As a follow up to the Artifex Forge’s incredibly successful graphic Rope Brushes – I am proud to present the most life-like set of rope, string, baker’s twine and rustic twine vector brushes ever made! All are sourced from real ropes, string etc and retain their quirky, rustic qualities.
On your behalf, the Artifex Forge has been building up a now extensive rope collection, all to get the right rope textures to turn into the perfect vector brushes. After careful processing, these flexible rope brushes are perfect for a whole variety of projects and themes including, but not limited to, food packaging, craft projects, wedding designs, rustic giftware or nautical.
You can also make your own re-posable ropes – something that rope graphics just don’t allow for.

Jeanne –
I bought these brushes as part of a bundle and didn’t think I’d use them very often, but they’ve turned out to be so useful for various projects! What busy illustrator wants to spend ages trying to create a realistic rope effect when these brushes allow you do it with one simple click? Fantastic brushes!
