly.

Frankentoon Studio is another Procreate-oriented alternative, with a free 10-brush starter pack and a 12.00 USD one-time Sketch Kit. Choose Krita instead if you want free, open-source software rather than paid brush packs; it has no subscriptions or trials.

Bardot Brush offers another selection of Procreate brush sets. For a broad Procreate collection, RetroSupply Co. sells its Complete Collection for 197.00 USD once; it covers current Procreate products, excludes fonts and does not automatically include future products.

True Grit Texture Supply is worth considering for a specific texture purchase: its 12.00 USD Photoshop and Illustrator set includes 37 textures and stamp brushes as an instant download. For a web-based library with subscription downloads, Brusheezy offers five downloads for 9.00 USD per month; unused downloads do not roll over, and the subscription license is for one user.

BrushProcreate is another paid option for Procreate brush sets, with individual sets priced at 2.99 USD each and a 1,460-brush bundle at 9.99 USD.

Verdict

LaneDraws is a strong choice for Photoshop and Procreate artists who want focused brush collections, with the Photoshop Master Pack standing out for its breadth and the Procreate packs for their medium-specific tools and extras. Choose it when those collections match your app and workflow; look elsewhere if you need a general art app, a free brush library or tools that do not depend on Photoshop CC or Procreate 5+.
