I make them myself 😊 if you like any specific one, let me know and I can make a tutorial for it.

Hmm.. not sure... you need to create a symbol first but if you can't see the menu on the right I don't know why.... do you use affinity on iPad in a landscape mode?

Thank you. There will be more coming late Jan.

Thank you! 😊 I do have a video on stamp vs. assets, and in the first chapter I show how to create and save the elements (assets) in affinity. You can check it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3zCgGptj5Wdaqcsi=HH1T3Ro-NrmTD7Gr

Thank you! 😊

Thank you for your comment. This is just an overview to explain the possibilities and different options that both of the programs provide. There will be more videos on tandem workflows in the future 😊

Thank you!

Thank you! 😊

No, I don't think there is a way to do that, although it would be a cool feature for sure. As far as I know, you can use only one picture in a stamp, and for randomising, you can mirror it or change the size.

@@MKBlueprints aw okay

There is a way to cover the stamp behind with the one in front, but in this case, I have created a few variations of the tree stamps with some overlapping. That's what you most likely see on my video. You can also create one layer with background trees and then add front ones on a new layer and then erase anything that peeks through from the bottom one. It is, however, quite a time-consuming way of doing it, so I would suggest creating overlapping stamps for copses of trees or tiny forrests.

Thank you.

Thank you! It's lovely to hear this! Remember that you don't need to swap one profession for the other straight away. Start from doing art and design in your free time, see how it goes. You can always transition as slowly as you can! Maybe in time you will be able to go for a part time job with support from your design and illustration business? Nothing is impossible if you put your passion to it :) I know the pressure of doing what we "supposed" to and the fear of feeling "foolish", but at the end of the day ask yourself this: Will you, in 20-30 years, feel more regrets about feeling foolish than regrets from not doing something you love and feel passionate about? Plus, even if your design and illustration work won't bring money, I am certain you will feel happier and more fulfilled which is always something that will bring a little more brightness into your every day life! Remember you deserve to do what you love! No matter how silly it seems to others! :)

@@MKBlueprints 100% agreed! BTW love your channel!! keep it up!

Sure! I will put the idea on my list! There is a tree tutorial video available already and you can use the same technique to create different types too!

Ok so I’m back to say I followed this tutorial and I am obsessed with how it turned out! Totally took my map drawing to a whole other level! Thanks you!

@analeeadkins so glad to hear it! 😊

You're very welcome. Hope you'll enjoy them 😊

Thank you, and of course you can! You might have to remove overlines at the beginning/end of your stroke but totally doable! Also, I have a tutorial for the squiggly shorelines on my channel, so check out my other videos for the step-by-step instructions 😊

@@MKBlueprints thank you, I spent last night watching your old videos and found the how too shoreline example/creation. Only a few more videos to go. Thanks and keep up the good work

@davidstewart8796 thank you! I'm coming up with new ideas to share, so stay tuned! 😊

You're welcome, and thank you for your lovely comment! 😊

You're very welcome. Glad you liked it! 😊

Thank you! There will be a step by step tutorial of "making a fantasy map from scratch" comong soon. So stay tuned and THANK you for your support! 😊

They are vector assets, but you can do png or jpg as well.

Thank you! 😊

This is to ensure the lines are repeating seamlessly horizontally and vertically, so you can draw any length/width with it without seeing the "seam" of the design on your map.

Thank you so much! You're right. We're never too old to go back to our artsy passions! Yes, the music has come down a notch in my recent videos, but all suggestions are welcome, so thank you for bringing it up.

Don't think this functionality exists, to be honest. For straight lines, I use the dot menu (command controller) with arrow up. This will continue your stroke. So I make a dot with brush tool at the start of my line, then press the arrow up on the Command Controller, and then make a dot at the end of my desired line which creates a one continuous straight line from the forst dot to the second one. As for cirles, you can use a selection tool with elipse shape as I don't think there is any other way in pixel persona to make cirles. You can always switch between vector and pixel personas as well. Although it is an extra step, it will help you create more precise lines and shapes. And you can change the look of the lines on those shapes to match with your brush.

oh cool. thanks

Thanks! I try 😅 Good luck and let me know how it went.

You're very welcome! And thanks! 😊

Thank you! 😊

You’d think so, but…the first one is old enough to be in retirement, the second one has narcolepsy, and the third one’s hobby is trash picking so I’m not getting my hopes up 😅

When the time is right, you'll find your courage! I've seen your map and it looks great! Which is very promising for your artistic future!

Thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you! I bet your map will look great!😊

Thank you! Yes, you will lose the quality on the coloured (raster) layer if you try to increase the size a lot. I would recommend always working with larger canvas to avoid issues. However, in case of the map I'm showing, due to the background being quite smudged already, it wouldn't matter too much as you can always blurr it a little more to avoid pixelated look. Hope this helps.

@@MKBlueprints this definitely helps! Thank you so much for the response
