Essential Shading Illustrator Brushes

We've had it with flat illustrations. Enough with the bland, colorless shapes that look like they're on life support. Solution? Get some serious shaders and take flat design to the next level, where shadows, gradients, and depth actually exist.

Meet the "Essential" collection — because, let's be honest, without these 8 Illustrator brushes, you're not living your best design life. They'll help you blend colors, soften edges, and smoothly transition from light to dark like a pro. Plus, there's a bonus paper texture. You might be working on character art or landscapes or just need to spice up a dull project, and these brushes will have your back.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Illustrator. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
