The subtle grain of analog film photography, the coarse texture of high-ISO shots, and even the digital noise of early sensors all contribute visual interest and nostalgic warmth that perfectly clean digital work often lacks. This collection brings authentic grain and noise textures to your Procreate workflow.
The fine film grain textures replicate the characteristic grain structure of popular analog film stocks like Kodak Portra, Tri-X, and Ilford HP5. These subtle textures add just enough visual interest without overwhelming your artwork—perfect for portrait work, editorial illustration, and any project that benefits from a hint of analog authenticity. The coarse grain textures simulate high-ISO film or push-processed shots, delivering that gritty, dramatic quality perfect for moody photographs and cinematic illustrations.
Digital noise patterns capture the unique grain structure of early digital camera sensors, adding a different flavor of texture that works beautifully for contemporary vintage aesthetics. The halftone grain textures replicate the dot patterns of newspaper and magazine printing, ideal for pop art, retro advertising aesthetics, and editorial design. And the color noise texture adds subtle chromatic aberration grain that mimics the way real camera lenses and film stocks handle color.
Using grain and noise textures is simple yet transformative—create your artwork as normal, then add a grain layer on top using overlay or soft light blend mode at low opacity. The result is artwork with added depth, atmosphere, and visual interest. Whether you're creating moody portraits, cinematic landscapes, or vintage-inspired designs, these noise and grain brushes add essential character and warmth.
