The Complete Collection for Affinity

I have really enjoyed using the grave etcher along with some of the paper textures, its such a step up from the free ones that I have used in the past. Im going to take the time to really learn how to get the most out of each of the sets.

I'm starting the switch, so I bought the entire Photoshop pack to get my RSCO brushes on the correct format. I love 'em in Procreate, and I love 'em in Fresco. The halftones don't quiiiiiite work the same way, but the brushes are perfection.

These assets have become indispensable to my workflow. The color and texture tools are top notch!

I’ve been using cheap brushes from Etsy and I’ve been using the stock brushes from Procreate for the entire time that I’ve been drawing. As something of a treat to myself I planned on buying some nice brushes from retro supply. I really like the way they looked and a few people I watch have recommended them. I couldn’t decide which pack, to take away that agonising consideration, the bundle seemed to solve it. I spent more money than I initially intended but probably won’t have to buy more brushes for a very long time if ever. Once I downloaded everything it took me a little while to organise it and import them into Procreate. I kept a backup of my downloads on my iPad so if ever I lose them from Procreate, I can reimport them, but retro supply so allow me to re-download from my account page. I have no regrets about spending this on my artistic hobby. It felt like the right thing to do and I really do think it was very fairly priced.

I have to say all of the brushes I’ve tried so far has been a lovely quality. The standard pen pack on its own feels like it was worth the purchase but the colour lab has been an exciting adventure that I didn’t expect. The infernal ink pack contains some brushes that I found instantly useful. And the paper comes with has been a wonderful backdrop to my images.

Having grown up in the closing days of analog, there was always something that appealed to me about it. Digital was just far too "clean". One thing that I have found with this set is that it really has helped capture that feeling like it was. It seems like the pages, the world was lived in. The difference between original Star Wars and the prequels. The Wild Bunch versus Maverick. For those that want to bring back the visceral impacted of how colors were used, this set will help you get there, with the advantages of layers.
