Thank you so much for verifying!
-
Excellent!, thank you for helping me with this issue and also for buying the set!
-
My mistake, they should be there now if you re-download it (apologies!)
-
Yeah that is the latest
-
I appreciate it!
-
I am curious if ANYONE has experienced this same issue with the newest version of Affinity Designer or the Beta?
-
Yes everything is the same, I am going to send you a Discord invite so we can maybe work a little faster.
-
Try double clicking one of the .afbrush files and see what it throws at you, also try importing one of them at a time rather than multi-selecting.
-
The brushes you selected in the clip are Vector brushes, and can only be imported in the Designer persona. I recognize that you have the "sample set" imported correctly in the clip. All of the Vector brushes are contained within the Vector Brush folder included in the set. Everything else can be imported through the pixel persona.
-
Try the methods I suggest in the previous post
-
Try double clicking the .afbrushes file. is the "import content" method this: brush panel > import brushes > select any .afbrush file?
-
What version of affinity are you using, and what is the method you're employing to import them?
-
So you're now able to unzip them, but can't import them successfully?
-
when do you get the error? is it in unzipping or when you try and add it to affininty?
-
Hey, I am sorry you're having trouble with the .zip file, I re-uploaded the zip file to Gumroad. I took the liberty of unpacking it to test it before and had success.

Updates! 2023 Hello! It's been a while since the last update, but after a few inquiries on this forum I decided to update the box set of brushes for Affinity Designer & Photo. If you have purchased any set from me or downloaded the sample set you'll be getting an email with a lot of the same information I am about to present here, and I apologize for the redundancy. However, I wanted to give back to the community that inspired the update so I created a discount code just for you. Ultimately, I added around 50 brushes to the box set and retooled every brush. If you own the box set all you need to do is download the updated file from Gumroad. Use the code AFFORUM2023 until Nov 1st 2023 for a discount on the box set. Separate Sets Gouache has been broken out into its own set. Additionally, Every raster brush set is now available to purchase separately. These sets will receive limited updates up to 50 brushes per set. ACRYLIC DRAFTING GOUACHE INK OIL WATERCOLOR Thanks again for your support, happy art making! PS:

you're very welcome. Im glad you are enjoying them!

Currently no, there are no discounts available. When I add to the set I might offer a code for people here. However, I'm not sure it'd be fair to hand out codes a la carte to anyone who asked- plus my inbox wouldn't hear the end of it, savvy? For what its worth I think my brushes are a great value, and if I ever add to the set you'll get that new stuff for free.
-
Hey, Thanks for considering my brushes. Sadly, that discount code expired years ago. I do have a sample set of brushes that is free if you'd like to see what is included in the box set. Cheers, J

You are welcome. I want to impart a few more pieces of advice, but before I do I want to acknowledge that the pandemic has turned everything upside down, and adds another layer of complexity to establishing or re-establish yourself, but I believe it is possible. Having that said, don't rely on the idea of talent as the source of permission to become an artist or learn a new trade. Talent is how a novice interprets hard work. I also started drawing when I was very young, but it was only until I made an effort to sharpen those skills did I find myself improving. Also, for as much as I know or as skilled as I may be- I still have so much to learn and improve upon. Drawing is a lifelong pursuit that I don't think I'll ever feel "finished" learning. It's great that you have a passion for drawing and that you have pencil/paper by your side. The best thing I was ever told early in my Art education was, "If you can draw- you can do absolutely anything" it's absolutely true- and applies to more than just visual art. With that, hone your skills in drawing with paper/pencil first and foremost- it will make learning digital illustration and whatever else so much easier. If you need a syllabus to study by try this: Learn to draw objects in perspective Study the human figure Study the work of old masters Study nature, in nature. Finally, it's okay to feel frustration, it will occur and get the best of you no matter how skilled you become. Accept that you'll become frustrated, and try and learn to occasionally harness it to your benefit rather than allow it to discourage your effort. Again, I hope this advice was helpful and that you continue to pursue a life of art making, I am cheering for you. -J

I know this was posted a while ago, but I have been thinking about it ever since and wanted to submit some kind of reply to it. Firstly, I do thank you for the consideration of asking. As blatant as it may be, there is a modicum of respect in requesting charity, especially since there's a good chance that you've since acquired my work (and the work of others) for no cost anyway. To answer your question, no, it wouldn't cost me much to hand over my work to you for free. However, I don't think, you've considered what it might cost you. See, the one thing I can't build or sell is the same thing that actually makes my tools function- which is your effort. Effort is the price of creativity, and one which cannot be acquire freely. My brushes will never make you good, creative, or produce successful work- that burden is entirely on you and your own tenacity. Consider the insubstantial price of the brushes as a small ante on your willingness. Because I dare say, if the effort to cover that cost is too great...then the mountains you need to climb in a life of creative pursuit will be insurmountable. I am certain this is not what you wanted to read, but I think it's more valuable than anything I can sell you. Know that if you do desire to climb those mountains, I am in your corner and rooting for you- I hope my tools can stand as a testament to that. Regards, -J
