Josie Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 How would I make the design just the ice cream part? Thanks christinavv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The ice cream parts are just curvy shapes with solid fills and shading, quite similar to the kinds of examples you’ve asked about in your other threads. A Tear shape converted to curves and tweaked with the Node Tool would probably be a good place to start.

Josie Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 What about the ice cream swirls what would I do for those? Thanks christinavv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 They’re all just variations on a theme, aren’t they? Draw a curvy shape, tweak it to your liking, add a solid fill and apply shading so that it looks the way you want.

Josie Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 How would I do the fill in the brown ice cream design using the crescent tool in affinity designer? Ive tried every which way and none of it is working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 There are several ways to do that. Place such an image as a background image in a doc. Lock it and lower it's layer capacity so you still can see it, then use a pen or pencil and trace the shape form manually by hand. Use an autotracer for just that image part or the whole ice cream. Take over the autotraced curve for your drawing. Place such an image as a background image in a doc. Lock it and lower it's layer capacity so you still can see it. Then use the crescent tool and create one crescent which matches nearly that shape form of one of those. Use the corner tool to make the two sharp corners round. Copy the resulting crescent two times (so you have three of them). Arrange and overlap those 3 like shown on the ice. Select the three overlaping and adjusted crescents and perform a geometrical add to those 3 selected, so you will get one final curve. Adjust and position that final curve and gice it a fill color of your likings. Here's a quick & rough show up for point 3. via the ADe desktop version ... Capture_sichel.mp4 ... you'll need to do this (or steps of it) instead with the iPad version of ADe. Could also be done with cloud shapes instead, subtracting two cloud shapes and then by deleting some unwanted nodes etc. screencast_clouds.mp4 Though I believe the easiest would be still to redraw/retrace that manually by hand on an iPad with an iPad-Pencil!

All of the required options are available. The iPad version of AD has a Crescent Tool, a Cloud Tool, and a Corner Tool, and it has the same set of Geometry commands. v_kyr 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
