Digital oil painting with Affinity Photo


Gregory-CJ

Recommended Posts

Hi Digital Painters!,

I have been using Affinity photo for the last ~ 7 years and have tried a variety of approaches to digital painting with this software.

My latest approach which I find successful, involves three main steps.

1. Define the flat shape of the head ( in this example) using grayscale and the default digital pencils... I especially like the 4B natural pencil and the Carpenter's pencil and a few blending brushes I created by reducing the strength of the default painting brush.

2 Create the form  of the head by introducing  light and dark to create volume and light and shade to create the lighting/luminosity across the surface of face,  again using grayscale.

3. Add color- use gradient maps as a non destructive approach to adding colour.

3b. final tweaks.

Hope you find this helpful.

All the best

Gregory
