New Video Out Now!!!!! Enjoy it!!!
In today's tutorial I'm going to show you how to create a simple line art-style letters effect in Affinity Designer, that can be used for a logos or as some kind of typography design.
Here is the file saved with history so you can follow along:  How to Create Line Effect in Affinity Designer.afdesign
 

Great work.

Another illustration trying the latest beta.

I love the vector style  :)  Here are some vector portraits that I have created with Affinity Designer. Below the picture there is a link to my website, where you can view the works in a larger format.

15 years ago, on honeymoon I took a set of photos (no, not THAT sort of photo, behave yourselves!) as handheld shots of the sunset, with the thought that one day I'd turn them into a panorama shot. Now, all this time later, with AP's brilliant Panorama mode and Tone Mapping / HDR abilities, I've finally got the shot I imagined! Thanks Affinity

Pretty proud of how this turned out given that I was only messing around in it for a bit. Love that I can dodge and burn with my pencil finally!
 
Though the palm rejection needs to either be improved, or ideally I'd love it if they could add a setting to reject touch input on the canvas while using the pencil. Also we need an undo gesture stat!
 
But overall for a 1.0 version this is bloody amazing!

Vector Illustration (AD),
 
The movie "2046" by Wong Kar-Wai inspired me to this vector graphic. The boa and the butterfly come from me. I think that fits;-)

Work in progress... lights are kinda random right now.
 
 

This is the my first foray into using AD.
I guess I would say I'm a casual user but I absolutely love it!
Initially started with hand drawing but have decided to start to vectorize them.

It has been a long road.

Hello there,
 
Artboards help in organising stuff, but as soon as you have more than 5-6 artboards, things get hairy.
The layers panel might have hundreds of items. 
 
Being able to organize content into "Pages", would be a huge time saver.
Both for navigating a big document and for editing it.
 
And it does not sound as something complex, from an implementation perspective.

Is there a chance to get the german version before christmas?

Hi all,
I'm thinking of ways that I can use old illustrations of mine and give them new life. I have all my acrylics artwork scanned and archived. A2 Poster: Coffeebot. Approved by the US Fed. Bureau of Caffeine Control and HM Ministry of Beverages. 
 

Thanks, very nice.

Just trying out some setting and came up with a few that I thought I'd share. Really just playing with settings again. If you click scale with settings you should get better results on these.
 
Hope you see the setting and maybe come up with your own.

I am a moderately new user… and totally new to the forum.
My background with digitally created art goes back to 1990.
I am always on the look out for art driven and digitally practical applications.
Affinity Designer is a welcome revival (in the making) of something like the old Creature House Expression3 (E3) vector/raster hybrid art application. (Even the early Microsoft Acrylic beta application… the last real upgrade of a great piece of art creation software.)
I continue to use Expression3. Tho software and hardware updates are making this more and more difficult. Some samples of art created with E3 here. Affinity Designer is on its way to making a brilliant approach to digital art creation a renewed reality. Thank you to the developers!
 
I am posting here to share some custom Textured brushes for Affinity Designer:
CD_Textured_pack01 (zip file - 30+mb)
These are almost entirely remakes of custom brushes I created for E3 back in 2004-2007.
This set was developed with a moderately organic, mostly water based pigment like art approach in mind. There is a big variety of brush "looks" included. None of these are strictly emulations of traditional art effects. Each is a little "digital" in its own way.
 
Example images of the strokes are attached here.
Hope the user base here finds them interesting and useful.
 
 

Here is  the custom smoke brush I promised in my Custom Smoke Brush Video.
Free to use as you like. If you create one of your own I would like for you to post it to this thread and share with the rest of the community. Let fill the room with smoke ;)
 
 
Don't know how to make your own? Well watch my free Video Tutorial 
 
 
 
 
Thanks cheers and use responsibly :P
