To help you achieve it, Domestika offers an exclusive free resource: a folder with a selection of Photoshop brushes inspired by this technique, created and used in the course "Risography for illustrators: from digital design to print art".". With these brushes you will be able to give your digital works a tactile and authentic texture, perfect for projects with handmade personality. Why use brushes with risographic texture?
