Artistwright Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Say you want you want to draw a crow bar, how would i shade it on the curved parts using the gradient tool. So far i know how to shade a circle or rectangle using the gradient feature. And designs ive done which needed shading on curves ive had to make a few seperate darker layers and then used a blur tool to make it look like a gradual shadow. Do any of you know how this can be done an easier way? Thanks in Advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justwilliam Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Have you tried playing around with Layer Effects - Inner Shadow? I just did a quickie test and it gave me an OK result with a rudimentary, smallish crowbar-like shape. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artistwright Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Im actually trying to recreate a motorbike in affinity designer, check out my instagram FANGPUNK, im close to finishing it, but learning alot along the way, there are lots of shapes and shading them has been a pain if they are not round or square.
