nullpointer Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I ran across this technique today and have zero clue how I could duplicate this technique in Affinity Designer. A & B layers are combined to create C. At first I thought B was a stroke but I was wrong, it is a shape (curves) with a fill. How the heck did they do this so precisely? No idea how layer B was created. Any guidance would be MUCH appreciated!!! I've also include the original design where I snagged a portion for the A B C example below. tiara-1301868.svg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy05 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 You can create object A with a stroke on it, then use -> layer -> expand stroke. This will convert the stroke into the object B (not a stroke anymore). Quote »A designer's job is to improve the general quality of life.

It looks to as though C is just B superimposed on A.
