ScarletQueen Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I made a new textured image brush in Affinity Designer on the iPad featuring a flower and a leaf design that I made. I tried to make a circle with the stroke being the new brush. It looked okay, but the top doesn’t close. I found a tutorial that said to convert the circle to curves and break the top node, which I did, but there are two flowers that don’t overlap properly. Please see my screenshot. Is there a better way to close a stroke after it is painted with whatever brush I decide to use, other than this process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paolo.limoncelli Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hi! You need to make a seamless pattern to make it close perfectly. No need to deal with open/closed paths. You could use Symbols in AD or Pattern Layer in AP, but you need to carefully design the geometry of your source. Also I suggest to clip your symbol inside a rectangle/square to allow pixel perfect positioning. Once you did this, you can remove the bounding rectangle from symbol and make things overlap, since now you have a "positioning reference" Be careful not to move the group, but only inside elements, and you can achieve better results Hope this helps!
