Is this brush/pen tool available in Designer or Photo?


Recommended Posts

There are brush and pen types available in the "Concepts" , "Painter" and "Huion Sketch" app on my Samsung tablet that give the results in the attached image. You start at point A and follow a curved left to right path and end at point B. The curved loops either side of the AB axis are automatically filled with color.  Some apps call it a fill pen/brush another calls it a leaf brush. I actually though I came across this function in Designer or Photo when I was experimenting with them when I first got them 6 months.  I must have been mistaken because I can't find it now using various search methods. Is a similar tool available in Affinity?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Zakerg:)

The Pen Tool has a ‘Use Fill’ option (on the Context toolbar) that will produce the effect you’re looking for.

AD's Pencil Tool also has a "Use Fill" option that will make shapes like that, & do so an a more fluid brush-like way (so you don't have to keep clicking to add nodes like with the Pen Tool).
