I'm still looking at the geometry, all those perfectly aligned circles...

Very much to my liking :) -
It has a good look and seems to have imported well, too.

Yes, he looks very angry or perhaps aggrieved and the concentration of colour on the lower part of his head accentuates this impression really well. Great stuff.

A work of great patience and precision, love the result -
Good graphics

Very neat and precise - I certainly couldn't create something complex like this quickly, either. I sometimes think that paper and pencil is probably faster. But digital has lots of advantages.

Two nights ago I was dreaming. I was driving with my mother along the motorway when we were overtaken by a very fast black taxi cab. Then, as we went along the slip road to change motorways, we were overtaken by four young men in a Royal Mail parcel tub - which looked rather like half of an old fashioned stage coach on tiny wheels - banking hard around the corner. I have no idea it was propelled. Then, when we joined the next motorway, we were overtaken by four more of these parcel tubs, all full of young people. We soon found out why - there was a charity run on the tow path next to the motorway. (Tow path??? Next to a motorway???). That's where all the people in the parcel tubs were going. I shall leave you wondering about what happened after that! That Royal Mail parcel tub stayed in my mind, though, it was so clear: here is a simple rendering of it:

Thank you, both :)

It's my word, it means I'm very cold. Or, in this case, it means a lady wearing a blue/turquoise dress who is not starring is a certain very popular film animation :) I love working with brushes. Everything would have been easier if the Christmas Tree was not in my way making it harder to see the screen :)

:) I had forgotten about the earlier post, too, but I hadn't cottoned on to the mask layer - what a lot of flexibility that provides!

I haven't got affinity on at the mo (I'm on a windows comp) - but isn't it in the pixel persona?

I know nothing, but I assume that there will be - rightly or wrongly! I really am looking forward to Affinity Photo. Much as I love AD, the idea of combining it with Photo and then with a Publisher, too...................it's more exciting than chocolate!- 22 replies

Brush strokes - my fav part of Affinity, I love using them for shading, especially when I draw the faces and add the colour and they make beautiful sunsets. They can be very, very, subtle, also very easy to alter for fine detail. Typically I just use the vector brushes. -
Surprisingly different! I'll have to sneak a picture of mine, I'm sure to be walking past again very soon :)
-
That is very neat! :)
-
Appreciated. Peter :) :) :)

Hat off, Peter - nothing much fazes you! The thumbnail is brill and really looks the part, sadly I didn't have the same font on my mac so the original was modernised, but it impressed - and amused - me :) :) :)
-
hahahaha!!! Nice font - can you do 9-pin dot matrix, too?

I have certainly missed the workable pasteboard area - it would be very handy for storing my colours - for when you are just playing with Affinity, I like to put squares of colour on a pasteboard so that I can pick them up when I want them and as a guide for my colour palette. I like the moodboard idea, too, that's always workable. I remember being seconded to Banner Textiles (school uniform and flowery shirts) and spending a couple of days in their big computer department - cards being punched and verified by girls on piece work and hard disk drives looking like covered dinner plates in Downton Abbey - and the programmer trying out a new program but being limited to a 64K core :)

Maybe not DOS, but I started in business with an Amstrad PCW in 1988 :) I sometimes think it's sad that I enjoy my digital filing and organising as much as I enjoy learning the Macbook Pro and Affinity. I always felt sorry for a lad whose job was to file paper all day, he wasn't paid very much and hated his very boring job. I didn't know whether to tell him that he was the most important person in the accountancy firm, everything depended on whether he placed each piece of paper in the right file. If I had told him that (and I had no authority to raise his pay accordingly) there could have been two possible outcomes. A) the lad would have been so, so happy that he cheered up, smiled at everyone, filed paper meticulously and lived a charmed life thereafter, or B) nothing was actually going to change, he would still spend all day in a tiny room placing pieces of paper in files and for no extra money, in which case he might have reasoned that he could exact much pain upon his miserable colleagues, and possibly bankrupt the firm, by deliberately mis-filing the papers........................ I chose not to say anything :) YES! Matt, this sounds exceedingly interesting!!!!
-
Yep - I can see the likeness, his diet must have been pretty awful in the years that followed, and his mother should have told him to stop tugging at his ears all the time! :) :) :)
-
Back to Basics :) The answer is that I can't import, but there are other ways of bringing in an illustration that has been saved elsewhere. I am a team of one and not planning to expand :D :D :D Filing is no problem, lols, I've been doing that since 1988!! Thank you all for your input and your interesting ideas :)
-
Yes, I can do that, even better if I could save all my random elements in a folder so that they will be easy to find in the future :D These things will come, I'm sure, meanwhile I'll just build up my stash :) Thanks :)
