noname Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hi everybody, at first i have to say that i´m deeply impressed of the Affinity products. Beautiful UI, beautiful features, good job. Personally i´m interested in digital painting and concept art. I try to use AP for these things. My problem is that i don´t know how to blend my shadows well. So which techniques and brushes could you recommend? Maybe you can give me some examples. greetings from Germany. ecols33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hi noname, Welcome to the forums. The best person would be MEB, as he is great at drawing Lambos! He has loads of help and advice to offer. As for brushes...Paolo Limonelli. King of brushes, he is! You should see his Road Runner backdrop: jaw dropping would be a good description! https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/user/2042-paololimoncelli/ Don't forget to visit the road map to see what's coming next. https://affinity.ser...opic/1689-faqs/ As for the various tutorials, MEB has kindly posted these links here http://www.miguelboto.com/affinity/ Should be enough to get the ball going.

paolo.limoncelli Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Thank you for the mention Peter! My problem is that i don´t know how to blend my shadows well. So which techniques and brushes could you recommend? What do you mean when you talk about "shadows blending"? If you're talking about "value painting" the best set to approach this technique is probably Gouaches. With these tools strokes overlap gradually blending with an "average" colour mode. This is an illustration I'm working on using this set.
