SuperUser Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hello, I was wondering how do you create something like this in Affinity Designer? I am mostly interested in shading of the windmill and sheeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It’s probably been done with lots of short lines to simulate shading, similar to the effect on the windmill tail but a bit denser. I like this style, a kind of etch or engraving style. You could emulate it with a dry media brush but doing the lines would be a nicer effect. Here is an example file, I made a rotor, nested some lines and used a pencil brush, then I made the rotor a symbol. I think the lines are a bit formal and would probably be a bit rougher but this is just to give you an idea. windmill etching.afdesign Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
