If you use that tool in its default ‘Pen’ mode, each tap will create a sharp node and you’ll get a series of straight line segments. If you drag instead of tapping, you’ll get a smooth node with control handles, and the line between the new node and the previous one will be curved; tap on the ‘Edit’ icon at the left-hand end of the Context toolbar to switch temporarily to the Node Tool so that you can drag on either the control handles or the curve itself to adjust the path. 4BB83BAF-DFA7-4125-9153-A32581A0AB50.MOV Edited August 18, 2019 by Alfred Added video Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Can I just trace any image so I don’t have to worry about convert to curves as much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think converting to curves is anything to “worry about”, and I like the fact that I’m starting with a closed shape, but if you find it easier to trace the image then by all means do it that way.

If you mean the hearts, stars, sprinkles and highlights, all of them can be done with the Shape Tools.

Staff Leigh Posted August 22, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 22, 2019 I agree with what Alfred states above but I would suggest you stick to creating one cat drawing at a time before moving onto the next one. Other users have given you great advice on how to recreate the images you've attached to your posts but only practice will make your drawings better and will allow you to get more familiar with the app and its features. Do you have a deadline to meet? If not, why the rush? Just concentrate on one drawing until it's Purr-fect stokerg, walt.farrell, Alfred and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 I tried the disco cat and when I added the arms like they are I got stuck. Using a real cat image like the one below, and a different cat image I don’t know how to do that and put in a real image with it and only the cat without the background. thats the one I want to focus on right now, so help me out thanks so much.

Josie, you need to search "cat pawns" images and use the pixel persona to select them and copy them. I hope someone will show you how to do it on iPad, I only have Designer for desktop.

DM1 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 A good start Josie. The mask in the second file (rainbowpoopcat) does not require the mask layer. You have not actually masked anything. Keep practicing. Let your imagination run wild. Alfred and Ulysses 2 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
