Nic727 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hi, I found this on Etsy while looking for inspiration for a logo I will create for myself. https://www.etsy.com/shop/PearlAndPixel I would like to know if you have an idea how the circle was made. I really love the paint effect and the colors blending perfectly together without using a gradient. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catlover Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 In Affinity Designer : Draw a circle >no fill >choose desired colour for the outline >click a paintbrush to your liking. The outline of the circle will turn to the brush you picked. Additional brushes can be found in section "Resources" of this forum, Daub's are very, very good paintbrushes. To import the brushes in the brush panel : Open Brushes panel >click the little "hamburger (3 stripes) on the right >click import brushes.

Guest Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hello Nic727, For example, draw a circle, duplicate it. Apply one brush of one color to the first circle and another brush of another color to the copy. In my example I converted the copy into curves and opened the curve at the top and the left to apply a light fx "3D" to the upper left of the circle.

catlover Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Try changing to the Pixel Persona, it might be a different kind of brush, only available for Pixel Persona. Newly imported brushes are at the very bottom of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 There are two kinds of brushes: vectorial and raster. Since your brushes are installed, you must be in the right Persona for them to appear: if the brushes you imported are raster brushes, you must be in "Persona Pixel".

gdenby Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hi, Nic727, I looked at various works from the same source. Noticed the same brush swipe w. different watercolor fills. Saw another logo that had what seemed to me to be 3 swipes of the same shape, but different sizes and different watercolor floods. Did a quick search, and found what i expected. Watercolor samples packs w. different kinds of brush work and wetness. My guess is that there is a base circle swipe being made, which can be filled by whatever watery sample may be available. I tried using a donated vector brush from the "CD-E3-Water" set I found early on in the Resources section of the forum. Gave that a blue hue. Made a pixel layer, and used a few different spray paint brushes. That I used as a mask to below for the curve shape. Wasn't very watery, so I duplicated it a couple of time, did some rotations and shape tweaks, added opacity gradients to the layers, and messed about w. the blend modes. Didn't really replicate natural media, as the spray paint pixels were not very watery, but I'll show the results.
