[Affinity Designer: How to tell which brush was used]

It's really too bad it's not possible. It would be useful.

Naming the layer with the name of the brush is a good idea. I will also maybe track them in a separate document.

Thanks to both of you!

[Affinity Designer: How to tell which brush was used]

Hi,

I am doing an illustration and I can't find a brush I used for one of the section. Is there a way to know? I have so many brushes.

Thank you!

[Shadow with Multiply Layer and Layer Mask]

Thank you to both of you! I have finally been able to make it work with your instructions and the video. I appreciate the time you put into answering my questions.

[Shadow with Multiply Layer and Layer Mask]

Thank you very much for your reply. It's almost what I am looking for.

If we reuse the monkey design, could you add a new layer in 'multiply' mode with a dark blue-gray color, and then apply a black mask? When you add the shadow, it should dynamically react to the underlying color. This means if I change the monkey's brown color to, let's say, red, the shadow should automatically adjust to reflect the new red shade, but with the dark blue-gray color.

[Shadow with Multiply Layer and Layer Mask]

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to create shadows in my illustrations similar to those in this video by using multiply layers and layer masks, but I don't think I'm doing it correctly. I'm unsure how to add the black or the blue-gray and work with the different layers. I am confused, so if someone could show me step by step with images, it would be very much appreciated.

 

Thank you!
