Since its first introduction over six years ago, Affinity has evolved greatly and turned into one of the best apps for digital art. Powerful engine, perfect UX, and both vector and raster workspaces have ensured the love of millions — if you are one of them, you can’t go without these Affinity Designer brushes we’ve hand-picked for you.
Affinity Designer is a pro-end workhorse that brings desktop and iPad artists together, so it’s quite evident why more and more creators opt for this app. And though Affinity has already confirmed its status of revolutionary design software, artists are still in search of quality and appealing textures and brushes.
We’ve decided to save some of your time and bring a selection of twenty Affinity Designer brushes, including shader, wax, crayon, liner, and grunge brushes from The Artifex Forge and RetroSupply Co.
