selstephen Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 This is the my first foray into using AD. I guess I would say I'm a casual user but I absolutely love it! Initially started with hand drawing but have decided to start to vectorize them.

StuartRc Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 A First Foray...wow!..puts me to shame!. Really like the colour choice and design. Would be good to see similar design outside the 'k' boundary restriction...if you know what I mean :) heliherrera and selstephen 2 Quote Affinity Version 1 (10.6) Affinity Version 2.4.2 All (Designer | Photo | Publisher) Beta; 2.4 2.2371 OS:Windows 10 Pro 22H2 OS Build 19045.4046+ Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0 Rig:AMD FX 8350 and AMD Radeon (R9 380 Series) Settings Version 21.04.01 Radeon Settings Version 2020 20.1.03) + Wacom Intuous 4M with driver 6.3.41-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selstephen Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Thank you guys for your comments. This is for a framed piece Stuart_R so kept as a monogram style. My next challenge is to try more tutorials and advance this further. Watch this space...

gdenby Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I too am impressed. A fine sense of design, well executed w. the tool set. Some subtle work in there. For instance, the slight curve to the petals of the white flowers. jer and selstephen 2 Quote iMac 27" Retina, c. 2015: OS X 10.11.5: 3.3 GHz I c-5: 32 Gb, AMD Radeon R9 M290 2048 Mb iPad 12.9" Retina, iOS 10, 512 Gb, Apple pencil Huion WH1409 tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eejits Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Thank you George. I've been looking through your eejits collection and it is AMAZING! Is this something you've nurtured over time? Thanks man. Yeah I've been at eejits for a number of years, Started off in Paint Shop Pro as an exercise in learning how to draw & then colour digitally. Progressed from there, now fully immersed in the Affinity Designer world. Glad you like them!

jer Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Lots of good stuff in that 5 for a 5-yr old. This would make a good poster for the wall.

gdenby Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I really am envious of your skill and inventiveness, but in a good way. Gee whiz, so many images, so nicely fused together.
