TransferTone | Dry Transfer Brushes for Clip Studio Paint

A quick way to add texture to your work

This is a review specifically for the Clip Studio Paint version of the material. The dry transfer brushes are an easy and quick way to texturize your artwork. They look better on greyscale or limited palette illustrations instead of fully painting an image, and the learning curve to figure out what looks good requires a lot of experimentation. Some patterns are better than others, but that is entirely personal taste. I can say that most if not all of them are clearly distinct from one another, so no real repeats. Something I can't get the hang on is the shader version of the brushes, I understand the idea but can't figure out a way to make them look actually good. A tutorial on this subject included with the bundle would go a long way into getting the most out of the pack, in my opinion. The small bonus of pointillism brushes are a nice touch, makes me curious to see what a fully dedicated set of them would look like. One thing of note that I find in most Retro Supply brushes of this type, including the Halftone and Color Lab ones, is a faded quality to the brush edges that make it hard to get a clear definition, and not in a fun, retro way, and most importantly makes it impossible to invert the texture of the brush, something I find crucial when getting the most out of this type of asset. It is possible to get a hard edge to the brush and make it possible to invert the texture, but it is cumbersome to do, especially for the quantity of brushes in the package. This may be entirely personal preference, maybe you won't see a problem with it. Overall, this is a fun and interesting brush pack to work with that can be useful to all skill levels, including beginners, provided you want to sit down with them and experiment with the results.
