The Best Vintage Brush Packs for Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Designer and Procreate
Vintage-inspired graphics are making a comeback! Texture brushes are the perfect way to add detail and originality to your digital art.
Gritty pencils and inky markers create a hand-drawn effect and can elevate your art. In addition to brushes, textured presets in Photoshop allow you to achieve that “retro look” without spending hours crafting your own.
We’re showcasing some of our favorite brush and texture packs available on the market, either free with an Adobe CC subscription or for purchase from third-party companies.
#1 Kyle’s Brushes
Do you have an Adobe CC subscription? Then, you probably already have these brushes! Award-winning artist Kyle T. Webster has over 300 brushes available to download for free. His unique brushes range from pencils, pastels, charcoal, inks, oils, and watercolors. He’s even created smudge tools and erasers to use with the brush packs. If you’re looking for a hand-drawn feel, then Kyle’s brushes are for you!
