The reason most designers fail with brushes

I've had a lot of people write me frustrated that they couldn't get the same textures other designers achieved. 

But here's the real problem: Most brushes just aren't made well. Go check out your brush library and you'll probably find that most if not all of your brushes have hard edges. That means every time you use it you have to try to cover up that edge. That's not fun!

It's like you're putting blobs of texture on your work : ( No bueno

The secret to getting great textures with brushes

What if brushes were easy to use? You could just pick a brush, click it on your canvas and the results were beautiful and seamless?

The secret is using well made brushes. So what makes a great brush? Here's the 3 things you should look for:

1. Carefully made edges that transition well. This makes it easy to use without doing "clean up"
2. Variations in sharpness of textures – these give you crisp realistic textures without being over the top
3. Careful consideration for subtlety - brushes that are too intense are hard to use 

The Standard Issue Brush Kit contains 24 brushes you'll actually enjoy using

These brushes will make you actually feel a rush of joy when you use them. Seriously, they're that easy to use. Some people have already written and told me they deleted all their old texture brushes after getting these! 

These are brushes I personally use all the time. I have nearly 1000 brushes and this is the pack I use 95% of the time. 


Here's what you're getting:

Standard Issue Subtle Brushes ($27)
A collection of 24 of my personal subtle grunge brushes. Each brush was carefully created. 

- Carefully crafted to blend with your work – no more "fixing" bad brushes. 
- Variations in sharpness and texture create a realistic effect – right out of the box.
- Made very subtle - 1 click won't overwhelm your work with texture.
- A beautifully made Easy Reference PDF. No more guessing what brush you're using!

Bonus #1 - Edge Brush Kit ($7)
7 brushes designed specifically for using on the edges of your work.

Bonus #2 - RetroSupply 3-Step Texture Formula Video Tutorial ($15)
This video tutorial alone is worth the price. I'll show you the 3-Step Texture Formula I use on all my work. This 10 minute video will show you how to get rich layered textures with crisp details and vivid color. 

Bonus #3 - Dustin's Brush Picks ($9)
A hand picked collection of my favorite brushes from previous RetroSupply products. These don't have the same carefully crafted edges. But I still find myself coming back to them time and time again.

Bonus #4 - 10 Super Huge Subtle Brushes ($10)
Because sometimes you need REALLY big subtle brushes. This set of 10 brushes is just as well made as the ones in the Standard Issue Subtle Brush Kit. Except they're gigantic!

Bonus #5 - 9 More Subtle Brushes ($10)
Okay, I admit. I went a little overboard on this pack. I've added an additional bonus of 9 more subtle brushes. These brushes are the same quality as the ones in the original subtle brush kit. That's a total of 33 authentic and beautiful subtle brushes!

Buy the Standard Issue Subtle Brush Kit now for practically nothing!

P.S. Don't forget. If this pack isn't right for you for any reason just shoot us an email within 30 days and we'll happily refund your money! Two refunds per person or household.

    Buy These Brushes

    This is, hands down, one of the most useful brush sets I’ve bought. The key word in the set is “subtle” and these brushes allow you to build shade and texture gradually with a generous library of texture shades. They are very responsive to my Apple pen when I use my iPad and Astropad to paint. This is probably the most useful set of brushes for the price in my toolbox.

    Subtle makes a big impact

    I love these brushes. They are so well-made, easy to use and give just the right amount of texture and distress to your work that is so realistic. The edges and folds brushes are such a great addition. The paper cracking brush is so so good.

    Must have brush set!

    I'm a photoshop newbie but these brushes are so simple to use and get amazing effects with very little effort. I am able to make my own vintage labels and stationery without spending hours searching online or paying for items. Well worth the (small) investment and super fun to use. Thank you!

    Great for making maps look old!

    I used these brushes to transform a stock-photo map into a map that looked worn and faded. The brushes add paper texture as well as realistic folds and torn edges. The video tutorial explains the process well.

    Thank you so much for sharing how you used the brush kit, Jill! That sounds like a really cool project! I agree, those edge brushes are totally indispensible.

    Quality brushes

    These brushes have already paid for themselves. The bonus 3-Step Texture Formula Video was insightful and helped me make better textures. One thing I find with Retro Supply's tools is the quality -- each asset is almost always better than other products that I've used to create similar vintage designs.

    Scott, thank you so much, man! Really glad RetroInk has been useful for you. What I've found is people love it because it saves heaps of times doing redundant building up or graphic styles and textures for vector work. That way you can focus on getting work done fast and looking awesome! Thanks again, Scott : )
