[LEGACY: Official Affinity Designer Video Tutorials (70+)]

Hi guys! I'm trying to create a feather icon, and have constructed the basic shape using several shapes with the pen tool. I'm trying to cut the white triangles out of the black shape, so that I have a vector feather shape. I tried messing around with the add, subtract tools etc but it never seemed to give me the result I wanted. I'm sure there's a simple solution, just eludes me.

 

See images for all the shapes in play:

Hi there, I've trying to export one layer using the Export persona. I've created a slice as per the video tutorial. but the slice doesn't cover the whole layer. As you can see in the image, the top and bottom parts of the shape are cut off, and also the sides slightly. I want to export the layer at 256 x 256.

Thanks for that. I'm almost finished my free trial and will be purchasing the full software, and working through all the video tutorials.

 

Is there a list of the major known bugs that I can refer to in future before posting a question?

Hi guys, thanks for these great videos. Working through them now.

 

Unfortunately I seem to be running into the same issue that a couple of posters on the Vimeo page had.

 

 

Regarding the combining of the teardrop and top shape, when I merge them using the Add button to make a curve it's fine. However, holding Alt to make a compound causes the images to combine strangely.

 

I've uploaded three images here - before merging with both shapes selected, then two after. The results vary depending on where the teardrop shape is placed.
