Hi I want to resize the inside of the B to make the black area thicker. Is there a way I can select these points and scale and drag them all in so that they keep the same shape? Also, is there a better way to make letters the shape I want them such as bubble letters?

Yes it's very nice @Medical Officer Bones

I'm using the XP-PEN G640S in Affinity Designer on Mac OS High Sierra I spent some time checking various review videos and I bought the XP-PEN G640S (6" x 4") a few weeks ago as my first pen-tablet. I bought it because it was cheap with a decent drawing surface size. It's cool and it came with many spare pen tips (about 10-20) so I wonder why...do they break or something? I really like the buttons on the side of the tablet for zooming and changing the brush size, it makes it very easy to use with Affinity Designer.

@G13RL Thanks, I added my attempt of your style to my original post. @firstdefence Thanks for the brush, I updated my post to show my attempt using that brush. I'm getting closer to what I want but I still want to do better.

@firstdefence These are getting better, but how are you creating your spiral? Is it freehand drawing with the brush tool? @GarryP That's a good point and I've checked but I can't find anything exactly how I like it.

I'd like a Spiral Tool that can create: Linear spirals Non-linear spirals With some simple sliders for things like: Number of tails Angle Radius Something like the Cog tool but for Spirals would be great.

I'm trying to create a rainbow spiral like this, but how can I do it? I can create this spiral but I don't know how to fill it with color (even though it's all 1 curve), and also I want to do something like the vortex-like bleed effect over the whole pattern. Also I like the way there seems to be a curved gradient around the spirals, but how can I make a curved gradient in Affinity Designer? I made this by using triangles and linear gradients, it's not great but I'll add it here to show my progress and things that I'm trying: Using the technique from @G13RL on a spiral asset I downloaded and a gaussian blur I've made this attempt: Using the brush tool provided by @firstdefence I've made this next attempt:
