Josie Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 I know I use the ellipse tool but how do I make them look,like in the in the form of a cookie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted January 29, 2022 Staff Share Posted January 29, 2022 Hi Josie, It may help to visualise the shapes that makeup the image. In this case its 3 circles over the top of one another offset slightly each time with a black stroke applied to each. If you look at the layer panel in the following screenshot you should see how this can be done in Affinity using the Ellipse tool. The rest of the details can be drawn using the same techniques used to create the cookie however you may need to try other shapes for the mouth etc. Thanks C Alfred 1 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

And the colour’s a bit on the bright side: try changing it to a medium brown, and put a smaller ellipse on top using a lighter brown to give you the shaded edge that you see in your reference image.

Alfred Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 If you inspect the reference image you should be able to see that the shading is achieved by using a darker shade of brown for the main ellipse and putting a smaller and lighter ellipse on top, slightly offset and with a Gaussian Blur effect applied to soften the edge.

Josie Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 If affinity designer for iPad doesn’t have an offset tool where I can make the shading for the design how can I do it? Because iPad has a lot less features in it then the computer seems to have. Making it way more complicated then it needs to be. ‘So how can I create a design without half of the features in affinity designer for the iPad? Can’t find the offset tool anywhere in affinity designer when using my iPad. Please help. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josie Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Ok could you show me how to do that because I don’t know. I am a visual learner. Got to see how it’s done before I do it so I can do it the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 How do I create the shaded part with the ellipse? Which is that very small spot to the right, can’t figure it out. I’ve tried every which way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Martin Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 1. Select it 2. Copy it 3. Paste it inside 4. Move and edit the inner shape theres few other ways to do this as well, this one is quite simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad, Josie, but I think they would look better if the stroke on the top part were the same width as on the other two. And you might want to move the eyes and mouth up a bit.
