Drawing a flower
kufloyd replied to kufloyd's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
wow..that's pretty amazing considering it took you 30 minutes. so you traced the black outline just by switching between looking at the .jpg and using the pen tool to draw the shape? -
I'm curious how you would attempt to draw this flower in AD: 1) Draw with pen tool 2) Draw using a graphic tablet and then trace using pen tool 3) Draw using pre-defined shapes like crescent etc 4) other options? I realize that this depends on your level of expertise, but I'm just trying to understand different approaches that people might have...thanks.

My first proper piece of gfx design in ad ( not inc web work)
kufloyd replied to jonfuller1004's topic in Share your work
pretty nice design! if you wouldn't mind posting the AD file, I'm curious to learn how you applied the gradients/transparency to the shapes...thanks. -
As part of my learning process, I'm trying to make this: https://www.google.com/search?q=ojai+valley+defense+fund+logo&espv=2&biw=1536&bih=759&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiIrN-6rfrRAhXFhlQKHYinCK4Q_AUIBigB#imgrc=yhXvvzbE3qDMzM: I have a question about aligning the text: I drew a shape using the pen tool and tried to match it to the contours of the circle as best as I could (and then used artistic text tool to insert the text). I think I could improve upon the shape though. Short of trying to redraw it with the pen tool, what other options are there to get a curve that matches the contours of the circle? thanks. ovdf.afdesign

Filling a donut

was just trying to learn alternative ways to do it...two circles did the job great too :) -

thanks for reminding me about donut topology :) -
Filling a donut
kufloyd replied to kufloyd's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
thanks...actually what I'm trying to do is fill inside the donut, not in its ring. I could create two circles instead of a donut and color the interior circle but thought there might be an easier way to do it with the donut... -

I'd like to fill a donut shape so that the top part of it has a blue fill (with a wavy-shape to the fill). I created a blue shape, did Cut on it, and tried to do paste-inside the donut, but it pastes the whole shape over the donut, as opposed to fill it inside a part of the donut. Is there a better way to do this? thanks. ovdf.afdesign

that is a helpful explanation. I was able to apply transparency using your suggestion. Here's what I'm trying to do though: I'm trying to have the center of flowers be a little diffused (by putting another object that has transparency applied to it) towards the center of each petal...sort of like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=bridging+portland+to+the+world&espv=2&biw=1536&bih=759&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj_ntri-_LRAhXLrVQKHVQJAPwQ_AUICCgD#tbm=isch&q=bridging+portland+to+the+world+coffee+cup&imgrc=Is9qIFwHF0wCpM: When I do that using masks, what happens is that the cropped object covers the whole flower. What I would like to do instead is have 5 small transparency objects placed in the center of each petal so that they create a nice diffused feel to it...what's the best way to do it? thanks. coffeecup.afdesign

I'm trying to create a compound which is made of an ellipse and a rounded rectangle. The ellipse has a white-colored stroke while the rectangle doesn't have any stroke. When I make a compound of the two shapes (selecting both shapes, Alt and then Add), it either adds the stroke to the entire compound (if rectangle is on top layer) or it doesn't add any stroke at all (if ellipse is top layer). How do I get it so that in the compound, the rectangle doesn't have a stroke while the ellipse maintains its stroke? thanks. sandwich.afdesign

thanks all for your replies. It seems like I need to create 3 different objects for it to have different colors. I tried it and it works. One question though - how do you get the objects to line up perfectly next to each other? I can adjust the edges using node tool to have it be right next to each other and move it around so it lines up, but are there more efficient ways to do this? I attached an example to show how curve2 overlaps with curve3 a little bit in the pizza4 layer. thanks. kombucha.afdesign
