Jonopen Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Hi all, I thought I'd give myself a quick project to explore Affinity's Shape tools and make a series of images. I've made some fish like creatures, but other themes could easily used, like monsters, faces etc. I was thinking this idea could help new users learn about the Shape tools and generally have some creative fun. When I get a few spare moments, my intention is to further embellish each shape with colours, different fills, backgrounds, text etc Note: the bitmap fill is from The Shizzle Style and Brush Pack (Grizzle 1), the paper texture is from True Grit Texture Supply (Folio-Vellum) and additional line shading is from Artifex Forge's Vintage Engraved Patterns (Pattern 6). Yes, I have splashed out on the Spring Sale offers!

Twolane Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I'm getting a real kick out of this. I think your drawings/designs are almost the greatest thing since sliced bread! Keep on keeping on. Jonopen, jmwellborn and Alfred 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Flipped head to tail and with a bit more tweaking, number 19 could make a good humphead wrasse.

Have a go - that's your homework. 11 hours ago, Twolane said: I'm getting a real kick out of this. I think your drawings/designs are almost the greatest thing since sliced bread! Keep on keeping on. Thanks so much! There's still quite a difference between what's in my head what comes out. Some of that maybe down to a lack of technical knowledge, and some down to lack of good drawing skills - but it's all good fun anyway. Thanks again.

Beautifully drawn, and I think the SpongeBob font for the label is a particularly nice touch.

Jonopen Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Going a bit off-piste diving into the abstract/painterly zone. Trying out different toning, layer blends and textures. It's had a shave and now morphing into a mola (sunfish).
