My apologies. I will try to be more considerate to forum rules next time.

Brevity is the soul of wit 😄 I completely agree with you, though

@My Strawberry Monkey Your character now has much more personality and a memorable look. Fantastic progress! As for appreciating art, age is no barrier. Whether preschoolers or adults, everyone can enjoy and connect with art in their own way.

It's amazing!! The creativity and detail in each piece are really impressive. Also fascinating to see how your style has evolved over a year. Keep up the fantastic work!

Oh, if it's still relevant, I've been experimenting with one generator recently. The downside is that many features are locked behind the paid version, but I think it’s still worth mentioning. I learned about it from my designer wife. She mentioned that they use their own art as training data for the generator. It sounds interesting, though I'm not entirely sure how accurate that is. Attaching the link: https://icons8.com/illustration-generator And if anyone knows of similar generators that use their own artwork, I'd love to hear about them more!

Don't worry, layers can be confusing at first. Think of them like stacked sheets of paper. You can add new layers from the toolbar, move them around by dragging, and group them with Ctrl+G (Cmd+G on Mac). To rename or change a layer, just double-click it. Play around with these and you'll get the hang of it soon!

I have to admit that I'm terrified of insects, but there's something about them that fascinates me endlessly. The exhibition is fantastic because it provides a controlled environment where people like me can face their fears more comfortably than encountering an insect at home.

This might sound a bit silly, but is it possible for you to at least restart Affinity?

Hi Steve, Try using the Layer > Create Compound to combine your shapes and remove the overhang. However, you have to experiment with the compound functions after to see what works best.

Imagining the kind of heat you must have there, this photo truly conveys the refreshing feel of a spring (or autumn?) forest. Amazing work!

But would that help with the UI resetting at startup? @Boeskoolke, you might want to check if the 'Save Studio Presets' option is enabled before you close the application.

Thank you very much for sharing those shortcuts! When I was younger, I used to get completely lost in drawing software because I never thought about using them. It felt so unproductive scrolling through all the settings with a mouse. Now, just pressing a single button makes such a difference and I'm starting to look like I'm savvy about it all 😄

Hi everyone, I'm Hunter, excited to join this community. I'm new to Affinity products and have been having a lot of fun exploring them. Looking forward to learning more and connecting with you all!
