Procreate BangBang & Fudefude Brush Set – Versatile Square Brushes for Sketching, Coloring, and Character Details

When drawing characters in Procreate, there are brush sets that feel very "ready to work": you can open them and immediately sketch, line, color, render hair, add texture, and tweak details without switching between too many different brushes. The BangBang & Fudefude Procreate Brush Set in the image is exactly that type.

This is a brush group suitable for those who often draw anime, manga, fanart, original characters, or character illustrations on the iPad. The strength of this set lies in its versatility: there are square brushes for filling areas, sketching brushes for constructing forms, inking brushes for cleaning up lines, texture brushes for creating surfaces, and speckled and special brushes for adding decorative details.

If you like a streamlined character drawing workflow that still has enough material variety, this brush set is definitely worth trying.

Overview of the BangBang & Fudefude Procreate Brush Set

The brushes in the image are divided into several small groups, each serving a different step in the drawing process. Some brushes are noted for general sketching, sketching/inking, coloring, detailing, drawing folds, adding color details, creating texture, or even "doing everything."

The most noticeable feature is that many brushes in the set have a square or flat tip, creating broad, covering strokes with soft edges and a fairly solid feel. This type of brush is very suitable for coloring hair, fabric, large shadows, simple backgrounds, or light and dark areas on a character.

Additionally, the brush set also includes many fine-line brushes and textured brushes, helping artists handle small details like hair, eyes, clothing edges, accessories, highlights, and background patterns.

Art Style Suitable for This Brush Set

Based on the illustrations in the image, this brush set is very suitable for the modern anime style, especially the type of art featuring characters with brightly colored hair, large eyes, heavily folded clothing, soft lighting, and slightly dark backgrounds.

The characters in the images have white, pink, and blonde hair, blue or pink eyes, and clothing with fantasy, gothic, idol, or magical girl vibes. The colors are handled quite softly but not overly blurred. The hair areas have multiple light and shadow layers, the clothing has clearly defined folds, and the backgrounds include stars, particles, and small decorative effects.

This brush set is suitable for:

• Drawing anime characters.

• Drawing colored manga.

• Drawing fanart.

• Drawing original characters.

• Drawing avatars, stickers, thumbnails.

• Drawing fantasy or gothic characters.

• Practicing character design on the iPad.

• Coloring hair, skin, clothing, and accessories.

• Adding light texture to digital art pieces.

BangBang Group: Strong Square Area-Fill Brushes, Great for Coloring

In the image, the BangBang group stands out quite prominently with labels like BangBang!! ★1, BangBang!! ★2, BangBang!! ★3, along with notes like square brush, flat brush, and samples of broad area-filling strokes.

This is a group of brushes with wide strokes, high coverage, soft edges, and a fairly solid feel. When you drag the brush, it creates a large area with a slight light-to-dark transition, making it very suitable for filling backgrounds, coloring clothes, coloring hair, or creating large shadows.

The BangBang brush group can be used for:

• Coloring character backgrounds.

• Filling large shadows on hair.

• Creating light and shadow areas on clothes.

• Coloring the background behind the character.

• Quickly laying down base colors.

• Blocking in shapes before rendering.

• Creating square brush and flat brush effects.

• Setting the mood for the piece using large areas.

The nice thing about square brushes is that they don't make the artwork too soft like an airbrush. When used correctly, the color areas still have edges and a sense of volume. For character art, this is very important because if every area is too smooth, the piece can easily look flat.

When using BangBang, you should start with a large size to cover the main areas, then reduce the size to refine edges or accentuate some more detailed areas. This brush group is great for those who like a fast workflow with few layers but still want to maintain a hand-drawn feel.

Fudefude Group: Versatile Brushes for Both Inking and Coloring

The image clearly states Fudefude – versatile pen for both inking and coloring. This is the most noteworthy brush group if you want a single brush that can be used for multiple steps within the same piece.

Fudefude has a soft stroke, a tapered brush tip, a moderately thick stroke body, and the ability to create quite natural lines. These brushes can be used for sketching, light inking, small-area coloring, rendering hair, or adding details.

The strength of Fudefude is its flexibility. With this type of brush, you can do a quick sketch, clean up the lines, and then continue using the same brush to fill small areas or emphasize details. This makes the workflow more seamless, especially suitable for those who often draw quickly or prefer a natural drawing feel.

Fudefude is suitable for:

• Sketching characters.

• Inking hair, eyes, and faces.

• Coloring small details.

• Rendering hair strands.

• Drawing clothing folds.

• Emphasizing lines in important areas.

• Refining color edges after filling.

• Quickly testing ideas.

If you are new to this brush set, Fudefude should be one of the first brushes you try. It could become your main brush for the entire drawing process if it suits your hand.

Sketching Group: Common Sketching Brushes, Easy for Daily Use

One part of the image clearly marks general sketching/fun drawing, sketching/inking, and Fudefude speed pen for sketching. This is the brush group for the initial construction phase.

The sketching brushes in this set appear soft, slightly grainy, not overly clean, and have a natural jitter. This brush quality is quite suitable for sketching characters, as it prevents the lines from looking too mechanical.

When drawing characters, the sketching phase should prioritize comfort. You can use this group to construct:

• The head block.

• The face axis.

• The hairstyle.

• Shoulders, neck, torso.

• Arms and pose.

• The shape of clothing.

• The overall composition.

• Character expressions.

This sketching brush group is also suitable for daily practice. You can use them for 10–20 minute exercises, quick portrait sketches, pose drawings, or sketching character design ideas. Because the lines have a light texture, the sketch will look more natural compared to overly clean line brushes.

Inking and Auto-Inking Group

The image includes brushes like Auto Liner, Auto Liner 2, along with fine lines noted as easy-to-use fine lines. This group is for line art and final polishing.

The inking brushes in this set feel clean, stable, and easy to drag. Brushes like these are very suitable for handling areas that need high clarity, such as eyes, eyelashes, face outlines, front hair, ties, accessories, or clothing folds.

The inking brush group can be used for:

• Character line art.

• Hair outlines.

• Eyelashes and eyelids.

• Eyebrows.

• Mouth, nose, expressions.

• Clothing outlines.

• Ribbons.

• Small accessories.

• Fine line highlights.

When using auto-inking brushes, you should avoid making the lines too uniform. Vary the pen pressure and line thickness according to the area. Outer lines can be thicker, detail lines can be thinner, and hair lines should have a fast-slow rhythm to maintain naturalness.

Kraken Group and Solid Round Tip Brushes

The image has labels like Kraken – solid round tip pen 2 and Sea Monster – solid round tip pen 2. These can be considered solid round brushes, used for coloring, filling areas, or creating strokes with high opacity.

Solid round tip brushes are very useful when you need colors to go on clearly, without too much texture, and are easy to control at the edges. In character drawing, this group can be used for coloring skin, hair, eyes, clothes, or accessories.

Suitable applications:

• Filling base colors.

• Blocking in clear shadows.

• Creating clean color areas.

• Coloring small details.

• Making simple backgrounds.

• Refining color edges.

• Drawing decorative shapes.

Compared to the square BangBang brushes, Kraken feels rounder and softer. If BangBang is good for creating broad, flat areas, Kraken is more suitable when you need neat, full strokes that are easier to control in small areas.

Edge 2 Group: Creating Light and Shadow Areas with Soft Edges

The Edge 2 brush appears both in the brush panel and the demo. The brush stroke has a large body, soft color transitions, but still maintains a sense of clear edges in some sections. This type of brush is very suitable for creating light and shadow areas on hair, fabric, or backgrounds.

Edge 2 can be used for:

• Creating large shadows on hair.

• Coloring clothing folds.

• Making light and dark backgrounds.

• Blocking in character shapes.

• Applying rim lighting.

• Creating soft but not overly blurred effects.

In anime art, this type of brush is very useful for brightly colored hair. You can use it to lay down large shadow areas first, then use a fine brush to render hair strands and highlights. This method gives the hair volume without needing to draw too many confusing layers.

Triangle Pen Group and Thick Oil Painting Style Brushes

The image has labels like Thick Oil Painting Triangle Pen and Thick Oil Painting Style Triangle Pen. The demo strokes show that this brush has a flat shape, a slightly pointed tip, and creates relatively solid areas.

This brush group is suitable for areas that need a thicker feel or more defined texture. Although the overall set leans towards anime, a little bit of oil paint quality or thick areas helps prevent the artwork from looking too flat.

Triangle Pen can be used for:

• Clothing folds.

• Sharper hair shadows.

• Dark areas on costumes.

• Hard accessories.

• Area-style rim lighting.

• Fabric texture.

• Filling areas needing thickness.

This brush should be used selectively. If the entire piece is drawn with thick brushes, the soft anime style might become heavy. But if used on clothing folds, accessories, or a few large shadow areas, it will add texture to the artwork.

Folds Drawing Group: Assisting with Costumes and Fabric

One brush is directly labeled Draw Folds 2. This is a very useful group for character art featuring skirts, jackets, ribbons, collars, or multiple layers of fabric overlapping.

Folds are a part that many beginners find confusing. If you use a brush that is too soft, the fabric folds get blurred. If you use a brush that is too hard, the fabric looks like metal. A good fold-drawing brush should have moderately soft edges, a wide brush body, and the ability to create quick light-to-dark transitions.

The fold-drawing brush can be used for:
