  1. Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind words. All the textures on the station were created by me using custom brushes. For the lights I used a square that had random luminance. I drew large blanks of this texture and then placed them within the vector shapes. The planet was from the stock tab, I initially was using it as a placeholder as I often do, but it worked so well that I left it in.
  2. I've come up with a workflow that seems to work for me. I spend my mornings sketching abstract shapes. I draw them the old-school way with pencil and paper. I cut out the “good” ones and keep them in a folder for inspiration. I then take a digital picture of the one I want to work with and place it into Designer. After recreating the shape I start to see what I can come up with. I've posted the original sketch and the final product. I never know where these drawings are going to go, but that's what I like… the journey, and hopefully a decent destination.
  3. Here's my third attempt at a single frame story. I'm thoroughly enjoying the ability to use both vector and bitmap techniques together. This allows me to not have to plan too far ahead and go with which technique works best. Not having to worry about workflow issues makes images like this possible for me. I don't really know what I'm creating until it's finished.
  4. Thank you Jason, I appreciate the encouragement. My days of doing anything for professional purposes are long gone, but I do like the fact that you're watching out for font abuse.
  5. I’ve been trying out V2 on the iPad. I traditionally draw single frame cartoons, now I'm shifting to single-frame stories. Getting use to the interface change has been a bit time consuming, but overall it's been a positive experience. I'm looking forward to seeing how the iPad platform evolves. Working while sitting on the couch instead of an office desk is a major bonus. I hope you enjoy my submission.
  6. Thank you. I’m new to the iPad version and that workflow was confusing. Nice work getting a fix out so quickly.
  7. Thank you MmmMaarten, much appreciated. No need to worry about the font, that's my fault for not switching it to a generic first before exporting, that way it would be in the majority of people's systems. Pick what works for you. Thanks for making the previews, I'm new to posting here, so it didn't dawn on me to do that. Everything in those files is open to change.
  8. Here's a 9 frame square configuration. The Export Persona worked well at outputting each individual frame and a Master file of all 9. Cartoon 9 Frame - Generic.aftemplate
  9. Hello, I draw cartoons as a hobby. Over time I've developed a couple of templates that I use to help get me started. I named them "Generic" just to say that I've taken out all of the personal layers that I normally include. I hope you find them helpful. Regards Mark Cartoon 1 Frame - Generic.aftemplate Cartoon 4 Frame - Generic.aftemplate
  10. I’m sorry. At least you know what to watch for now. 😃👍
  11. Hello : ) I draw cartoons as a hobby. A long time ago I worked as a 3D Motion Graphics Animator in the television commercial industry. I was firmly entrenched in Adobe products along with Maya. After I retired I started drawing using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro as I couldn't afford to buy the Adobe suite. A few years ago... 5 maybe?? I discovered Affinity and immediately bought everything I could get my hands on. I love how well Designer, Photo, and Publisher all work together seamlessly. If I could have bounced back and forth between apps as I can now while I was working, my life would have been SO much easier. I'm in the process now of shifting from creating my illustrations in Photo to Designer... with help from Photo when I need it. The goofy image below is mostly Designer with help from a Photo custom brush for the broken shell pieces.
