Wonderful work, as always. Thanks for the video.

Thanks... and you are most welcome! I had good fun recording this one.

Great tutorial 😊 could you make a tutorial making a cool little voodoo doll? I know how to make the button eyes now but what's a good way to make the stitches?

[@2dgameartguru]

I could... that would be fun... I used vector brushes for the stitches [and they are for free on Gumroad [link in the description] by adding a zero in the price field: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWOomaiFlLSKocU

btw how easy was it for you to switch to affinity designer? I am considering a switch to it.

[@2dgameartguru]

It was very easy to switch. It suited me right from the start and has been growing ever since. After decades of using CorelDraw it was a fresh breeze and a lot more fun than the painful UI/UX that is Illustrator. I had no issues at all switching - even if there are a few options missing and I run Inkscape along side and use whatever feels better or what I feel like on the day.

how did you make compound ?

[@2dgameartguru]

Hold the alt key and click on the Boolean operation [Alt+Add, Alt+Subtract,...] or use Layer > Create Compound.
