If I don’t have any sketch to work with, the first thing I do when I fire up Affinity Designer on my iPad is to switch to Pixel Persona. Note that this tutorial has been created using Affinity Designer for iPad but all the techniques demonstrated can be achieved in the desktop versions. Now, let’s see some practical examples of what I listed above. Of course, I could spend the whole day listing lots of practical uses for both type of graphics, but this checklist should be enough to give you an idea of how to get started. If you have an existing Pro Motion license, it costs 19 to upgrade to the newest version or you stick with the feature limited free edition. The Pro version of Cosmigo Pro Motion costs 39 and includes a number of features that arent available in the limited free version. When I need to add photo-realistic textures Pro version and upgrades come at a price.For planning and sketching my illustration.Creating smooth and clean colour gradients.To paint inside the confines of a vector shape or path, switch to Pixel Persona, create a new pixel layer and from the Layers Studio, drag this Pixel Layer onto your target Layer to create a Clipping Mask. Clipping raster brushes to vector shapes. Then we’ll see examples of both working together. The difference between shading with a gradient and shading with a raster brush. In this tutorial, rather than giving a ‘step by step guide’, I’ll try to break down the ways I usually combine both Personas in Affinity Designer for iPad, and why I choose one over the other, depending on the outcome needed.įor the sake of keeping things simple from the beginning, I’m going to put down a super easy checklist, showing when I use vector graphics and when raster. Complement angular Hexel art with soft, sweeping brushwork. If you come from Adobe Illustrator or similar, this concept of an integrated raster editor within a vector app may sound weird at the beginning. Pixels and Trixels living in harmony Hexels lets you combine layers of vector and pixel art on the same canvas. One of the features that causes more confusion among Affinity Designer newcomers is the unique Vector/Pixel Personas combo.
