diane555 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hi everyone. I am new to Affinity Designer. I really love drawing in flat color vectors at the moment, so this is my first attempt at using AD. I didn't realize there was anything in the help files at first so it's mostly just trial and error. The interface is fairly intuitive but I admit I am having some challenges figuring out how to keep line & fill colors consistent. I'd love to be able to select a line or shape and simply eye-dropper from an existing one. And I can't seem to figure out how to drag colors into my swatches palette and there are a few things I'd love to see added but I'll look for a suggestion thread here :) I really love the software already. I hope you like this. Thanks for looking! ZVK, GRScott, ronniemcbride and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 9, 2014 Staff Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hi diane555, Welcome to Affinity Forums. Your work is absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing it with us :) To replicate a style of an object, select the object with the style you want to copy, press cmd+v (or go to Edit -> Copy), change to the object you want apply the style and press shift+cmd+v (or go to Edit-> Paste Style). diane555 and candacew 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimni Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Nice work. I especially like the highlighting you did with the skin tones. But... retro? I know people who look/dress like this in 2015. Maybe the smoking part is retro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penwiper Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Nice hair, texture and colors! The overlapping color of the lines gives this piece a lot of character (who says one shouldn't color outside the lines?) Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
