Painting with watercolor can be very difficult because I was fighting the urge to make it clean and trim. Mimicking the water spread and blots make it even more interesting.

I tried some variations. Not so good, not so bad. Need some improvements.

Hi all! My first babysteps with Affinity, the car mostly done in Illustrator but the rest, a lot dots and spots and background done in pixelmode in my newly bought Affinity. I'm not a pro but an amateur and I have a couple years drawed pictures over my hometown Nyköping in Sweden. Here is the latest. Though not town but outside. Sorry for the english it's not my first language.
(why I bought affinity is because I bought a new mac to replace my 12 years old one and the old Adobe suite I had did'nt work in the new mac so, and now they had begun with monthly payed system that I as an poor amateur don't afford so I searched for a cheaper program, Affinity is very promising though I miss a few thing, maybe they come in future) 
Best Regards Jochum

I do hundreds of the history portraits, first in AP then imported into AD where I use half a dozen export sizes.
I used the paint mixer brush for Rodin, the rest mostly regular brush.
 I really wish the paint mixer brush worked better. I do have my wacom table  mixer brush set for C & L. But the mixer brush is just not as good as painter or photoshop, which I've mostly given up for Affinity Photo. I do have hope that it will get better in future versions

it's not me.... 

Bike innit.... drawn to then be incorporated into a logo design for another designer... I think she uses Illustrator!! Spit!!

Classic old-school airbrushing. I like it.

Jag vill göra porträttlika bilder med klara ytor för ljus och skugga. Jag vill att det framgår hur bilden har byggts upp av dessa enkla detaljer. Bifogar ett par exempel.
 

Välkommen till forumet.

Sort of comic style portrait...

When you can't think of anything else to do try self portrait in vector......

A much-loved grand-daughter. First attempt at a portrait using Affinity Designer.

Affinity Designer vector illustration of my daughter at 19-days old.
 
No pixels or vector brushes used here, just good old fashioned strokes and filled paths. Masks, transparency tool, layer FX and blend modes used where needed and a couple of adjustment layers to tweak the colours at the end.
 
I'd guess there's around 2,000 elements make up this image - around 500 are individually positioned head hairs, and many of the individual wool strands are actually three strokes twisted together too which ups the object count. With all the blurs and depth of field stuff, it nearly kills my MacBook and takes a good 20+ seconds for the screen to redraw after every zoom or edit on high quality view settings - spent a lot of time in wireframe and low quality mode at the end. When I get a faster Mac, I'd like to add some of the less important detail that's missing to make it more convincing  (e.g. the almost invisible eyebrow hairs, more detail to eyes etc.) and tweak some of the bits that are annoying me.
 
No idea how long it took as I've been working on it on and off in my spare time (which is practically non-existent with a baby) since December - I'd estimate 30-50 hours.
 
Anyway, hope you like it!

The face was created from scratch in AP, the tattoos were drawn in AD. Progress of portrait visible at: https://communicats.blogspot.com/2017/08/digital-portrait-of-ns-captain-world.html
 

Hi, 
One of my latest illustration, a self-portrait. Any feedback will be appreciated :).

Feed back much welcomed. This is my first attempt at a vector self portrait. I’ve learnt a lot of techniques doing it. 

Today i finished my first vector portrait in Affinity Designer
