Itam, Thank you for sharing your drawing process.

Very cool. You have a great eye. Can you produce some tutorials on how you did some of them? Your style is worth sharing.

The bird and lizard images have an almost illustrative quality that I recall seeing in high-end photo books. They are really wonderful.

Wonderful image.

Abinash Mohanty, Very nice art work. The style reminded me of The Beattle's Yellow Submarine animation. When looking at GarryP's link, it appears that I am not the only one reminded of the cool art style.

Very cool. Reminds me of the days when people opened and tinkered with their own electronics.

Cute.

Cool characters. Nice combination.

Don, Your creations are consistently beautiful. Keep it up.

almeida_tercero, At first glance, it really looks like a simple elegant cup of coffee. Looking closer and the subtle use of gradients for shadows and reflections is really impressive. It would be great if you could create a tutorial video showing how you did it. Jhonatan Silva has been doing a great job on his YouTube Channel: Vectorize Creative Illustration.

Alfred, I think olmi57 meant that he did not use pixel layers. His creation really is impressive.

Great work. It would be really neat if you could offer a tutorial video of how you crafted these objects.

H John, You raise good question. There is an education fair use within the copyright laws. We are not selling the device, nor selling the training lesson that the image appears in. Rather, teaching researchers what the device looks like and how it should be used.

I create eLearning lessons for a research university. Sometimes that includes creating lessons on how to use certain lab equipment. There was one old piece of equipment and it was in a location that made taking a photograph very difficult. Normally i want to be able to have an uncluttered view the of the hardware and remove the background. that way i can place text around the equipment. Often I can find an online photo taken by a manufacturer on a white background. Since this equipment was so old I could not find one. But i did see a photo taken by another organization created for their surplus store. The original photo had a very busy background with logos visible through the glass and reflecting on the metal work-surface. I pulled the image into Affinity Photo and did what i needed to do and it looked good. I then decided to have a little bit of minor fun which included replacing the background, added lights, and a researcher behind the glass. I would not call what i did art. Just a small practical use of Affinity Photo.

Neat. I really like how you added texture.

Untuvakana Adorable image. If you have a series of images along this theme you should consider submitting them to BoardPanda. They are a great way to display art.

Very cool.

Great work. I like how you integrated the hanger that we see in one of your previous images.

VectorWhiz Very interesting style. If I saw it elsewhere I would have assumed it was created with a traditional (non-digital) medium. Including snapshots of the image as it was being created is greatly appreciated. It really is amazing the many different styles of art that can be created with Affinity Designer, when in the hands of a skilled artist such as yourself.

olmi57 Your image reminds me of the wonderful box art that was printed on model kits from my youth. No matter how hard i tried, i could never make the models look as good at the artwork. Back then there was no computer illustration. It was all hand-painted.

Don,, Looking at the images, i would have thought they were highly edited photos; except for your tag of Affinity Designer. Your creations really are inspiring to those of us that are slowly learning. The cable car in front of the bridge over the red sky is wonderful. Are you a self-taught digital artist? Did you start with a different application like Adobe Illustrator? How long have you been studying digital illustration?

Such is the circle of life. Predator and Prey.

Amazing photo-realistic illustration. If you did not specify that you used AD (which i assume is Affinity Designer) i would have thought it was a highly edited image created in Affinity Photo. Are you an entirely self-taught artist? Did you study digital illustration? If so, how did you go about learning to create such an image?

Fantastic images. The colors and compositions are really amazing. I look forward to seeing more samples of your work.

Thank you. I drew one mouse and then duplicate it, flipped, and adjusted size. It’s very rare to have lab mice that look different in a cage.
