[Proportion/perspective adjustments?]

Hi Alabaster,

After you've created your selection you can change to the move tool and manipulate/skew it as if it was a vector shape. 

Isn't that what you are looking for?

 

Not exactly. I'm looking for something in which I can select the object like this:

 

And by using the handles, change it's proportions to look like this:

 

Is there anything that can do that relatively quickly (it's very useful during the sketching phase of my drawings for quick adjustments)

[Proportion/perspective adjustments?]

One feature I've always loved in (Pixel) drawing programs like PaintTool SAI was the ability to change the proportions of a drawing after it was drawn through the adjustment of handles around its edge. This could also be used to adjust the perspective of things. I've seen something similar in AD already (In the video in which they created a mock-up billboard for AD to show off how to adjust perspective) and I was wondering if this could be (quickly) applied to a pixel drawing? (i.e. using the lasso to isolate a body part like an arm or a leg and adjusting that.)

 

I'm not sure I did very good explaining this, I suppose I could to find a video and paste in a link? Hmm

I haven't found any import method either, aside from opening the document and copy/paste-ing it into the new one. It works without a hitch for me.

Very nice... Love your style, especially on the Volkswagen!

Ah... Sorry to bother then! Thanks.

I would find it useful to be able to add text boxes or object that are visible off the white space, for instance, Being able to put a little circle or something to use as a horizon point would be great, as I currently use the corner of a window when zoomed to fit.

Yup, you're on to something here. Very good effort. 

 

Are you familiar with the album art of a band called Gong? This reminds me of one of their albums.

You will probably know by now, that a pencil sketch/scan will speed things up very quickly.

 

It's the vectoring, that I find takes ages...only 10,000 hours to go :ph34r:

 

 

Very cool... I've not heard of them, but it does seem similar. This picture is solely inspired by Welcome to Night Vale, a (FREE) podcast from the perspective of Cecil Palmer, a radio newscaster from and for the simple little Lovecraftian town of Nightvale. It is host to a wide array of... interesting happenings. You should check it out!

 

Also, yes. I couldn't imagine doing this without drawing it out first; I'd spend so much time on the vectors that I'd forget all my ideas before I put them down. 

(Hopefully this will be remedied when i get my Intuos drawing tablet... Only a week or so away now!)

[Welcome to Nightvale-WIP]

Told a friend they'd be able to find something i did on these forums about a week ago, but I haven't gotten to finishing it, so here's the sketch...

 

It's not really going to look the same in the end, especially since I'm still deciding how I want to go on color. It's supposed reflect the podcast in the sense that it will be to be dark themed, but also meant to have undertones of beauty, so finding the balance between color and... not seems like it will be difficult.

 

EDIT: Updated with the most recent version, of which... I'm not exactly happy with. I was just messing around with colors and effects mostly, any suggestions?

[Combining curves?]

Welcome Alabaster,

The Affinity team is still improving things there. Here's the related threads where you can find more info: Join Lines and Join Curves always joins end to end

 

Meanwhile check the attachment below.

 

 

Thank you very much.

[Combining curves?]

I'm sure there's a way, and I've just missed it, but is there any way to combine two separate curves, making them one? Also, does this work with closed figures?

 

Basically, on a drawn figure, I have a head and a body, both separate curves, both close figures. I need to cut out part of the head where the "neck" would be and do the same to the body, then join those two gaps, heaving a whole figure and keeping the original shape of both of them.

[Is there a comprehensive list of key bindings/shortcuts anywhere?]

I've looked in the help menu but have had no luck.
