So I continue to learn and discover the possibilities of AD. I am posting here an illustration for my future website. I used here the "Tattoo Art Brushes" for some effects of shadows and textures. The critics are welcome.

A little experiment in keeping things black and white. The main outlines were vectors with detail added in pixel mode. Used brushes/pencil tools to do the vector lines, not the pen tool as I wanted a slightly loose feel, but not too much. In fact, I didn't really know what I wanted!

This file whether an EPS or PDF, will not open as anything other than rasterised images in Adobe Illustrator, telling the exporter to not rasterise anything will lose the strokes texture because it is a raster image and you will end up with this...

In Adobe Illustrator, their brushes are pure vector files, so based mainly on eps, ai files. A comparable Affinity scenario would be creating vector brushes based on afdesign files, this is not possible at the moment but I hope they will get round to it soon so we can have pure vector brushes in Affinity, meaning vector graphics on curves/paths.

You friend can convert it to curves in Illustrator, or you can do it with inkScape:
You rasterize the stroke(s) and cut them (I did it one by one to keep them independent) You open inkScape and paste it You vectorize them You cut and paste them in AD

The files:
CHAPPAS2.afdesign
CHAPPAS.eps
 

Another one done based on a randomly generated description. I'm starting to get the hang of Affinity Designer a little more and am able to work a little faster and more confidently. 

This is something I sat on for a few days hoping I would get time to go back and polish it up a bit more. Unfortunately, that hasn't really happened. I'm trying to get in the habit of getting to a stopping point with things, though. I have a ton of unfinished pieces and realize it's a bad habit I have.

I wanted to learn how to apply textures to my work using the pixel profile. Although some of this is a bit rough, I was generally really pleased with the result.

Very lovely work, well done.
I have a feeling, that the car and sweet cat and chair needs something more –
like a street or sand or what ever you want. It looks a bit flying in nowhere.
The shadows are very good.
