This is my first work in Affinity Designer.
Didn't expected to enjoy this software this much after only few days of using it.
I call this one "Red Moon"
I hope you'll like it.

Great start Dzonila!

I have been wanting to do my own version of an Art Nouveau piece for awhile and I just happen to come across an old poster that was originally created by Henri Privat-Livemont and I thought it would be a good one to recreate with vectors using Designer. I added quite a bit more shading and some other minor things here and there. I normally don't use any effects in my work as I prefer to keep things purely vector but with this one I used two effects to help soften the colours on the face. The effects can easily be removed and it doesn't take away from the picture much but in the end I decided that it looked better with the effects. I've also included a view of the outlines that were used.

Just wanted to share with you something i've been doing with Affinity Designer recently. I'm in love with black and white these lightless winter days...

Good morning. 
Your work is reminiscent of a Japanese panel.
The chosen colours (grey/bordeaux blend in nicely.
The shades on the face are subtle. (May be, slightly less shiny on the nose but very little).
Reduce also the red dominance in the eyes to soften the face.
Your beginnings are promising.
Yours sincerely.
