Rooted in the pre-Code horror comics of roughly 1948–1955, printed hot and cheap on four-color newsprint. The result is inking that feels like it survived the Comics Code instead of being born after it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- tab: Specifications --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 distressed inkers (fine crow-quill to broad gritty filler)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 shaders \u0026amp; washes (Dirty Halftone, Dirty Line, Dirty Stipple, Soft Ink Wash, Hard Ink Wash)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 bonus defect brushes (Light Ink Damage, Medium Ink Damage, Heavy Ink Damage, Ink Distress, Ink Speckle)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall \u0026amp; More Guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[EBOOK] Working in the Dark: Lessons from the People Who Built Horror Comics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInk Bleed Practice Sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInk Bleed Reference Sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdobe Photoshop CC (2021 or newer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersions for Procreate and Affinity sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFile Formats\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e.abr (Photoshop brushes)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e.psd (practice files)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePDF guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RetroSupply Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43965923098711,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7289\/files\/InkBleed_V3_MainCover_PSc.jpg?v=1781638522","url":"https:\/\/www.retrosupply.co\/products\/ink-bleed-for-photoshop","provider":"RetroSupply Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
