notpill Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi there, here's a lil doodle I did in my first approach to AP. I'v got some really good impression about the environment, the tools and the the general feeling of the app. There's a lot of things I really love and some annoying things here and there and of course some bugs but...wow you guys got a new fan here! I will post my concerns and bugs in the proper section, so see you around here :) paolo.limoncelli, stokerg, heliherrera and 14 others 17 notpill.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notpill Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thank you Matt, I'm having fun with AP. :D I just hope to see some brush import wizard at some point because rebuilding my huge brush library form scratch would require years :huh: penwiper 1 notpill.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MattP Posted February 18, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 18, 2015 (just for your info, notpill, the brushes you used to draw this were probably made by Paolo, so that's a pretty good endorsement!) ;) paolo.limoncelli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notpill Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 (just for your info, notpill, the brushes you used to draw this were probably made by Paolo, so that's a pretty good endorsement!) ;) Yes Matt, I did everything with Paolo's brushes (especially two or three from Guaches category ). He did a fantastic job :D! F_Kal 1 notpill.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notpill Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Here's another quickie with AP (and Paolo's brushes) and some other comment about the app (from a painter perspective) I love a lot of things but just to name a few: 1) Stock panel for searching quick references it's pure genius 2) Liquify is faaaaaaaaast as hell 3) realtime blend layer system it's a dream I'm fighting hard with this major issues: 1) Brush resizing delay (draggin' pen or mouse) 2) Brush size tooltips are a nightmare (almost unusable) 3) Eyedropper inconsistency (miss 40% of the picks) 4) Brushes become laggy and slow very quickly (after adding a texture and a couple of tip) :) Ok, I know maybe aren't really serious stuff for a photographer workflow but as a wrote, from a painter perspective are things to fix as soon as possible. I love you all :D MattP, JesseM, MartinB78 and 3 others 6 notpill.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notpill Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Here's some PENCIL test I did playing with brushes and following this awesome tutorial (thanks Paolo :)) I like the overall lead effect, it seems very believable and realistic and the brushes are fast and responsive (maybe because their small tips). Next step: oil pastel and color :) PS: Thank to the affinity's Stock Panel for giving me a good reference for the bear in a heartbeat :wub: paolo.limoncelli, Andrew Tang and MattP 3 notpill.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanzz Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Great work ! Love to play with it too soon ! Working on one that's taking me longer than expected, after that I turn to AP for sure !! Congrats on those fine drawings again ! May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzz Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Had a quick try... looks like a lot of work still needs to be done.... Much lagging, no really good brushes, except those daub brushes. Couldn't get the blend brush to do what it's name suggested. Still, this is a rush paintiing, maybe it's all on me. I'l try again soon.. notpill 1 May the fun be with you!

Hanzz Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 OK, I take back them words on the mixing brush....I think I figured it out a bit better..... May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo.limoncelli Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Did you find lags Hanzz? Curious... On my Mac the Paint Brush is comparable to AD's one in terms of speed.

Hanzz Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I had serious lags , yes And sometimes, for no reason the memory drains to almost nothing. May the fun be with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzz Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Just tried again, I could paint happily, without any lag at all. I thought maybe it had to do with something else, a combination of factors... But no, after some 10 minutes, the memory dropped until 16 MB (!) and the lagging started again. May the fun be with you!

Staff Andy Somerfield Posted February 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hello Hanzz, If possible, could you use Preferences to set your Undo Limit to something smaller than 1024? Maybe 64? Please let me know if this helps - if it does, we can fix the problem! Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
