Here’s what’s included in this fantastic value pack:
84 Vector Cartoonist Brushes:
I live traced real ink strokes then optimized them, reducing the anchor point count & smoothing the curves. This means that there will be less distortion while retaining the life-like inconsistency of real ink. Take a look at the preview to see the range of strokes; together with the variety of lengths this means that over-stretched & distorted lines will be a thing of the past!
4 Bitmap Comic Book Texture patterns
Sourced from real aged ink on paper. These are very high resolution so I’ve limited the colors to keep the overall file size down. However, easy-to-follow instructions are included so you can adjust the colors of the applied patterns. Here are the pixel dimensions:
Black Ink – 2000 x 2000 pixels.
Colored Ink – 3000 x 3000 pixels.
Halftone – 3000 x 3000 pixels.
Paper – 3000 x 3000 pixels.
2 Grunge Edge overlays
As seen on the previews. They’ll give the finishing touch to any retro design. In vector format.
A Bonus set of Comic Book Layer Styles
Add these to your designs for an extra layer of graphic realism! Using bitmap patterns.
