Vibe Design Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 In the vector based image manipulation software I currently try to replace with Affinity Designer, there is an effect called "Scribble" which lets one easily style fills and strokes in a scribbled look. Length, width and all that are customizable and they allow to create elements like the one in the image attached. I couldn't find such an effect in Designer so far, so did I miss it, or is there a way to recreate this effect with different methods?

Vibe Design Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 @v_kyr Thanks for your reply, I saw this thread as well, was just hoping for a different result to this question after 4 years... 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I think what should maybe perhaps work somehow in a similar fashion is to use and setup some scribble brush for line styles and varying the used brush line width then. - You have to give that some tryout.

Vibe Design Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 @v_kyr I was thinking about the same thing, but that wouldn't work for fills or did I miss something there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 No that won't work for fills, fills would then have to be emulated in some other suitable and vector complient way. Computer generated scribble fill of a vector graphic Scribble fill Hachures etc. Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I had a play around for half an hour or so and managed to come up with this in Photo (not Designer, unfortunately). It uses Procedural Textures and Displacement Maps (non-destructively), the green example is the ‘before’ image. The Displacement maps were created from the Procedural Texture Oils preset with a bit of Gaussian Blur. The black lines were grouped and given their own Displacement Map while the fills were given another slightly different one. It’s not quite what is wanted (nothing like it really), but it looks a little bit like someone has scribbled it and maybe useful to someone under certain circumstances or might give an idea for something else.

I wouldn't mind using a different Affinity App (or really any other App) but I need to recreate pretty much the exact style I mentioned as it's part of a Corporate Design. So unfortunately I don't have much room for variations... really appreciate your help, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all AD doesn't have or offer such an easy, ready to use and customizable vector based scribble effect.
