GrutBrushes vs RetroSupply Co.

GrutBrushes is a collection of digital art tools, including brushes and smart digital paper, for artists using supported creative apps. Its Photoshop brushes respond to hand movement and pressure, so strokes vary with the artist’s input. The Photoshop Complete set spans watercolor, ink, oil, impasto, natural media, pencil, charcoal, specialty, cross-hatching and mixer brushes. Procreate Brushes Unlimited lets users browse, search, preview and install brushes directly to an iPad, with 12 months of access to new brushes. An optional Photoshop plugin organizes presets into sets and supports drag-and-drop ordering, but it is incompatible with the latest Photoshop update that removed legacy plugins; ABR files remain usable in Photoshop CC’s brushes panel. The shop lists free products, including a sampler, and a free signup. One-time plans include Procreate Pencils at 7.00 USD and two sets at 20.00 USD each. The license permits commercial artwork, but not resale of downloaded files.

RetroSupply Co. sells digital creative tools, including brushes, textures, templates, fonts, and other assets for apps such as Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and Clip Studio Paint. Listed brush formats include .abr, .tpl, .ai, and .afbrushes, and commercial licensing is available.

A free brush pack is available after entering an email address. It includes pencils, pens, markers, halftones, distressing brushes, and a layered paper texture, with support listed for Procreate, Photoshop, Affinity, and Clip Studio Paint. The Procreate collection includes brushes, textures, halftones, color tools, inking kits, and print effects. Its listed one-time price is 197.00 USD, but the collection page displayed it as unavailable. The collection covers current Procreate products, excludes fonts, and does not automatically include future products. Its page describes a 30-day refund policy, while orders discounted by 40% or more are final sale. RetroSupply also offers tutorials on traditional digital art and design styles, including mid-century illustration and vintage comics. Support usually replies within one business day.
