Challenge of the Month 2022 Compilation Brush Set for Procreate

The Manero Brushes Challenge of the Month is an art challenge where I provide a new art prompt, Procreate brush, and color palette every month! The challenge is to create something based on the given art prompt using only the provided brush and color palette.

These assets are always FREE to download during the month they’re available. However, until now, after a month passed, they were replaced by the next month’s challenge and freebies. If you missed any, there was no way to get them anymore. This gave the monthly challenge and freebies a sense of exclusivity, rewarding those who took the time to collect the assets each month and participate in the challenges.

Due to popular demand, I’m launching a yearly compilation brush set, which will collect all 12 art prompts, brushes, and color palettes. This is available for purchase, catering to those who may have missed any of them in the past. This approach maintains the exclusivity of the freebies (you can still get them for free if you download them each month on time), but also provides an opportunity to acquire them at a price by the end of the year when the compilation set is released.

The 2022 Compilation Set contains the following art prompts, brushes and color palettes:

With very few exceptions, I always post a video on my YouTube channel explaining each challenge and showing my process on how I did my own take. You can see all the videos I've made for the challenges in this playlist (it includes all of them, not only the ones for 2022):

Feel free to participate on any of these past challenges and post your art on social media using the hashtags #MANEROBRUSHES and #MANEROCHALLENGE! Also don't forget to tag me so I can see your creations! (And feel free to include the official image for the specific challenge in your post).

I can't wait to see what you will create! 😊✨

🚀 Featured: The All-Improved Manero Brushes has been updated (11/10/24)

•  New monochrome thumbnails: this set previously featured full-color thumbnails. Unfortunately, with Procreate 5.4 this is no longer possible, so all thumbnails have been carefully redesigned for clear readability in black & white/greyscale.

The previous version of this update also added the following improvements:

•  Support for Apple Pencil Pro barrel roll 🔄 on some of the brushes (they work with azimuth on other Apple Pencils).

•  Brushes that use Color Dynamics now have a 🌈 symbol in their names.

•  Minor tweaks and improvements.

ℹ️ Notes

•  Compatible with Procreate 5.4 and above.

•  If you enjoy this brush set, please consider leaving a rating — it helps a lot!
