affinity designer "Mask of Jaru" by Doz.

[Guest]

New artwork I am conquering up in Affinity Designer.  Here are a few stages.I will work on it again this week.
I am not sure how to add any text under an image, but thanks for the comments and interest in my learning the software.  I am sure with practice it will get better.  All advice is always appreciated.  Thanks again, enjoy making art.

Okay, a most busy and good learning day.  I now instead of building one half and mirroring and assembling in Photoshop, did it all in Affinity Designer like I should.  Prompted by an email I took the time to find a good tutorial and learned to mirror and use symmetry.  Thanks for the prompt, this project will continue all in Affinity designer.  Follow the sides of the head for changes top to bottom and tomorrow perhaps new additions to this artwork.

Okay, thank you for the advice LiamBlack.  I looked up symmetry and mirroring tools and not being lazy - I find they are unbelievably cool.  As a newbie I have to force the brain to keep open and never quit.  So I am now going to work in symmetry, mirror and continue. Of course that gave me new Ideas for distortions on future projects and then mirroring and symmetry painting, truly unlimited options, just need to add them to the kit bag.  Thanks again.

By the way I also need to learn working in forums, new to this, also.

Current progress.  I have 4 days of sorting out the message "Preparing Automatic Repairs"..Black screen...it was the Ac/Dc adapter cord for the ASUS G705jm Gamer ROG laptop.
