Hmmm... export is a bit pixelated. Any idea on how to fix that? George

Hello folks, Been practising with Designer and completed this wee critter in over the past couple o' nights. Still trying to streamline my workflow but practise is good (and fun.....) If anyone has any tips on how to make this better (especially the balloon) then I'd love to hear them. :D Cheers!

affinity designer Testing AD with a drawing I made a long time ago :-)

Haha! Love this little guy! Look forward to seeing it finished. -
Looks ace. Love your style. Great work.

Hey guys, Sorry for bombarding you with all these questions, I know you've got lots of work to do. But..... Is there any way to turn off the colour preview inside the raster brush and just leave an empty circle while you paint? I find it a little disconcerting and distracting while I'm trying to lay down shadows/highlights. Cheers, George

Pencil tool?

Excellent! That would really speed up my 'inking' process. :D Thanks Matt. -
One thing that would be a great addition is a point to point selection tool (like plotting nodes to create a selection) rather than painting a selection. It would be more precise for yon jiggly areas you want to concentrate on. Please?

That sound you hear Matt is the sound o' the whip crackin' Haha! Looking forward to the next update to see what goodies you've brought into it....... -
Gotchya! Except my outline for my head is made up from different vectors, where there are breaks, wrinkles, eyes etc. I may get on better by drawing a separate vector shape for the colour background under these bunch o' outlines. I'll send you my file when I get home. (My apologies, this topic has probably dragged on far longer than it should have!! Thanks for all the input and help though, it's been great.)

So you created the body and outline of gherkin boy from one vector? But how then, can the pixel layer go between the outline and green background (or is this already seprated in the layers children)? Sorry if I'm being stupid. I'm not at home right now and don't have the program in front of me...... I may have to send you my .afdesign file

Hi Matt, Yup, that's what I'm looking to do, except I don't have any creatures that look like a gherkin yet!! :P I'd like to create a variable line thickness for my outline, then fill with colour (be it by raster fill or another vector shape hiding under the outline as discussed above). Then I want to use the pixel tools, setting the brush to 20% opacity to shade and highlight (on their own layers set to Multiply and Screen) and I'm good. Is that what you've done on gherkin boy there?

Hi there folks, I really want to get to grips with this program, and maybe I'm doing this all wrong, but I want to be able to quickly colour in/fill behind the outlines of this character and then use pixel layers to provide shading (on a Multiply layer) and highlighting (on a Screen layer) using the brush tool. But with all three processes I want to use a selection tool to mask off areas to fill, shade or highlight. The brush selection tool isn't accurate enough and takes too much time. I want to create a selection within the outlines with a couple of clicks and then apply a fill. I thought I had the answer from community member Ash but it doesn't really work for my workflow. Have a look at the attached screen shot. How would you colour this character? Am I thinking about this all wrong and need to rethink my workflow?!? Thanks in advance, George
