    I’m a bit mindblown about how nice these claw like spiky fill shapes work… that for me is where the expertise and experience shines, where and how to put these shadows, low lights, etc shapes that still conform to a human face.
    Great video, enjoyed it all.

    Back in the early 90s I worked for a newspaper and I had to do so many portraits in the grey scale style, you have just remembered this past experience to me. I had to use an Illustrator that we had back them , Illustrator 2 or Illustrator 88, you could not work in preview, only in black lines, and I had to keep clicking on preview to see what I was really doing, then back to the vector lines and back to preview... it was not easy! Now it has changed so much and Affinity designer is such an improvement, I have it and it is so versatile, thanks for it

    @markoehlschlager3862 3 роки тому +1

    Excellent work. Well produced demo/tutorial.
    Although the path tracing technique with the pen tool is expertly applied here, I must say that jobs like this one just scream out for a "blob brush" and a complementary "vector erase brush" tool. It would make the painting and illustration work like this so much faster and more intuitive.

    • @RathboneIllustration
      @RathboneIllustration 3 роки тому +1

      Thank you. Blob brush is the primary reason I have to use other programs for certain jobs. I think there have been a lot comments/requests for that, so hopefully it is coming soon!

    This type of art takes so many hours with the PEN TOOL... but it can be done exponentially faster with the PENCIL TOOL. I kind of wonder why not just do pencil tool instead?

    • @KuttyJoe
      @KuttyJoe 2 роки тому

      It would have a different look in the end, I guess. I think also that using a Cintiq/stylus would make this go faster than using a mouse.

    Affinity needs to be able to handle medium format and A7riv files. Also you guys need to work on making your raw development power and retouching tools top priority if you want to compete with the big boys.
    Affinity is great and these changes would take over the industry by storm. Capture one is currently my raw development platform because of this.
