The Sketchbook Experience for Procreate

🎨 The ultimate digital sketchbook experience for Procreate!

Designed to replicate the charm of a real sketchbook, The Sketchbook Experience takes full advantage of Procreate’s Page Assist feature (introduced in version 5.2) to give you the most authentic traditional sketchbooking experience in the digital world.

Watch me use this tool and explain how it works in this video:

✨ What’s included

•  16 digital sketchbooks → 8 in A4 (large) and 8 in A5 (classic half-page), each with unique covers and paper textures.

•  Customizable covers → versions with or without stickers, plus the Manero Brushes sticker that can be shown or hidden independently.

•  53 sketchbook-focused brushes → pencils, inkers, markers, ink washes, splatters, and more.

•  29 real coffee stains + 4 graphite dirt sheets in PNG format you can add to your sketchbook pages → scanned from real materials for an extra layer of authenticity.

•  Stickers & planners → decorate covers with the included PNG stickers or add monthly calendars and weekly planners.

•  FREE updates → any future new brushes, stickers or planners will always be free to existing owners.

🚀 Featured: The All-Improved Manero Brushes has been updated (11/03/25)

•  New monochrome thumbnails: this set previously featured unique 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:

•  Reorganized brushes into clear categories for easier navigation.

•  Vertical Pencil Light/Medium/Strong brushes → the textures have been remade from scratch for a more natural result.

•  Added Apple Pencil Pro barrel roll compatibility on some brushes 🔄 (or azimuth on other Apple Pencils).

•  Minor tweaks for improved precision and performance.

ℹ️ Notes

•  Compatible with Procreate 5.2 and above.

•  The included digital stickers are for personal use only — not for commercial or printed products.

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