Gary-ser Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Is it possible to shade the hair color (as shown below) with the vector tools in Designer, or does this require a bitmap approach? (I am trying to learn how to do everything in designer, without going to the photo side, if possible). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add blur to a shape using the layer fx Gary-ser 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

gdenby Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 No, it doesn't require a bit map approach, but that would be quicker if you didn't need to scale the graphic. Here is a quickie. Could be lots better, but shows that a solution is probable.
