Hi, Just recently discovered Affinity Photo and so glad I have. Been working in Photoshop for many, many years and was wanting a change. i.e., a desire to move away from Adobe's subscription based business model. Digitally hand crafting a painting with AP is pure Magic! This image started as a graphite/pencil drawing which I scanned into AP. As you can see, I flipped the image and made some anatomical and perspective corrections to the head with the liquify persona and then went to town hand painting the image. Initially, I used some of my favorite PS brushes which I imported but soon began to discover that the Default brushes that come with AP are far superior to my PS collection of brushes that I collected over the last 15+ years. So I completed the painting primarily with the default brush selections. Here are two images. 1. the final painting 2. the image as it developed. Let me know what you think. All the best
