Pen tool and vector brushes on strokes

[Design by Birgit]

I make a lot of vector illustrations on my iPad and on desktop. I also like to use a nice brushstroke to the illustration. So I'm happy that I can use vector brushes in Affinity Designer. Only problem is that when I draw something by pen tool, it always starts in a default setting with no brush applied to it. But if I'm drawing I'd like to see the brushstroke I use straight away, not change every item I draw afterwards (which is a lot of extra work). Does any of you know a way that you can assign a brushstroke (temporarily) as the default to a pen stroke?

Thanks in advance!

Hey @Design by Birgit welcome to the forums & apologies on the late reply,

As far as I'm aware it's not currently possible to synchronise/default a vector brush stroke when using the pen tool, defaulting will not retain the brush stroke when the pen tool is next used and a vector brush stroke can only be applied to an existing curve, this is the same on Desktop.

Hi NathanC, Thank you for your answer.
It would be a nice addition in the future though! Especially for illustrator/designers like me who like to work with vector from the start. It would save me a lot of time!
