affinity designer Huge vector tablet drawing improvements with 1.10

[Dazmondo77]

I know a lot of users are having major problems, but for me 1.10 speed increases as made massive improvements for vector comic style illustration. With every release since 1.0 I've had a shot at seeing how far I could get when trying to use the pen tool or pencil tool before bombing Designer or infinite beachball, the first few versions where just way too laggy to use, but I'm guessing it was 1.5 or 1.6 which saw improvements which enabled nice fluent lines when drawing on my tablet monitor (cheap cintique wannabe) the problem had been since around 1.5 that it would only let me draw in the comic style, using lots of small shaped strokes, for around five minutes before infinite beachball which was unusable - Just ran a test and this technique is working GREAT to the point I can relax and crack on and enjoy working.

I thought I'd use this technique and see how far I get and have a crack at a character 'Chico Chung' (an evolved superhero Emperor Penguin) from an album cover I did a few years back for the band Emperor Chung, who at one point looked like they where taking off, playing Download festival, but have since disbanded - the original characters featured on the cover where all drawn in a sketchbook then scanned and coloured in photoshop - Completed the whole thing in a couple of hours with no slowdowns or beachballs 👌 now I could do the whole album cover in Publisher as vector .....
