affinity designer Early sixties image

[Allard]

Hi, I am new to this forum. I am using AD-2 on my iPad air (2022) with an Apple pencil since 2021. 
The vector image I am showing here is in the memory of my youth back in the early sixties. I am more interested in graphic quality rather than photographic realism. For my figures I am using photographs from journals and the internet as inspiration, mostly to get the proportions right.

Nice work, @Allard! We still have my wife's old Dansette upstairs, complete with long tapered legs, and a good many discs (including several hundred 78s!).
Now I'm going to be a little critical, but it's meant to be constructive criticism; and unlike a lot of critics, I won't be at all put out if you take no notice! Only two things . . . The tone arm is on the wrong side. The lines of the hair look a little too free to me -- did you use the stabiliser? It looks as though you did with the other lines. (I'm really rubbish at drawing hair, so I shouldn't make such a fuss.)
But I really love the whole design, the concept, the composition, and the colours and white space. And being a child of the 50s and 60s myself, the nostalgia!

Hi Kasper, thank you for your nice words. As I am from 1941 my youth was also in the fifties. Somewhere in the process I must have mirrored the image of the pick up. The correct use of the stabiliser is rather new to me but I understand it now better. Kind regards, Allard
