Affinity Designer Tutorial: Create Custom Brushes

[@tradivoro]

Thank you for making this tutorial. These are the kinds of tutorials that Affinity needs to make. If you work with Photoshop and Krita, there are hundreds of brush tutorials to expand the capabilities of painting wiht the program. This is the first tutorial that shows the possibilities of the brush engine in Designer in depth. This is a great help!! Affinity should by paying you... 🙂

[@ArtistWright]

Hi there! Thanks for the great feedback. Yes you are right, there aren't many videos on this tool. I think people avoid it as there are so many things to explain, I know I did for a long time. So I thought I'd give it a shot. I didn't go super in depth with the sub brush as it kept crashing and Affinity never crashes for me usually. Hopefully it helps a few people anyway

[@tradivoro]

@@ArtistWright Oh, I'm certain it will. And truth to tell, the sub-brush isn't as useful as all the other brushes. There's plenty there to explore to develop with the other brushes. Thanks again.

Cheers

You are a brilliant teacher. I have learnt so much in such a short time. When I started I didn’t think I would manage to learn AD, but you have really demystified it for me.

[@ArtistWright]

That is awesome to hear thank you!

Wooow! just finished this tutorial. The eyebrow brush is genius! I made myself a "blades of grass brush". Thanks again for another in-depth tutorial. I am still busy with the comprehensive guide 😀

[@ArtistWright]

Hello again Nadine! Quick tip on that eyebrow brush, you can press escape on the keyboard to exit the brush. Useful if using the pressure to rotate at the end

[@nadineappletini]

@@ArtistWright Thank you very much!

[@PhilAllamong]

Thanks for using the light style on Designer it makes it so much easier to see in the video.

[@ArtistWright]

Cheers, I still don't like how the layers look in the layers panel

@@ArtistWright N P it’s an Excellent tutorial. Plus your tutorial style is great, none of the hyped weird speed and choppy editing. Not too slow or too fast. Lovely calm strong voice. Plus very knowledgeable. Makes a huge difference as to watchablilty busy going through them as I get time. I have been using Affinity since it was Serif. I never stop learning though.

[@ArtistWright]

@habanero6332 I love to hear feedback, even the bad ones 😂 as long as I continue to improve. Thank you

[@habanero6332]

@@ArtistWright There is nothing to improve on yours. They are great!!.

As always, superb. Thanks for your amazingly clear and informative tutorials. I have learned so much from yourself so hats off to you sir. I do seem to get hit and miss notifications from you tube so maybe i should un subscribe and redo the subscription. But either way, thankyou for your time and effort in these videos.

[@ArtistWright]

Hi Michael! Thanks 👍 maybe I'm shadow banned 😂

[@paulsternberg8139]

Actually, I have a question please. I've been trying to figure out how to make a seamless pattern brush in Affinity: one that paints part of a repeating design or image and fills in as you continue your brush strokes. I've watched both your tutorials and played with making brushes. But this type escapes me. Would you know how to do it by chance? Thank you. ...Paul

[@ArtistWright]

Yes that's in the base texture section in the tutorial. Try making the base texture bigger than the brush

[@paulsternberg8139]

Larger than the brush. That's what did it. Cheers from Australia.

[@ArtistWright]

@@paulsternberg8139 no worries
