    Amazing and full of Vintage Fun!

    These and all the other brushes I’ve bought from this place have been wonderful! I never thought I could achieve a vintage comic book look for my art, but these brushes made it possible! And such a great cost too!

    So much fun!

    I have tried *many* halftone processes for Procreate (overlays, filters, etc.) and this was the first one that made me go WHOA. It was so fun to see the digital artwork transform into a classic printed comic. Plus I'm a total nerd about printing processes so the color charts and rootedness in printing history are just lovely. The process of switching colors/brushes/layers multiple times for each color was a bit cumbersome, but got smoother with practice and was totally worth it. I did the piece uploaded here using the solid color palettes first, per the included tutorial. Also came back to get the Duplitone set (also awesome) to finish off the shading. Great user guides, great product--highly recommend. :)

    Authentic, nostalgic, and worth it!

    I have been laying my eyes on this brush set for quite some time. And now that I have claimed it, used it on single-panel strips, I can say it’s totally worth the price! The paper textures add so much spice to these brushes and the color charts were spot on! I really can’t wait to go farther and create retro versions of comics of our properties! My only nitpick is that I did not receive any tutorial links.
