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.

    Pretty surprised by the quality.

    I heard the products were good and they really are.

    I used a few cheap other brands but as soon as I applied the Retro Supplies phantom paper the quality was plain to see. Very happy customer.

    I wish I'd bought this years ago.

    I've been illustrating exclusively in vectors for more than 25 years. These paper textures finally give my poster work the texture I always wished to achieve.

    Love the textures wish there was an easier way to set up in CSP

    I'd been looking for a nice Hot Press watercolour texture to nail the look of ink illustration for my webcomic. I can confidently say, this paper texture pack scratched that itch and more! If you need flexible authentic feeling paper textures for replications of traditional media, choose this pack, it’ll have you completely covered ^^

    My only complaint is that I wish I could download the paper texture folder compositions as materials rather than CSP files. This is to save time installing them as materials manually, though I also get the intent for yourself to curate.

    I’ll 100% be using these for my comic when it comes out thank you so much!
