v_kyr Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Either draw an unfilled triangle shape in a flashy neon color, widen the rounded line ends stroke (contour) and apply some FX effect (outer glow etc.), or reuse some already by others made style ...

Draw some horizontal lines, switch to the Liquify persona and experiment! Quote Also how do I make a alien cat with the eyes? At the risk of stating the obvious, start with a cat picture and add lots of extra eyes.

Alfred Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 When you try to leave the Liquify Persona after making changes, you get (or you should get!) a warning about uncommitted changes.

v_kyr Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 As said before, those cat bedcovers there seem to be just made out of a bunch of colored horizontal and one vertical line grouped together. So they look similar to a pattern/hatch rectangular area, which is easy to make with the rectangle tool and the APh's power duplicate shortcut here. Afterwards merge all the rectangle layers afterwards together, so you have one object layer for such a bedcover. You can reuse a single made one and recolor the whole one then. For the liquify tool I don't know how it is exactly implemented on the iPad to be used or operate there, but it shouldn't be that hard to try and find out. On the APh desktop version you have to switch over to the Liquify Persona, make your adjustments and afterwards press a button to take over or abbort any made changes in that persona. screencast_liquify.mp4 ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v_kyr Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Depends on how you define the term distortion. The liquify effect distorts the horiz lines here via a dragable mesh (grid). ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v_kyr Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 For those who don't want to redraw or trace simple images by hand, using a vectorization/tracing tool might be another option then. It often is also helpful for making certain bitmap images reusable as vector drawings then by converting those bitmaps into vectors. katzen_kopf1.afdesign katzen_kopf.svg ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josie Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Because I sell online at redbubble and when I try to copy and paste a color into the affinity apps I can’t because there are no hex codes to do it and to be successful. i also watched a video on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
