This pack elevated my design work to a whole new level of professionalism. Everything I create now has a polish and finish that was missing before — clients notice, and so do I. The variety inside this pack is incredible; it's packed with useful tools, and best of all, it’s insanely easy to get started. What surprised me most was the inclusion of ColorLab. I expected assets — I didn’t expect a full-blown color theory masterclass. The tutorials alone are worth it, helping me understand and apply color in ways I never had before. My one tip? Don’t come in with a rigid agenda. Just open it up, draw, mess around, break things, rebuild, and explore. This toolkit rewards curiosity. Total game-changer.

I wanted to get into drawing anime more often, but the market and social media is saturated with the same style, plus I didn't want to experiment creating brushes just for me, I wanted a set of tools ready to use. Then, I found Retro Supply's tutorials on Youtube and actually commented on it and received a recommendation to buy the Comic Artist Toolkit. I bought it and it has been an amazing experience overall. I was even inspired to create my social media profiles for art, thanks both to the tools and the tutorials. I'm uploading the first piece I did with the toolkit.

I spent ages trying to nail my own brush specs in Procreate to get my halftone colouring to look on the page like it looks in my head.
When I found the Artist Toolkit, I figured it was worth a shot for ColorLab, which I had heard great things about. The tutorials on the RetroSupply YouTube page also made it really easy to jump in.
What I didn’t expect was to fall head over heels in love with Duplitone, and Phantom Paper. I’m obsessed with shading in Duplitone, and the preset percentage brushes make blending a breeze, and Phantom Paler makes everything pull together in a way that I’m not used to in Digital.
If you’re looking for a sign to jump into the bundle with both feet, just do it. Worth every penny and then some, couldn’t imagine using ColorLab without Duplitone and Phantom Paper.
(I even jumped into Inferno Ink to go all the way, just so so impressed with RetroSupply’s quality of tools, as well as the amount of supporting documentation they include).

I am developing an anthology comic that is heavily inspired by EC & Warren comics such as "Tales from the Crypt", "The Haunt of Fear", "Eerie", "Campirella", etc, and the Retro Supply brushes provide the perfect way to emulate those older comic art styles. Marvel Age #13 (a Marvel News magazine) describes the exact same color process and even provides some of the color codes for famous character like Captain America and The Hulk!
