How can I make these kind of image?

[jinnyjinny]

Hi, there.

I tried to make this image on Affinity Designer.

Inside of dog head shape is empty, so I can see the background color.

But I don't know how to make these kind of images.

Geometry -> Xor won't work what I expected.

I appreciate somebody help me to solve this problem.

Hi Jinnyjinny!

Place the dog head on top, select both shapes and try "Geometry - "Subtract". If this doesn't work, probably the dog head shape is not closed.

Alternatively, a Compound boolean (with Alt/Option key) that allows subsequent modification of shapes.

 

P.S. If you don't mind rasterization during export, you can use Blend Mode = Erase.
