affinity designer Matt's Sketchbook
Matthew Dickerson replied to Matthew Dickerson's topic in Share your work
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. -

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 -

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! -

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. -

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.. -

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. -
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..
