Achieving Precision and Simplicity

Mid-century illustrators relied on each line and shape to move the piece forward. Modern digital brushes often lack the refinement to capture this simplicity.

Capturing Authentic Retro Textures

Mid-century art mastered texture, from soft gouache to gritty halftones. Digital tools often fall short, producing flat, stamp-like results that lack the warmth of the originals.

Balancing Bold Colors Without Overwhelming

Artists like Mary Blair and Charley Harper made limited color palettes pop with natural media’s nuances. Digital brushes often struggle to recreate the layered richness of these colors.

Blending Different Media Seamlessly

Mid-century charm often stemmed from mixing pencils, ink, and gouache. Many Procreate brush sets lack the cohesiveness to blend media seamlessly in a single illustration.

Creating a Versatile, Fast Workflow

Time constraints were as real for mid-century illustrators as they are today. Digital brushes that require endless tweaking are a time drain, undermining efficient workflows essential for both eras.

Luckily, there's now a better way to capture the aesthetic of mid-century illustration in your work.
