I originally did this in Illustrator but it was missing something and needed more work so spent the last few days redoing it in AD although I did use the main underlying shapes, seemed pointless doing those again. It's a good improvement on the original. Being so long and thin it loses a lot of detail at low res even on the close up though.
 
 
 
 

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I have a new gallery for my book cover art. All works are created using aphoto (or sometimes aDesigner or both). The Doe's are some working examples, I will add more pictures gradually.

Greetings to all creatives and developers :)

To be honest, I've never tried Affinity Photo for digital painting. I usually work in PS or Manga Studio. But today I was testing some brush settings of Photo and came up with this quick portrait. I've always tried to emulate the traditional mediums when painting digital, so I tend to work my digital paintings with that natural a la prima feel... working in one layer and mixing pencils and 'gouache'.
 
Here's the result:
 

 
I think I'll use Photo for more digital painting. It runs pretty smooth and fluid. It is pretty fun to create brushes too, very fewer settings compared with other painting software, but at the same time those boundaries makes you create some nice brushes more quickly. 
 
Hope you all dig it!

I think we all need to start adding "affinity" tags to all new work posted on Dribbble would be a great way to locate and gather it all

Thank you so much for the invite!!! Can't wait to post my first shot :)

Amazing work, Nadia... consider yourself drafted. Have fun over there :)

Just realised I've got 2 Dribbble invites if anyone wants them! Just post some of your work or links to your work to be in the running :)

Hi,
 
For my fourth try in AD I wanted to illustrate at Omega Speedmaster watch. Think it worked out well :-). Still a few glitches here and there :-(
 
The hardest to figure out how to make was the wristband with the try to make it look woven. I did it with a costume made brush I made.
 
I am still amazed how well AD performs. Great to get under the skin of the software. I set my self these challenges (HTC Phone, Nexus phone, Bulb and this) so that I would be sure to really learn to use AD, not just fooling around.
 
Compared to how I usually does these illustrations Photoshop (Vector Layers), then AD is by far the easiest.
 
Please enjoy!
 
If anybody is interested I can upload the original AD file.  UPDATE! I have added the AD original file also now.

Hi Folks,
I'm Neil, a long time Serif software user... I've recently ordered a Mac (having been used to Windows) and it arrives today between 4 and 5 :) Once I've figured out how to turn it on I shall be grabbing myself a copy of Affinity! From the reviews I've been reading Matt and the rest of the team have created something awesome!
I've been needing an excuse to spend more time doing illustrations so this will be perfect... looking forward to getting my teeth into it :)
See you in the forums!

Thanks Matt, just getting used to the Mac, it feels quite intuitive so don't think it'll take long... then to Affinity and beyond! :)

hello friends of this wonderful group
I want to share with you the joy I feel in using this program. Unfortunately I can not draw well, I've never succeeded. But this software is really fantastic and so I challenged my imagination and I created some draft (I found on pinterest a few items that have inspired me) blending them with my imagination .....   I share them with you, thanks and good day to all !!!!

I've got a few Dribbble invites... let me know where I can find your Dribbble profiles and I'll draft you :)
 
Remember once you're there to sing the praises of Affinity ;)

Again....Thanks you so much Neil!

Thank you very much Neil, that's a good gesture of yours.

Sweet! may your cup be full, your women plentiful and you, pockets never touch! ( ahh why can't he  just say thank you? lol) 

Cheers!!
 
As promised, here's another critter created solely in Affinity Designer.  Had to put in a colour background as the white clouds werena showing up. Hope you guys like it!
