Ash Eldritch Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 In a recent discussion, within the forum, about Affinity Designer vs Illustrator, I was asked what I’m able to achieve using AD that I wasn’t able to do using AI. This has nothing to do with what each app is capable of it’s purely the way I’ve gelled with AD. I personally always found AI frustrating and usually ended up exporting my line work to AP and finishing off illustrations in that. I’ve never been a fan of using raster art with its many restrictions. So when I discovered AD and found I was able to do all my illustrating in the one app I was overjoyed. So anyway, now that I’ve bored everyone silly, here’s an example of my AD work with an additional enlarged section. Please excuse the watermarks and lack of the entire image. This is still a work in progress, one page, of about 30, from a book I’m doing. So I don’t want to give everything away and I’m somewhat concerned about all this AI art indexing, or theft as I prefer to call it. This is 100% vector. No brushes or raster elements used.

Rodrigo Santos Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi, Ash Eldritch.. Your work is very good, I also found myself at affinity designer, although some clients request the product in . In the end, I do everything in AD, working on it with vector resources and pixel layers, it's very good!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Eldritch Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Thanks, Rodrigo, much appreciated. Agreed, it's awkward when someone wants you to work with tools you're not comfortable with. Saps the creative flow. Thankfully, for me, Affinity has all my bases covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Eldritch Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Thank you Trent. Very Much appreciated. Not sure if anyone is interested but I thought I might show part of the vector image overlaid on the original concept sketch. Shows how things get invariably moved around once I get a better idea of how things are looking. nomi02118, markw, TrentL and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Santos Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I find it very cool to see the process, I enjoy sharing my processes on social networks. Are you making this art part of a book or article? , has a social network like behance? I want to do a whole book on affinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Eldritch Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Me too, Rodrigo, the concept process is interesting but rarely seen. This is part of a children's book I've written. So It's one page, of approximately thirty illustrated pages, I'm currently working on. I'm not on any Social networks. This forum is about the nearest I dare venture into social media. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
