Project Brush Inker 19
Extended the Inker Brush set for this project. This year concentrating on creating an INK Texture Toolkit with 30 new brushes and 200 supporting 'ink' seamless patterns. With the original Inker set I integrated some of them into the third version of PB 19 'Inker' set. Some of these are available in resources here

Changed the way project Brush sets work by making seamless pattern toolkits available to all existing brushes and making use of a much simpler Base Set. This has been completed for PB 19 Inker | PB 17 'Concept' and PB 29 'Grass'

Also extended Project Brush 30 'Comic Grunge' with an additional 40 seamless patterns. (now 80 in total)

Idea that each brush has access to 200 + 80 Seamless inking patterns! Both raster and vector

You have a pretty unique style. I might even recognize your style from many others now, which I think is a great thing

Thanks!...took me a long time to evolve it (years!) It and has changed lots since I started with the Inktober Challenge... (First drawings were in Sketchbook but then Affinity arrived and I was hooked!😀)

Reversing the process (Ink Raster outline and vector inserts instead of vector to raster insert) has changed the dynamic a bit.. The new brushes have also helped a lot... I intended to put up the 200 seamless patterns but it would just fill up the thread.. I am liking the comic grunge set!

Been a bit of a gap but thought I would do some more!
Affinity 2.0 Drawings
08 Match and 09 Nest completed using New Brush Set PB 32 Comic Sketcher and Comic Pattern assets from PB 30 Comic Grunge and PB 19 Inker + Sample Set.

I really like the new option of being able to add assets to fill swatch on the context bar (Quick Bitmap Fill as described on affinitySpotlight!). It it really useful for adding Grunge Texture overlays.. and has been used in these 2 drawings...had to use adjustments to re-colour as patterns were red! (So I could see them in the assets panel!😀)

😀..Yeah!.. you could get eaten ..or worse.. fed to carnivorous plants!.. that would be a surprise!😀

Using the new Comic Brush sets has helped a lot. but the texture is just a rectangle overlay.. I grabbed some of the vector assets (Brush base textures | seamless patterns) and dropped them into the fill swatch.. wow really quick!.. and a good test to see if they are working correctly!
