Hi everybody,

Must be a couple of years since my last post, Ive been busy raising kids and other stuff, I decided to load up Designer the last few days to see whats new.  Some software feels so alien when you don't use it for ages, Designer feels like slipping on an old pair of comfy shoes, nice! So here is my efforts.

I stumbled upon this article recently, I'd like to know if anybody using designer follows this workflow, and if there are real benifits from being so strict with node placement. I never create any text, just general shapes.

 

Cheers

Craig.

Top trumps cards? garbage pale kids style?

[Speeding up my workflow....]

Check out this tutorial, this guy doesn't create outlines at all.

 

Not sure if it applies but a good read anyway.

[Maintain texture line style when creating new strokes?]

Sorry if this is a basic question,

 

If I choose a texture brush how do I keep the style when laying down new paths with the pen tool?

 

Thanks!

Cool, the reflections on the helmet look great.

[Topless Girl (warning: contains nudity)]

Quite an interesting style, I like it! Personally I think the nipples are too prominent or too dark, all I can see is nipples! Is this the desired effect?

[Giant Panda.]

Haha indeed!

Goodnight Sweetheart, Channel GOLD have started showing them again through the day, I watched the first episode last week! Strange.

[Giant Panda.]

peter, hahaha, your mind is a labyrinth of eighties tv, I'm starting to think you still have the Only Fools and horses video box set under your tv?!!

 

The chinese symbols just say 'Giant Panda', I hope!

[Giant Panda.]

Thanks affinity4Christ15,

 

I used one of the standard spray paint brushes available in pixel persona.

 

Cheers.

[Quick selfie]

very stylish!

My latest image, again trying new things out, pretty pleased with this one.

 

Thanks for viewing!

[Cats from the children's book]

Cool, I really like the design of the bushes behind the cats, a good solution. Nice line work.

[Flamingoes.]

Cheers Bodobe, ronnyb!

[Flamingoes.]

Well it certainly looks authentic peter, a great choice of font.

 

Its inspired me also to start thinking about old postcards, stamps and advertisements, I think there's a lot of inspiration to be found there!

[Flamingoes.]

Cheers Matt!

[Flamingoes.]

Thanks George! Yep need to fix those legs.

 

Of course you could create something like this.

 

Cheers!

[Flamingoes.]

Cheers digital_wampa!

 

@peter, yeah looks good!

[Lighthouse A3 poster]

Great work, It looks like an ambient occlusion render, lovely soft contact shadows. Impressive.

[Flamingoes.]

Thank you MEB, I think I agree about the neck, thanks for the expert eye!

[Flamingoes.]

Thanks A_B_C! The textures are just created using the place image tool, I then drop the opacity and experiment with different blending modes, multiply, soft light etc.

 

@peter, Cheers peter, to be confused with the great George is indeed a compliment! Wow I love the style of these!

 

George, great work as usual.

 

You don't need advice. Just go for it. B)

 

Do you like the 1920's and 1930's train/travel posters? As this is on par with them.

Craig.

[retro]

Certainly a striking piece! My only crit would be the colour of the eye make up, for me it doesn't quite sit with the rest of the palette. Keep it up!
