Create Lush Gouache Style Illustrators with this Illustrator Brush Pack

"So much detail! How in the hell did you do that?"

That's the question that I've read probably a dozen times below Adam Grason's work.

Luckily, now you can use the same brushes that Adam Grason and so many other illustrators use in their work.

Be sure to look carefully at the brush previews to see how the brushes are used and the diversity in the pack.

Here's what you're going to get:

  • 52 gouache brushes for Adobe Illustrator (CS4 and above).
  • Works fantastic with mouse or tablet (we've worked with in with an iPad Pro, and it was fast and fun).
  • Get rich gouache effects in Illustrator in a few minutes. No more hours of searching for weird textures to add on top and then mask in odd angles.
  • Perfect for flexible illustrator work for posters, books, and other artwork that must be able to scale.
  • Use it how you want. Create books, merchandise, posters, vector art, or anything else. Just don't resell the pack or give it away.
  • Brushes pay for themselves in one project easy.
  • Compatible with Adobe CS4, CS5, CS6, and CC.

Software: Adobe Illustrator CS4 and above

Hardware: 2.4ghz processor or higher

    Highly versatile tool that is elevating the quality of my illustrations daily

    I have been craving an analogue feeling in my illustration work for a long time, but been hesitant in reaching for analogue art supplies, as digital is my preferred way of working. This brush set turned out to be exactly what I needed and is absolutely elevating the quality of my work daily. Before my purchase I have also been looking at other brush sets from Retro Supply, but I ended up buying this one, because it looked like the most comprehensive choice. And let me tell you - I was not wrong! It has the perfect combination of liner brushes (which, apart from gouache, resemble pencil strokes, too) and shaders (the textures you can achieve are just outstanding!). If a versatile tool is what you are looking for, I would definitely choose this one.

    Leveled up my Mural game!

    I've been using these brushes for years on Procreate. It's seriously helped to get that mid-century illustration style I've been in love with for so long. It also helped me to develop a recognizable style that I've used in illustrations and animations that have even been in my local airport. Big win! Was recently commissioned to complete a VERY long digital mural and had to use vector. I use Illustrator occasionally but really missed my Retro Supply brushes. So it was a no-brainer to purchase this brush set again for Illustrator. They're so intuitive and really level up my work. Thank you!

    Excellent quality, will be using more RetroSupply packs in the future!

    I purchased this pack recently to add some finishing texture to a design that was close to deadline. The ease of use and helpful installation guides on the retro supply website allowed me to crack open this set and finish my design in no time, with some charming texture added! Perfect for adding character and life to art that still needs to be scalable. I'm excited to try out more of their brush and shader packs.
