French Curve

[Spiro]

Please consider to add a new tool "French Curve" for use with pen tool, and vector brush. Something similar to the french curve on Autodesk sketchbook. It's super useful for sketching with a graphic tablet.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums

I love this idea, but I'm not a draughtsman so I've no feeling for how useful/popular this would be.

You call them "French curves"? We call them "Perroquets" or "Pistolets à dessin" (drawing parrots/pistols)  

They are usefull to have nice curves and avoid bad angles when trying to join curves.

Known as parrots here... used them when we drafted with ink pens and vellum.. :-D

I suppose there may be some computer equivalent fitting commands but probably no direct application.

For me is "pistolete" (the spanish word, at least in Argentina), I was trying to be more "international" (?)

Smoother curves are always better.

Best regards!

I'd also like to see something similar to this. 

Even something as simple as a tool like the Crescent shape, only with an S shaped curve instead of a C shaped curve.

Loved them too in Autodesk but normal smoothing setting inside Brush solves this problem automatically for sketching. And for vector we have all tools we have.
