Hi all, I hope you are well! I've recently started doing a lot of character design using AD and have been inspired by many talented artists on Instagram. I realise a lot of them would use Procreate for their artwork, but I think you can mostly do everything using AD.. I'm not really sure how to phrase my question, but I wonder if any of you know what sort of brushes might have been used to create something like the attached photo? Also in a lot of designs (and in the example one attached), I see some of the shapes outlined.. it's not like a full or a harsh outline if you were to add it as a stroke, but more like it's been drawn on afterwards, and it's a very natural organic looking pencil line.. Does anyone have any suggestions for how you might do this and get it close to the fill line/edge? Sorry if my questions are a bit vague or simple, I'm very new to this! Thanks Jessica

Hi all, I'm just trying to create a flower image and have drawn a shape using the pencil tool.. I have then tried painting within the shape in the Pixel Persona using some of my raster pencil brushes. For some reason it's not working at all. I'm pretty sure I've not had a problem with this before but maybe I'm missing something? (Sorry I'm not very knowledgeable about all this!) I can use some of the other brushes in the shape, but others aren't working. They don't make any marks on the page at all. Do let me know if you need me to explain further, I hope you understand what I mean. Thanks so much in advance! Jessica

Hi there, I'm not really sure how to explain this, so sorry if it's confusing! But I had been using PSD files to create mockup images on AP, and I would double click the 'project' icon to insert my design into the photo. For some reason I can no longer double click the 'project' icon, and so I'm not sure how to insert my design? I don't know if AP has changed or if it is because I'm using a new laptop? Thanks in advance. Jessica

Hi there, I have been using the Affinity Inkwell brushes for a while now and suddenly when I went to use them today they have stopped working. They just seem to come up with a basic pen brush. I'm not sure why, I have made sure that the controller is set to 'brush defaults' and I have tried the other options as well. Other brushes seem to be working fine, it's only this set. Has anyone else noticed this or is there something I need to select? Thanks in advance. Jessica

Hi there, I was just wondering what the best way to draw some watercolour florals would be? I've got an example image below for reference. How would you go about recreating something like this/what kind of brushes would you use? Sorry, this is probably fairly basic, it's just I'm still learning! Thanks in advance. Jessica

Hi there I was wondering what would be the best/easiest way of creating a blueprint style graph? I've got an example below : https://image.shutterstock.com/image-photo/old-blueprint-background-texture-technical-260nw-284571158.jpg I'm not sure how to do it using AD, so any help would be much appreciated! Thanks Jessica

Thank you for your reply and the advice, that's great. I'm using desktop.. as I said I'm fairly new to it all so will spend a bit more time figuring out what sort of thing I need I have done some designs where I have switched between the designer persona and the pixel persona.. does it matter if you change between the two if you're using it for print? Thanks again! Jessica

Hi there, I'd be really interested to know if you advise getting extra brush packs? I'm fairly new to design and especially AD, so have been slowly trying out the default brushes, but wondered if it would be good to get maybe the Eleni Debo Illustration Brush Pack for example? I want to get into illustration and character design, and so just thought I'd ask your advice and see if you think that sort of thing would be needed for that? Thanks in advance. Jessica

Hi there, I'm not sure how to explain this, but I have got some screenshots attached. Basically I was using AD and working on a logo with a blue element, I then opened a second document and pasted the logo there, but the colour showed up completely differently to the first document and I'm not sure why. The colour is apparently the same, but the whole colour wheel is showing up differently and I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help? Thanks Jessica

Hey there, I've recently started using mockups on Affinity Photo and have found them great! Except today I tried to do a wine bottle one and when I opened the file it didn't appear properly. I have attached the photo of what it should look like and what it actually looked like. I guess it's something to do with the ordering of the layers but I don't really know. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Jessica

Hey there, I've found some mockup designs that I would like to use, but I'm not sure how to place my design onto it using Affinity.. Can anyone help? The website has a help page, but I couldn't really understand. It's here if you want to see: https://mockups-design.com/how-to-use-mockups/ Thanks in advance. Jessica
