Fantastic. Generous, Well-though-out.

Overall a fantastic package. Great quality brushes, with a large variety in the set. I'm not sure I'll every be able to use them all, but certainly had fun playing around, and have found a few new favourites already. Really liked the included instructions/ brochure as well. Generally I had the feeling that whoever is making this really cares, which is refreshing in the current landscape. Website is great too - appealing pricing structure, love the money-back guarantee, helpful information/ demos on what is included, and overall love the design of everything.

The rusty Nib for Procreate

I recently started using procreate as a graphic designer. The basic brushes offered by the application are not very interesting. An illustrator friend of mine recommended True Grit and in particular the rusty nib. Since I downloaded it I can't do without it.

Exactly What I Needed

I wanted something which felt more organic for linework on my tattoo flash and illustrations. The sheer number of brushes alone is worth the price and then the adaptability and styles on top of that are unreal. So excited to work through all of these and pic out my faves
