The Complete Collection for Affinity

What a great set of tools to handle anything retro! The paper with editable texture and ink fades make it easy to get vintage vibes right from the start. The pencils, inks, and half-tones feel natural recreate the feel of old school printed art. I'm looking forward to exploring the Risotone effects for new ways to expand my illustrations. This set makes working digital exciting again!

This collection is massive!

I was really impressed by the lengths they went to to get the Risograph brushes correct - analog sources from actual printers. The brushes are amazing and super fun to work with. Tons of paper textures in here. A big collection of inking brushes that have a fantastic look to them. Many color palates as well.

Really great visual documentation for all of the brushes and tutorials for Risograph etc are included too, which is nice for scatterbrained people like me who forget what is what. I’ve imported all of mine into IBooks in its own category for easy reference on my iPad. I do wish that the Complete Collection came with a single pdf file of the various brushes all in one document, as well as the separate ones, just so I could flip through all of the visual brush depictions in one pdf. In any case, they’re super helpful guides.

I’m really happy with my purschase and have been enjoying the YouTube tutorials as well.

Overall v pleased. Could do with better instructions on how to use with Fresco.
