From doodles to digital work

[wordsberry]

 I've always been a doodler, but recently started working with vector software and these are some of my works I've done with AD. It's only been a month, so I'm hoping I can create some neat looking things by end of 2016.. and hopefully make some professional looking vector art by 2017 :)

Hi wordsberry,

Nice work. Seems you are already getting the hang of it. Looking forward for more.

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

You should try putting them up on threadless ! they might just make the cut and end up as tshirts

These are great, man! I've recently begun trying to make the same transition (doodling on paper w/ ink -> digital illustration). 

I've been wanting to do it for years but always found Illustrator way too tedious to spend much time on. Thank god i found Affinity :P

Noice! Certainly there's a great feel to these. 

 

Great work here, look forward to seeing more.

To be honest I found Affinity Designer quite confusing at first, it really takes some time to get used to the software, especially for newbies like us.

I actually put the cookie surfer up on threadless. They gave me a 2.09/5, which is no where near the cut. I believe a score of 3 - 3.5 is usually what gets printed... so  gotta a long way to go before I can please the threadless community :(

I can recommend these video tutorials. Designing an ice cream figure and cookies.
Jonathan Ball and his class is mentioned here.

Hahah ..  Madame, I've already gone through that tutorial.. in fact that's how I actually learned how to use Affinity Designer :) I'm just wondering how to blend those techniques with my own style now

I think when we get to use it more and more, we'll get more creative and develop our own style. Just practise, practise, practise.
