See a dragon in the clouds? Pause the sky and draw what you imagine. Cloud Gaze is a quiet place to sketch, doodle, and watch the clouds drift by. Find a face, trace a creature, or follow a shape wherever it takes you. MAKE THE SKY YOUR CANVAS Draw with your finger on iPhone or iPad, or use Apple Pencil on a compatible iPad. Choose your colors, adjust the sky's speed and direction, and move around your canvas with two fingers. Settle into a calm moment or let your imagination wander. SHARE A LITTLE WONDER Turn your drawing into a still image or an animated video. Choose the framing and timing, preview the result, and share it with friends. KEEP CREATING Save your favorites in your drawing library. Share an editable CloudGaze drawing through AirDrop, Messages, or Files, then open it in Cloud Gaze to keep drawing. DRAW TOGETHER Join friends and family over FaceTime SharePlay. Pick an animal avatar and see what everyone imagines in the same clouds. FIND YOUR FAVORITE BACKGROUND Start with two free backgrounds: Spring Afternoon and Mist at Dusk. Cloud Gaze Pro unlocks the premium background collection: Peachy Daydreams, Watercolor Wash, Graphite Drift, Wandering Nebula, and Dot Matrix. Choose monthly or yearly billing for the same premium background collection. Drawing, saving, image and video sharing, editable drawing files, SharePlay, and sky controls are available for free.

No unzipping, no Files app, no dragging brushes around. For artists at every level. WHY BRUSHKIT - 6,870+ brushes — handmade by artists across 15 styles: watercolour, inking, painting, texture, lettering, tattoo shading, stamps, and more. - Three taps, done — find a brush and BrushKit imports it into Procreate's brush library for you. - New packs every Thursday — Premium unlocks each one the moment it lands. - Your library, saved for good — delete a brush from Procreate and one tap brings it back. - Built for iPad — an iPadOS 26 Liquid Glass interface that stays out of the way while you draw. FREE AND PREMIUM Free gives you a full working set to draw with from the start. Premium opens the entire 6,427+ library and every Thursday drop. NEW PACKS EVERY THURSDAY Every Thursday, a new pack lands. Sometimes it's a collaboration with a Procreate artist you already follow. Sometimes it's a deep dive into a single medium — thirty takes on the same pencil, each with its own weight and pressure. One drop a week. Enough to stay interesting, never enough to become noise. A NOTE ON WHAT BRUSHKIT IS BrushKit is a brush library for Procreate, not a drawing app. It gives you the brushes — you make the art in Procreate. PLANS Premium is available as a Weekly, Monthly, or Annual subscription. Cancel anytime. Payment is charged to your Apple ID upon purchase confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Made by people who draw.
