TsaoShin Full Brush Set

TsaoShin Full Brush Set is a free download of more than 100 digital painting brushes, supplied as an ABR pack with transparent PNG brush tips. It is best suited to artists already using Photoshop CC, Procreate, or Clip Studio Paint who want a broad, creator-used collection without paying. The main decision is whether importing an ABR file fits your preferred app and workflow.

Overview

The collection gathers the brushes TsaoShin uses for their own artwork, giving it a practical, general-purpose orientation rather than a single narrow effect. More than 100 brushes can cover varied digital-painting tasks and provide room to develop a personal toolkit, though a large library also means more choices to sort through than a small starter set.

Delivery is a download, and the purchase price is zero. Donations are appreciated but not required, so there is no financial barrier to trying the pack. Gumroad shows a 4.9 rating from 127 ratings, a strong reception signal, although ratings cannot predict whether the brush response suits your technique. YouTube tutorials on using the brushes and other digital-painting methods add learning support, while Instagram and TikTok process demonstrations offer visual examples of the maker’s approach.

Key features

Broad digital-painting library

With 100-plus brushes, this is a substantial starting palette for artists who want variety in one download. It makes more sense for users building a reusable painting setup than for someone seeking only a single pencil, ink, or texture.

Cross-application support

The maker states that the brushes work in Photoshop CC, Procreate, and Clip Studio Paint. That range is useful when you move between desktop and tablet applications, but it does not make the pack app-agnostic: your software still needs a compatible import route.

ABR and transparent PNG files

The main pack is a Photoshop ABR file. ABR is a natural fit for Photoshop CC, and the supplied instructions explain how to import it into Clip Studio Paint and Procreate. The extra transparent PNG brush-tip files preserve the tip artwork for workflows that use image-based brush assets or custom brush construction. Users who prefer native, app-specific brush formats may find the ABR-centered setup less direct.

Pricing

There is one free plan, with no trial period because the download is already free. Donations are optional rather than a condition of access. The plan is a good fit for artists who want a sizeable brush library at no cost; it offers no paid tier or alternate format package for users who need a different setup.

Platforms

The directory lists iOS, macOS, and Windows. The supported creative applications are Photoshop CC, Procreate, and Clip Studio Paint, with importing instructions for the ABR pack in the latter two. Check that your device and app combination can import ABR files before downloading.

Who it's for

This set suits digital painters who already use one of the three named applications and value breadth, free access, and transparent brush-tip assets. It is also useful for learners who want to follow the maker’s tutorials while exploring a larger collection. It is a weaker fit if you want a tightly curated specialty pack, a native format for another application, or a setup with no import step.

Pros and cons

• Pros: More than 100 brushes provide meaningful range for a free pack.
• Pros: Photoshop CC, Procreate, and Clip Studio Paint support covers common desktop and tablet workflows.
• Pros: Transparent PNG brush tips add reusable source assets beyond the ABR library.
• Pros: Optional donations keep the download free, while tutorials and process videos can help with adoption.
• Cons: The main download is ABR, so Clip Studio Paint and Procreate users must follow import instructions.
• Cons: The collection’s size may be excessive if you need only a small, highly focused set.

Verdict

Choose TsaoShin Full Brush Set if you use Photoshop CC, Procreate, or Clip Studio Paint and want a substantial free library with both ABR brushes and transparent PNG tips. Its breadth, zero price, and instructional extras make it an easy low-risk addition; look elsewhere if your app needs native formats, you want a narrowly specialized pack, or importing ABR files is inconvenient.
