  1. W.I.P - Rockin' Orc Working in 16bit has given a lot better performance with the airbrush, I've really enjoyed working in affinity - and have stuck mostly in affinity for the whole process for this picture, i'm beginning to develop a fun workflow that is efficient - having shortcuts for blend modes in 2.1 is a nice help - Would be great if we could have a 'flip view horizontal' option - it's really handy for illustrators/ designers for spotting errors in their work. and Ideally it would be great to have the Mixer brush in Affinity designer as I had to keep switching apps just for using that tool and sometimes this would cause the app to crash - possibly because i'm working in Beta 2.1.
  2. I agree the default brushes for affinity are very nice and work well, I tried importing my Photoshop brushes and they don't work as expected, I'm sure I could try and tweek them but I can't be bothered, I'll just stick with the defaults. Yes maybe 16bit will give me better results with the airbrush, I'll give it a try
  3. Please allow the ability to change the strength of the smudge tool using the number keys. and also the flow using 'Shift' + number keys. It would also be great to change the strength of the mixer brush by using the number keys.
  4. Awesome! Thanks for adding this! This is really important for my workflow as a digital painter ! hopefully, we can get the ability to add shortcuts for Macros/ Actions soon too!
  5. Workflow and Habit - I am unable to use shortcuts for actions and also there are no shortcuts for changing brush blend modes - something I like to do a lot in my workflow. Also, I think the airbrush/ soft round brush is better in photoshop - it's not quite right in affinity.. i like the pencil brushes though.
  6. Mainly using Affinity for sketch and flats then painting in photoshop..
  7. Please also add - Option + drag layer for duplication like in photoshop, this is super handy and quick.
  8. I used affinity for the sketching and Flats stage but mainly painted in photoshop with some painting in affinity, mainly because I haven't sorted out all my shortcuts and workflow yet..
  9. My latest WIP piece is for a Hearthstone art competition.. here is the discord link for any that might be interested in joining the community - Hearthstone Fan Art Brawl - https://discord.gg/XpCW2cf TIPS: I've set the keyboard shortcut W for Quad warp - its great, using it all the time now. TIP 2: Been using the Pen Mode set to Smart Anchors - and drawing 2 points close together for a sharpish curve - This mode is perfect for quick flatting.
  10. Hello! I'm going to start posting my work and W.I.P here.. I will share any cool tips and tricks I pick up along the way! A little about me.. I've been following the progress of the affinity team since its launch, I had a different username 'MattyD' but forgot the password and email lol so created a new one, was really happy that the development team implemented my suggestion with the snap anchor to grid , in fact they went even further and now affinity has incredible snapping features, I honestly believe this will be the industry standard software in perhaps 10-15 years overtaking adobe if they keep doing what they're doing, maybe sooner if they increase their development team, sounds like a long time but adobe is over 30 years old and Affinity around 10 . I would mainly use it for just playing around with but since launch of V2 I've been absolutely loving it, and now feel comfortable using the suite for professional work..
  11. I thought that might be the case, thanks! hopefully, Affinity will add support for variables soon
