I used to use Illustrator and Photoshop to create frames for animation in mobile games. I did the majority of my work in Illustrator, specifically because it gave me super smooth lines and control over curves etc. Affinity Designer is gonna be the closest thing you’ll get next to Illustrator and is a very capable programme in my opinion. Are you going to be using Spine to animate as a matter of interest?

Affinity Designer for iPad - 1.9.0
BarKeegan replied to Patrick Connor's topic in News and Information
Just sharing something here with the new release. I might be getting ahead of myself... but I’m pretty sure this had been an issue for me on the iOS version at least: when drawing a Stroke with a tapered width and rounded end points, I found that it would fall apart after Expanding Stroke ( broken edges, too many generated points, artefacts etc). no longer...behold! Might not seem like much to some, but this means that Designer is now a legitimate logo creation tool for me on the go. Perfect smooth curves are essential for a logo that might appear at large scales ( ya don’t want embarrassing bumps showing up on a billboard for the world to see) FullSizeRender.mov -

It’s in the stroke dialogue box, above or below the Graph Editor, should be a little ‘bar’ with a line on it, click that to save a ‘style’ of line (doing this from memory, as not beside my desktop right now) I use it for tapering lines in my illustrations, so I can continuously apply the same line style to different parts of a character design, without having to continuously recreate that style

Designer will get you smoother lines, with vector graphics you can rescale to any size without loss of resolution, once your happy with the outcome, you can switch to whichever raster based animation tool you’re using like AE. dpi will only effect print, so 72dpi will be fine, just make sure the pixel dimensions of your canvas are large enough

I’ve heard the Moshi screen protectors are best of both worlds

I used to use Illustrator religiously, and miss a lot of functions, but had to switch to Designer because I couldn’t justify paying for Adobe’s subscription. Despite the fact I’m pining for certain features in the iOS version of Designer, it’s a great programme, from an illustration point of view at least.
