Hi. This is my first serious attempt with Affinity Designer and 2D vector drawing, up today I have ever done 3D Graphics and 2D Pixel Art and Raster images. It is a Fan Art of Parodius 1988 game from Konami, in particular the level 1 intermediate boss, the infamous pirate cat ship. I have put a lot of effort to recreate the original game humor, especially in the desperate facial expressions of the penguins on the pirate ship mast... I have taken as reference material only a pixel screenshot from the arcade game, and I have completely reimagined it in vector graphics. Some brushes were used, but the project is mainly vector, all made in Affinity Designer. No other reference material taken into account, only the original pixel art of the game itself. Some detail were added, like the Moon and the cannon ball shrouded in smoke. Comments are very welcome Bye 😄

A tribute to Captain Harlock. Made with Affinity Photo on Windows. Bye

Been reading Spy X Family lately and ended up loving it. Just wanted to make a fun little drawing of the cutest character in the manga, Anya. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/aYgyGq

Wanted to work on something a bit lighter with finished lineart inbetween some heavier projects, so I drew Alita from Alita Battle Angel. Really digging some of the brushes that got added in 1.8, which I used for this piece. ^^ https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8eB8E6

Hello there iam new user in Affinity,sorry if my english so bad i switch my PS into Affinity when i handle a project(Manga Scanlation) i use an action(in now in affinity thats feature named macro) I want to rebuild my action to be a macro this is an action(www.mediafire.com%2Ffile%2Fflsr4yr2awy625b%2FBubble_Mask.atn%2Ffile&event) but i have a problem I can't rebuild an action there is a tutorial for make a that action if you want watch a video,you can watch this video and this is a tutorial on the text(i think thats video and this text have any little different) I think this is the fastest way to clean the bubble text once you have a levelled image. It makes use of the "QuickWand" tool and the "Make Work Path" feature. Sorry for lack of help images, but this is basic.1) Use QuickWand with options: tolerance set high (128), contiguous, anti-alias, Sample All Layers2) Click white space in each bubble. (If any of the selection "leaks out" into the image, the bubble border is broken, so just undo the last quick wand, find the break, patch it with a brush, and (ctrl-shift-d) reselect what you have already.)3) You can double check none of the bubbles are "leaking", by going to Channels, pushing Q (quick mask mode) and making "Grey" channel invisible. Then you will see a simple black/white mask of the bubbles. If everything is ok, hit Q again and exit quickmask mode.4) Execute "Make work path", TOLERANCE= 0.5. If you're not familiar with this command, you can find it by: if quick wand tool is the active tool, just right click on the canvas, and it will be in the context menu; or you can find it from the Paths window if you click on its option menu.5) Make all layers invisible so you can see the paths clearly.6) Switch to Pen tool (P). Hold CTRL+SHIFT keys down and then select all the bubble border paths (and not the text) (this is what makes this method fast); don't do this by clicking on each border, just drag a small box over the border so you select some part of the border.7) Once all the paths of the bubble borders are selected, right click on the canvas, and from the context menu choose "Make selection"😎From the menu, Select->Modify->Contract (either 1 or 2 pixels), to preserve the smooth bubble border9) Then switch to Marquee Tool (M), right click on canvas to select from the context menu "Fill...", Use WHITE, everything else normal.10) Deselect (ctrl+d), and delete the work path that was created. You are done.) can someone help me iam very confuse with this problem Thx.

Greetings everyone! I just purchased Affinity Designer yesterday and I'm slowly learning how to use it. I do have a specific set of questions though. I've searched the internet high and low for the answer and I'm just not finding anything specific to the artwork I want to do. I love the comic/anime style of art however I'm trying to translate that to AD since I would like to incorporate the vector style. Right now I'm experimenting on the image I have included. I have a general idea of the line arts composition but not sure how to go about it with AD. I've started with the hair but I'm not sure if I should do each curve separate, or do the bangs in one go? I want to mimic the style in the image as close as possible. All the line art videos I've been able to dig up show different styles and much simpler drawings. Any help getting me started would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to reading your comments. Thank in advance!

Below is my first try at a Manga Girl's face. Not done yet. Helping me to learn vector drawing. One thing I think would be nice to have is a spray can in pixel persona.

Attempted a manga anime style type drawing. I'm not quite happy with the colours but I don't think I will improve on this unless I spent another few hours on it. I've included the affinity file as well so you can see how certain I've done certain things. I'm not an artist so there might be a few things that I could have done better, or more efficiently.
