Why are these packs so popular?

Here’s the secret… Each pack in The Vector Brush Toolbox for Affinity Designer was made from real source material, and references historical commercial illustration work.

So what exactly does that mean? Here's the breakdown.

We Use Real Source Material

Whenever possible, we sample our brushes from mid-century catalogs, advertisements, posters and other material. We acquire this material from places like eBay, antique stores, estate sales and swap meets.

We combine and tweak each piece of the product so it's not an exact replica, of course, out of respect for the great commercial artists of the past.

We Reference Historical Design Work

When we make our brushes, we pay close attention to the way the brush looked originally.

Yeah, sometimes we get a little obsessive-compulsive on the details. But it's who we are!

We Make Things by Hand

Often the best way to recreate these old effects is to make them ourselves. In many cases, we purchase material, painstakingly recreate retro work and then sample the work we created.

For example, InkWash is a throwback to the ink washes that illustrators would use to add shading to their work. For this pack, we studied the original uses of ink washes in ads and articles from old science magazines.

Then we purchased India ink, brushes, and heavy illustration paper. By tweaking our ink and water proportions, brush strokes and how loaded the brush was, we created hundreds of samples.

Finally, we picked the best samples to convert into brushes.

Grab this pack now for $49 and rest easy knowing you have every brush you'll ever need for vector drawing in Affinity Designer.

    An absolutely essential bundle for drawing in vector

    Lots and lots and lots of vector brushes for lots of uses: drawing, inking, effects... Too many perhaps, which explains my 4/5 rating, because some brushes in the VectorHero and VectorSketch packs are redundant. But there's everything, and it's impossible to miss anything. Very easy to install and use. I recommend it, obviously.

Only practice can do that, unfortunately! Our tools are designed to make specific effects and techniques more accessible and authentic. Hopefully, it seems we've accomplished that for you.

    Vector so cool

    I am just learning Affinity Designer so on a steep learning curve as vectors are new to my skill set, but it would have been much harder had i not had a cool set of brushes that worked straight out of the box, so yet again thanks to those wonderful boffins at RetroSupply Co for all the hard work they put into making such great products.

    Great Value

    The value I receive from this bundle is so much greater than buying 1 or 2 specific products I was looking at within it. For my workflow, I like the scalability and tunability of vector graphics. Affinity has great base vector tools, but I wanted some more variety, especially a few grain brushes, this toolbox was at such a great price, and what it offers goes above and beyond what I initially wanted.
