Christi Du Toit is a full-time freelance commercial artist, graphic designer and digital brush-smith from Cape Town, South Africa.
We have commissioned his services several times to great effect—you can see his artwork on our website and in our videos, so when we heard he was working on a brush pack designed for Affinity we knew we had to make them available to you!
What is Christi’s Comix Toolbox?
The ‘Comix Toolbox’ was created specifically with a traditional comic-illustration aesthetic in mind.
In this set you will find drafting pencils, erasers, professional inking tools, effects brushes, colouring brushes, custom assets and everything else you need to create stellar digital artwork from the ground up with a comic art look and feel, desktop and iPad friendly!
