Hi! I'm new to Affinity Designer and I've been teaching myself online as best as I can as I'm kind of new to illustration too (done it briefly in college and now coming back to it and learning from scratch!)
I feel it may be a silly question, but I cannot figure out despite various google/forum searches etc. and I think I've maybe overlooked the answer somewhere.
So, I have a vector image which I have made. I have then wanted to add a splatter effect INSIDE the shape I created. I've gone into Pixel Persona, added a mask layer and selected my brush. When I begin using the brush, it is inside the shape but there is no colour, it is almost transparent or the majority of the time, it is white.
I need the splatter to be in colour to create my desired image, but despite numerous attempts of masks, merging, ruining brush settings and changing the mode of the layer, I cannot get it to go into colour. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm in a bind and it's becoming very frustrating.
Any help is much appreciated, thank you.
