Ash Eldritch reacted to Nanette2024 in Hippie Guy
Hello! This is my first time posting and using the software. I have been using the alternative for many years and decided to give this a try. I found it challenging at times, but also in love with it too. I will look forward to creating more art in the future.

Ash Eldritch got a reaction from Archangel in The Mirror Twins
Or you could do what I do, when it comes to shadows, work out your light direction, (put down some guide lines if it helps) then simply draw it with the pen tool. It takes far less time than faffing about trying to distort the original image and looks far more natural. This especially true if your shadow is being cast on more than one object or something other than just a flat floor.
I tend to softly graduate the fill and use the "multiply" blend mode. Usually I also add a second, darker, area closer to the subject.

Ash Eldritch reacted to Art51 in Alita Battle Angel poster - Hand-drawn raster art
Just wanted to share a recent alternative movie poster I created for the film, Alita Battle Angel.
The poster is completely hand-drawn in Affinity Photo 2. As I've noted before, I enjoy the hand-drawn and coloured posters by the likes of Drew Struzan and contemporary artists like Paul Shipper and Kyle Lambert.
This work was completed primarily using the Natural Pencil 2B brush (the underlying sketch) and the Round Soft Brush (colouring over and clouds) with more Natural Pencil 2B coloured pencil over the top for the highlights and detail. There is some use of texture brushes such as spatters and custom dust etc. There are no fancy filters or tricks used. I treat the canvas and drawing as though I were working with real physical media and so start with a scanned 'paper' background. I use an XP Pen pen display connected to my MacBook Pro as my workstation.

Ash Eldritch reacted to Archangel in If a Picture Paints a Thousand Words Then Many Letters Speak Volumes - Mosaic Painitng
Another mosaic-style painting which I have created using DAP and Affinity Photo.
Based on a photo on Pixabay. The video was rendered in DAP using time-lapse and edited in VideoProc AI.
Title "If a Picture Paints a Thousand Words Then Many Letters Speak Volumes."

Ash Eldritch got a reaction from MikeMcE in Affinity Photo Watermarks
Perhaps I'm missing the point here but a brush/pattern tool implies having to spend time adding those watermarks. Even if it's a short amount of time wouldn't it be more productive to create a watermarked file that could be imported and overlayed, on any piece of work, in seconds? 🤔
