and so say all of us...

I lightened the logo, Andy. ZABANTI LIGHTEN.afdesign

To Affinity and beyond!

Awesome microphone video. If we are going to talk about stone masons, carpenters, painters and the like; then we are in the realms of cathedral building. Simple tools, i.e. single tasks can produce amazing works. this 3D software reminds me of a 64 pipe organ, looks easy, sounds easy but really gets the grey cells working overtime all produced by a very sophisticated piece of kit. And we all love the undo command (command z).

Automagically - new word or typo?

For some reason, I thought that these were book covers from the 1980's. Both contain the same identity, just like a prequel and sequel. The second image shows much more development and depth...which is what you would expect from part two. Love the starburst on the 'E'.

You may have missed it, but the people carrier in the picture above is a Ford Galaxy :D :D :D

What a few weeks you've had...the best of times; the worst of times. No matter how bad you feel about being orphaned, having your nerves settled and ego inflated makes it all worth while (Love to see the outcome and hear all about it, what did YOU learn?). Take the time out, reboot, rethink and return recharged. Can't wait to work with ya buddy! All the best. peter PS like the Instagram thing...draw a squiggle, gain an eejit! Pure genius, Edward de bono would approve, as do I! A couple of WIPS by Chris Van Cleve in Share your work, look for it this way and #7 is the post in question. To Quote Chris LOL No relation there. Dwarf vs Scotsman. Speaking of which, there's Renaissance Faire duo that travels around named the Drunken Scotsmen. They do a golf bit and their logo uses a similar picture to your avatar, retrograde. As for coloring, I figured I would have to leave the current as the top layer. It's the shapes beneath I'm niggling about. Sometimes I can see it, other times I fail miserably. I'll get there though.

At work, I have the details for a website (similar to Friday Free Ads, Loot etc), if you want I'll post the details next week, for the two big US airbases next week.

You should coco! How did the school visit go at the end of January? Hope they were gentle with you. :D Peter Ps there's a mention of drunken Scotsmen on the forum, this is something I deferred to your expertise, hope you don't mind; I wiil update the link when I find it ;) Found it! https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&fromMainBar=1

I'm in two minds about the title; as a I now reckon Cocoa the canine killer is much more dynamic...do you think this is better?

Well, now that you know there is a market for your talents: why not knock up a few samples and put them on your (friends or family's) vehicle and include a web link underneath? This hasn't reached/saturated Blighty yet and there are plenty of US military bases in the UK (pre made potential customers).

There are: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/9-tutorials/ as for the others, I won't give you the links, as I want you to trawl this forum, make friends and have fun. But if you use the search bar and look for The Pumpkin Tutorial, ronniemcbride (this is a paid for course), vimeo videos for starters: then you should be up to speed in no time. HTH peter PS if you want to be amazed by the power of AD, click on my Pinterest board below and look for the AD pages!

Well done on what you have produced. Oh yeah nice pic an' all. In a (Ford) Galaxy, far, far away...Pinned it! There is a craze in the US of putting stickers, in the rear windows of how many family members are in that brood wagon and family. You've got a great brand identity here. In space no one can hear you scream: but in the nursery, you can always wear earplugs :P

Great work lad. This just needs a barcode, price and issue date. Roll on Publisher. Do not abandon this project. It's looking good so far.

All part of the service! B) Is the Heal tool on the road map yet?

Now that's really funny!

I've just had a week's holiday getting rid of a cold shared between me and my other half :angry:

Get well soon, to Matt and family. Ps cartoonmike hasn't been feeling well either...maybe we should start a new board? Get well soon, good luck and best wishes, what do you think?

Hey! Did you see that? A cat called MattP crept in, then back out again :ph34r: :P

Get well soon Mike.

Psst! Anybody wanna knock off copy of AD? :ph34r: It's a bit rough and ready though! This one ticks both boxes, cat(o nine tail)s and pirates :P

Here comes the analogy: when working on paper you keep the pencils in one tin, the pastels in another. Then in a different area, you would have the liquids i.e paints, masking fluid, easel(?) and jar of muddy water. Now you wouldn't expect the pencil sharpener to be in the tin of acrylics, would you? So in a nutshell; you have wet and dry areas and that helps to keep things organised...well that's the theory anyway. BTW, I do know about watercolour based pencils.

Nice!
