What Sierra Noir Does Best

Sierra Noir is made for artwork that needs charm, grit and strong graphic character.

Use the liners and inkers for bold outlines, clean shapes and expressive drawing. Add gouache, pastel and charcoal textures for worn shading and hand rendered softness. Bring in the warped halftones when you want that slightly strange printed rhythm that makes the artwork feel pulled from an old magazine, poster or sci-fi paperback.

The result is retro without feeling stiff, nostalgic without feeling like a costume and textured without turning muddy.

Note On Adobe Illustrator Compatibility

Because Illustrator uses vector brushes, some Sierra Noir tools have been adapted to preserve the look of the original raster version inside a scalable vector workflow.

The regular Warped Halftone brushes have been rebuilt as a specialized vector brush with two additional brushes for smoother edge blending. Both Warped Halftone styles, Flat and Bleed, are also included as swatches for easier application in Illustrator.

The Illustrator version may behave differently than the raster versions for Procreate, Photoshop, Affinity and Clip Studio Paint, but it is designed to keep the same mid century ink, gouache, pastel and halftone character while giving you the flexibility of editable vector artwork.

Built For Retro Work With Real Bite

Sierra Noir gives you the building blocks for bold, textured and slightly strange mid century inspired artwork. Clean lines when you need structure. Dry texture when you need age. Warped halftones when you need print character. Color palettes when you want the whole thing to lock together fast.

A focused brush and color toolkit for artists who want vintage illustration energy without flattening the work into a filter.
