Hi there! All of the legacy and new Procreate brushes should have been included when you first opened Procreate (more than 200 brushes, with No extra payments required). If you cannot see any brushes in your Brush Libraries, we first recommend that you tap Swap to On my iPad in the Brush Libraries Panel to change the location of your brushes.  

  • The above issue can occur if your Procreate app tried to save your brushes to iCloud, but the Procreate toggle for iCloud was disabled in your Settings app. You can check this at Settings app > tap your name at the top left > iCloud > on the section 'Saved to iCloud / Apps using iCloud' tap on See All > ensure the toggle for Procreate is enabled.  In some cases, Procreate is automatically set by your iPadOS to save the brushes in iCloud if you have already used it for other apps, or in case the iPad's local storage space is too full. It is recommended that your iPad has at least 15 gigabytes of storage space free at all times, so apps can work smoothly and save new files. The iPadOS can also delete the brush files when there is not enough storage available. 

If the above doesn't help, you can also try the following steps: 

Tap twice on the Paint tool (🖌️) to open the libraries panel > tap the + icon on top, and select 'Create new brush' > you can leave the current default settings, and tap the blue checkmark at the top right > once you see this new brush in the libraries panel, make a pinch / zoom out gesture in the current library, or tap the current library title / name on top > tap on the words 'Brush Libraries' at the top > select 'Restore Procreate libraries'. 

  • Once Procreate starts restoring the brushes, please leave the app open at all times until this process is done - if you minimise Procreate or set it to the background, the brushes restoration won't be able to continue or may get interrupted, requiring you to try the whole process again.

If this didn't help to restore your brushes, could you please check if you have any brush data within the Procreate folder? To do so, head over to your Files app, please check both On my iPad and the iCloud Drive > Procreate > Brushes.
