Looking for the Procreate bundle?

Get all 3 volumes of Paper Boy in one complete bundle and save!

Made for the professional creative — these comic book paper textures let you illustrate in Procreate and, like magic, your work will take on the look of vintage comic book printing!

These aren't just JPG's you overlay on your work — they're carefully crafted templates with nuanced texture and aging.

And the best part? The template does almost all the work! Seriously, if you can adjust a few sliders in Procreate, you can get these effects. 

Which brings me to another great thing about this pack. You can control the intensity of the paper, the ink, and the textures with ease. So you can make the effect as intense or subtle as you wish. 

Plus, your art is separated from the effects so you can easily try your art out on any of the eight paper textures or turn the textures off completely!

What You Get

This comic book effect is one of the simplest packs we've ever produced. Just download the paper textures, browse the simple instructions (less than 100 words), and you're off!

  • Instant Downloads. As soon as you complete your purchase your product is added to your RetroSupply Account area and we email you a link to download the three volumes immediately.

  • 24 high-resolution comic paper textures. Designed to make your final art look like the original source material. Includes versions of the paper textures for both the 9.7 inch and 10.5 inch iPad models.

  • Simple instructions. PDF instructions with just four-steps simply diagramed so you'll understand how to use the effect like a pro almost instantly.

    Paper Boy Texture Bundle — Real Paper Feel, Zero Fuss. Photoshop Magic, Minus the Fake

    You ever whip up some digital art and just wish it had that lived-in, gritty, straight-off-the-press vibe? Like, not that cheesy “digital paper” filter, but something that actually tricks your eyeballs? That’s what this bundle nails. The scans? Legit. You can see the little fibers, the wonky edges, the kinda grain you get from actual sketchbook pages. No “oh, clearly a computer did this” feeling. Honestly, I just toss a texture in as a Smart Object, slap on Multiply or Soft Light at like 40-ish percent, maybe mess with Levels or Curves for a hot second, and bam—everything feels warmer. Richer. Suddenly, my design picks up this handmade energy that actually changes how I pick my colors. Weirdly inspiring.

    Whait i like the most is these textures play nice with Photoshop’s nondestructive stuff. Doesn’t matter if I’m doing a poster, fake packaging, custom lettering, whatever—these look killer and don’t force me into a corner. They aren’t all juiced up with fake effects, so you’re totally in control.

    Must-have paper mustiness

    I love this collection of papers. You can almost smell the must and mildew of the old comic collection. Super fun to make your artwork feel more authentic and real. Can't believe I waited so long to get it. Super easy to use and super fun.

    Good textures!!!

    I bought this bundle and I'm really pleased with quality. All 3 packages have their flavor and are really good and fun to apply and see how your designs go back in time like 70 years.

    The only thing you should know is that if you already have colorlab, do not buy the bundle and buy packs 2 and 3 only, as the Paper boy 1 comes with the color lab brush pack

    Old School Paper Textures from Retro Supply Co. Are Addictive!

    Be warned! If you get any of Retro Supply's vintage paper packs, and open one up in your design software, you're going to spend a heck of a lot time being inspired to create something awesome! For real, just adding a fairly basic paper texture to your canvas will open your mind in fantastic ways. They really are beautiful and very easy to use. You will not be disappointed.
