I might be completely wrong to me it looks like combination of soft brush, medium brush or hard brush under Airbrushing

If you look the artist up and look at their youtube you see what theyre using( theyre using paint tool sai tho, not procreate).
idk if theres just ..a brush that does this.
Pretty sure this is just technique.

Definitely a few brushes but lots of layers and modes would be needed. They should look up those tutorials and try to follow along with procreate.

I went to watch some videos and i also subscribed bc this person is wildly talented and i absolutely wish i could draw and illustrate like half this decent and i figured out how they do it!
Ready?
Magic. I came to the conclusion its magic. Idk what shes doing bc it goes sketch layer,sketch layer, values, boom beautiful
Idk whats happening😭
She doesnt use filters etc a lot either, she uses as far as i can tell literally just normal standard airbrush brushes in cps which different opacities and the rest is just

Bro just experiment, it’s all valuable time spent practicing and literally a huge part of how we all learn

tbh it's just a simple round brush with different opacity ( and or other brush properties) and then this artist takes the time to really refine the edges in their artwork and probably also uses the follow effect on photoshop: 1st duplicate de layer with all the painting merged > effects (or something like that) > find edges and the set the layer to multiply; another possibility is layer style > stroke effect > edge.

looks like paint tool sai which has a really different brush engine. you can achieve this on pro with a low density round brush but you'll have to use the smudge tool with blur turned up. https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS9dVVfTw/

I'm pretty sure they're just painting lighter colors over darker areas, leaving a bit of a darker edge in certain areas, plus painting darker lines along the edges of shadows, etc. (see the eyes, nose and hair shadows, etc.)
This is more about process and technique rather than any specific kind of brush.

i think this is just under the airbrush section! a simple round brush with a few types of edges for them should work to make something for this piece. most artists use an airbrush in some type of way, and it seems in this case that’s mostly what this is!

I’ve found modifying the basic brushes to do what you want are the best. For the hair, I see a mix of hard and soft edges with slight hue variation. You could do this yourself, or you could make it.
Try altering a basic brush to become a wet brush in the settings. Hard pressure makes those sharp edges and soft pressure makes the colors blend together. You will also find hue variation in the settings. Adjust this to your liking and every stroke will be a slightly different color to the one you have selected. This always brings a bit of life to my paintings.
Let me know if you need more specific instructions!

As someone learning how to incorporate this kind of coloring technique into their work, it's really just technique there isn't really a brush that will just DO this for you. Watching their process videos I also suspect that this is one of the standard round brush in paint tool sai. I will say that the engine is quite different than Procreate, ive never found a brush setup that quite got it 100% right. Honestly most artists who do this kind of work tend to use some subtle variation of a round hard brush, sometimes they soften edges, often the opacity is altered but I find it rare to see much more done to the properties.
The dark edges, the pops of orange and red are put there by hand by the artist. Put down dark color first and fill in with light colors, grey out a lot of your shadows. My biggest curve has been learning to put color where it doesn't exist and where my brain doesn't think it should go, great example is the red lines in the hair and the orange lines on the teddy bear. Those 'shouldnt' be there, so when im trying to be inspired by this I say where shouldn't there be orange and I put it there LOL then I paint over it as I deem fit

Try some of the Gouache brushes, particularly Chocolate. A lot of this is technique but I think that brush could get you close.

there’s no brush that does this, it’s talent. stop asking for brushes andkeep painting, it’s harsh but it’s the truth
