ProjectRKA Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Hey, I recently found out about Affinity and decided to try out both of the programs a bit and I like both of them. However, I'm not sure which one would be best for digital painting. I'm interested in painting stuff like characters and environments (landscapes), so which one would be best ? I've seen digital painting being done in both programs, which also makes it hard to choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdenby Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Both have the same ‘dab’ making capabilities. Designer has a “vector” brush, which allows stretching a stroke along a vector curve,which can then be moved or reshaped as desired. Photo has retouching brushes to sharpen,darken, etc what has already been laid down. Photo is a bit more painterly to me, but all the photo specific operations are sort of excess baggage to me. Neither at core are made to replicate traditional media, unlike some apps that are dedicated to watercolor, for instance.
