  1. in my first example i used Segment tool, which is cool for making quick half-circles. Here i add another example, where i made half-circle by subtracting rectangle from  circle, like you mentioned. Still see the deformation in rounding of a corner. You couldnt round second corner cause it is a smooth point somehow, it must be converted to sharp point - then you can round it.

    I did notice the speed improvement. Even though they cannot be expanded. I am sure it's certainly a useful technique for raster work.

    Well, there is a workaround too - just draw the inks and then trace it in something like Cocoapotrace. Rather accurate results. I wish AD had its own tracing persona or something...

    Just built a few brushes using your technique..interesting method and it is certainly quick and smooth. Also gives you the option of adding 'distress' (irregular edges) to a brush. Something that would be very useful.

     

    The only downside is that you do not appear to be able to expand the stroke!

     

    Yes, as with all texture intensity brushes these strokes cant be expanded. 

     

    Another plus is that you don't have to choose controller type, which I usually forgot to do. Every time having AD just launched I started to use the brush with the controller set to none, pressed cmd+z few times to cancel those strokes I've just done, went to controller drop-down menu, chose pressure and made those strokes again ) Now I have working brushes right from the start )))

    Used new for me method of inking - vector brushes without any pressure sensitivity at all. You just create the shape you need and make a brush out of it. Having some brushes made in this manner results in nice and natural looking inks. The reason for using them is actually better predictability of strokes and much higher speed. The brush engine just does not spend time calculating size and opacity variability and you get much faster inks. For many inking tasks this is more than enough. 

     

    Have you been using this method? How you feel about it?

  5. During the long winter nights i often look in the starry sky at the Andromeda galaxy, which can be seen through binoculars. It is so small from our Earth, but actually its a huge galaxy, and i'm wondering - maybe some kind of girl, who lives there, looks right now back at me questioning herself - is there somebody else in this huge space?..

     

    So this is how i see this girl. Damn, i was trying to figure out someone more romantic, but my humorous mind just played a trick on me. Goodbye, Andromeda girl, from now i'm not sure if i want to believe in your existence. :-) 

     

    Based on all those sci-fi fairy tales i've read in my younger years.

     

    Just a bit about the process - i suddenly realise what i want to draw, then i make few sketches on paper or digitally, or both (here Wacom Intuos Pro 2 paper edition was heavily used with its ability to convert paper drawings into digital sketches), then i make final sketch and trace it in Affinity Designer with vector brush. Colors are added after that... So like this.
