  1. Hello to everybody in the forum,

    I'm getting started with landscape illustration. Today I share with you my illustration of Gdynia, the city where I live in Poland.

    The illustration was done with Affinity Designer.

    I would invite everyone to comment thoughts and feedbacks, or to share own works.

    This is my first landscape and maybe your works will teach or inspirate... :)

     

    Cheers

    Francky

  2. Hello to everybody in the Affinity forum

     

    I'm sharing with You vector illustration of Mario Balotelli, the star of football now playing in OGC Nice club.

    Can illustrate people in hundreds different way I think, this is my own way...

    The drawing was done in Affinity Designer, only the background and the OGC Nice logo are raster images.

    Every comment is welcome, reply with your avatar or people drawings, opinions.

     

    Below a detail.

    No worries @Alfred  I've just done a very quick and crude mock-up for myself (see attached) and I'm not convinced that it would add much either now but maybe that's just my lack of illustration skills. @Francky will be able to do something much better than me but if they don't look right it could spoil the whole thing so it could be best to keep it as is.

    Thank You for the demo, I get your idea now :)

    I agree with @Kasper-V that it looks like a piece of marquetry and I can’t find anything negative to say about it. I don’t agree with @GarryP (sorry, Garry!) about adding movement by tapering the clouds; for me, those lovely flamingos give the image all the movement it needs.

    Thank You for your feed back Alfred :)

    However gusto apart, moving clouds or static ones, all your feed backs are teaching how do better illustrations :)

    Thank You :) !!

    It looks very like a piece of marquetry, with the simple shapes and -- especially -- the colours. Nice composition too.
    Sorry Francky -- I can't think of anything negative to say about it!

    Thank You Kaspev-V :)

    Your feed backs are very very important, which are telling me the direction for next works, what to do better :)

    I agree with Kasper-V. The colours, composition and level of detail are great. It's also very nice that you have taken the time to make all of the birds different, rather than just making copies.

    The only thing I would add is that it might be better if the clouds tapered to a point at the bottom of one side to make it look like they are being pushed along by the wind, rather than just being static. I think that would add a little more "movement" to the image.

    As an extra added detail, you could try and find out whether flamingos would - or would not - fly into the wind as that could tell you which side of the clouds to taper (tapering the side into the wind).

    All-in-all though, nice work.

    Wow GarryP :) thank You for the very nice suggestions!

    I will use your idea in next illustrations :)

  7. Hello Affinity fans :)

    Today I drawn flamingos, interesting long-legged birds.

    I have made not use of textures, patterns, pixel layers or brushes, I just wanted a very simple illustration, just shapes, pen and gradients.

    Give a look at the illustration, drawn in Affinity Designer and tell me what do you think, leave your feed backs, write positive and negative :)

    Thanks Ronnie! Glad you like my stuff.

     

    The noise is achieved in different ways for different creatures, sometimes I place a texture (image file) onto an object (say a creatures body) and turn the opacity waaaay down, sometimes it added to the brush (in colour settings) and painted on.

    Hey guys,

    About brushes, must take a look at the free brushes package that were downloadable and a lot of texture Affinity let available freely!

    Search around the macro pack, grade ui, tom-chalky-handcrafted-fonts-textures and textures+brushesh+skies for Affinity

    Indeed, if u ask me, this is the kind of stuff to solidly promote Affinity Designer worldwide.  :)

     

    (technical illustrators would be VERY interested.  :) ...and general public, too. ) 

    I'm really honored by your feedback. 

    However it would be great if someone takes this work seriously, for that purpose :)

    Top stuff.  Kudos !

    (specially impacting is how much accurately it renders the original photo !! )

    Thank you SrPx.

    A short history of my last months:

    On October 2016 my colleague at job told me about a new couple of programs, they are Affinity Photo and Designer.

    I was always searching for new programs that can suite my work.

    While trying the 10 days demo, I was astonished by the potentiality, features, user experience and intuitively of the two programs.

    Most of the ux is even better than Adobe.

    I dream of a world where you are valued just by the quality of your final works, independently of which software packages you use.

    In other words, Illustrator was too expensive, Inkscape yet too spartan even if it has potential, but Affinity is my final choice, I bought it.

  11. To me there's too difference of lights, between the background and the dress photo.

    The first layer needs more light. Also there is a difference of contrast. The first layers has much more contrast. The shadows too is important, from it depends the distance from background.

    I hope it helps.

    Best regards

    Hi Francky,

    Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

    If you are the only one using the program for commercial purposes in both your job (assuming you are the one in control of the computer on your job)  and home yes, you can install it on both. If someone else is also using the computer's at the company to produce work (commercial use) then no, you must acquire a license for yourself.

    Here's a link to the End User License Agreement for Windows (the terms are similar for the Macintosh).

     

    Thank You very much for the clear information.

    Best regards

    Francky
