I've been making my own art brushes for painting in Affinity Photo. Would love to have someone check them out and give me some feedback on how they work for another artist. Here's a link for them. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W1YCuQGewCndNiQeALm03srBUnvw1WwV/view?usp=sharing I'd like ask anyone who downloads them not to share them.

Art Brush
JimY posted a topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Can Affinity Designer create an Art Brush, as in Illustrator? Create a vector object and make it an ART brush that can then be applied to a stroke, while remaining a vector, and then Expanded back into the individual vector shapes for further modifications of those shapes. Attached jpeg is the sample I'm working on. The top image was created in Designer, which I copied into Illustrator and made it an Art Brush. I then applied that brush to the curved strokes below. Everything I've read about making brushes in Designer says that you need to make your art a png. This means it is no longer vector and its pieces cannot be modified later. You can see where it would be very time consuming to make those curved versions of the original art by hand. An Art Brush accomplished this in seconds. If Art Brushes are doable in Designer, please include a description or a link to the procedure. I'm really trying to make Designer my go-to vector app, but the more I use it, the more I need to go back to Illustrator to perform simple tasks. Shape Builder, Warp Options and Image Trace are also features I use frequently.
