That Miror Effect changes everything & save so much time. & That line thing oh my thank you
Yeah, its by far one of my favorite features! You bet, and thanks for watching and commenting!
My question is how do you make Pixel Persona Default
It doesn't seem like you can. You'll have to just switch using the icon at the top left. You maybe be able to set a keyboard shortcut for it. Thanks for watching!
@@njvalenteart much appreciated definitely subbing, I think you're the only one making illustration videos with Affinity Designer 2, if you could whether it be a course or something we need a 1hr -3hr lesson from beginner to master for drawing on Designer 2
@@holdthetruthhostage Thanks, I really appreciate that! That is an idea I have been juggling back and forth. Its on my list of videos to make, its definitely something I'd like to do. Thats what I have tried to do with some of my live streams, and that could be the way we go. Thanks again for your support!!
@@njvalenteart im watching it my issue is you didn't share how you got that ruler around the images because when I place my image it's in the dark unseen aspect of it. Gonna Finish the video as best as I can but when making tutorials every step counts my friend thanks
@@holdthetruthhostage I thought it was set by default I have had it on so long. Under view, click on show rulers. You'll be all set. Thanks for commenting!
Super helpful video for all noobs. Curious if you have a good way to do drop shadows on these types of shapes to show depth on overlaps.
I'm glad you found it helpful! I don't have any particular tips for these specific shapes. I do have a video on creating drop shadows though that might help. ruclips.net/video/dooIrvhCPiA/видео.html Thanks for watching. I appreciate your support!
This method is so time consuming. It would be helpful if Affinity had mirror symmetry tool like Inkscape has.
It would be a great feature!
Ok so if you are using the FX tab in affinity, how are you able to export the file as a pdf, as it doesn’t work, everytime I try to export a affinity designer document with fx components on layers it ALWAYS exports a fuzzy pdf, ever what I see on the screen! Makes the hours of work I’ve done completely pointless, can’t export as png or jpg as it pixelates despite being the right size and 300dpi even thought it’s a digital file, I’ve tried all files, such, tiff, png, jpg, svg, pdf and every single one exports blurry and massive files, I’m totally stuck and no clue how to export what I see on the screen.🤯
Hey. This can be tough and I'm not sure I have the answer, but here is my experience and what I know so far. When I do export logos with those FX, I have to rasterize the FX or the layer, by right clicking and then selecting rasterize. It will no longer be a vector element so you have to export at size. As far as the blurry PNGs and JPGs, if the actual size of the file is small, say 64x64 pixels, or 100x100 px, it will be blurry even if exported at a higher DPI. It is frustrating and I have not been able to find out exactly why. But when exporting, you have to uncheck Allow JPEG compression and under the Rasterize pull down menu, select Nothing. If the size is small, you can try doubling the pixel by pixel size and see if you can get it to export without blur. Here is a link to the Affinity forum where they talk more about this issue: forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/35497-exported-png-jpg-are-blurry/ I hope this helps, I know how frustrating this can be, I have to tell new clients I only export certain types of files, because a lot of the FX and layer options don't translate to Adobe Illustrator which all print companies use. Let me know how it goes, good luck!
@@njvalenteart thank you so much for replying. You have helped me to confirm for certain that it is my fx in affinity designer - specifically, shadows, embossing to look like a button, outlines and anything basically applied to a layer from the fx menu! Export as you said remove jpg compression and rasterise nothing and hey presto sharp and perfect….well minus the tab shadows, the text shadows, the page shadows, the button embossing and 2 buttons, the fx on a element where the fill of the text is re,over leaving just the embossing - all that is totally gone. Add in rasterise unsupported and hello fuzzz! So now I know it’s not me it’s the program, imaging having elements you can’t export but show fine on the screen! Not amused, so affinity designer is no good for creating the image files for the master slides where I want to use shadows etc for tabs the others I’m sure I can work around. So can I ask, where do you design the images to use as master slides in whatever it is you use to assemble your planner? I was going to try doing them in keynote or affinity designer, but the same issue in affinity publisher and keynote pallete are nasty! I appreciate the advice I now know why but not where to go from here!
@@PhoenixCreationsKaTyJs You're welcome, sorry its not a full proof answer. I'm glad it fixed the blurry image issue though. It is very frustrating, and wish it could be resolved. To be honest I don't make master slides so I'm not totally sure. I typically export as PNG with transparent background to keep shadows. Not sure if that is an option for you. Best of luck, I would be interested to know what you come up with.
@@njvalenteart thank you - I did try that too but each time the result was blurry - no clue but - that is worth a try if “compress jpg” is a option on the export. Even if I didn’t do master slides I can’t see how it would work as when exporting as pdf for the end result it wouldn’t keep any fx as pdf is apparently a vector and vectors don’t do shadows etc - which I didn’t know - I always thought things woudlnt be there to use if you can’t export them to use - it’s rather odd!! I need to figure out how to export to retain quality and things like shadows! It shouldn’t be that hard to do! If you can design it on screen with an app then surely you can export it to use! I saw a utube video of a user creating a planner in affinity publisher and exporting with shadows etc but they were using an Apple mac not a iPad - so the question still is how! I must be missing something simple! Thank you for your help it’s really appreciated. 👍🏻😄
@@PhoenixCreationsKaTyJs I certainly know how frustrating it can be. Like I said I limit what I can do for clients because of the export functionality. I need to do a deep dive into the Export feature to see if there isn't a work around for some of this. To your point, if you see it on the screen, why does it not export that way? You might be able to see what they checked or unchecked to export and see if you can replicate it on iPad. Sorry again I don't have a solid answer for you. All the best moving forward. If you ever have any other questions I'll try my best to help.
Its oscar from fn
thanks for the simple clear video. Question: How do you undo the erase in method 1?
You're welcome! For the first method using the pixel eraser, you can select the mask in the layers and simply delete. You can also right click, release, and then delete that layer. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
@@njvalenteart thank you for your reply, but I am wondering how to go back later to the mask and bring back only a little bit of something that was "erased" sort of like when you paint back to erase on a regular mask and white to bring back. thanks
@@rosebeane708 You can manipulate the mask by selecting the mask layer itself, switch to the paint brush tool and select white in the right menu, and draw over what you want to bring back. The brush you select for the paint brush tool will determine the effect you get, blended, vs. sharp edges. Hope that helps!
@@njvalenteart hi there, and thank you for your reply. I did try that and it did not work. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. This is with vector lines.
@@rosebeane708 Hmmm, interesting. Are you in the Pixel Persona? You can only edit the mask layer in Pixel Persona.
thanks
You bet!
my godness thank you
You bet! Thanks for watching!
You have good information to share, and you present it fairly well. If you don't mind, I have three suggestions to make your tutorials even better than they are: ►1. Use the LIGHT Mode for your interface. Yes, I realize it is "cool" and "modern" to use the dark mode, and most people use it because that's the default in Affinity and they want to be cool, too. But it is MUCH harder to see than the light mode, and thankfully, Affinity has provided us with the capability to change that. So you need to decide whether it is more important to you to look cool or to allow people to see what you're doing more clearly. ►2. NARRATE EVERY Keystroke and Button Click. In this video, you only narrate the keystrokes and button clicks you think are important, but you do a lot more inputs than you tell the viewers about. Whenever you do anything on the screen, you need to verbalize what you are doing. This will make your tutorials much easier to follow. Yes, it will be redundant at times, but if you do not do this, I guarantee you will leave some viewers scratching their heads, wondering what you did. ►3. ZOOM IN to the area of the screen where you are working. This is particularly important when you are doing something on one of the studios or control panels. You need to zoom in to have that work area fill the entire screen. This will make it much more apparent to your viewers exactly what you are doing and where you are doing it. I believe if you will make these three changes to your tutorials, you will increase their effectiveness by orders of magnitude. Thanks for providing these tutorials and keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching and thanks for your very thoughtful comment! This is one of my first videos, since I do use more narration for the keystrokes and zoom ins for important features. I am always trying to add more and find the right balance, so people can get the most out of the tutorials. I'll keep that in mind as far as light mode, for creating videos. I simply prefer the dark mode, it tends to be easier on my eyes for the hours I stare at the screen. Thank you very much again for your support, all the best!
Hi, Nick! I hope this comment finds you well in body, mind, and spirit. Cool video! I liked the black background with white lines, it looked great. I can't wait to see more of your work! Best Wishes, my Friend! Your Friend, Russ
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for watching and commenting! All the best my friend!
OMG Finally find the way thank you ! Subscribed
Yep you bet! And thanks!
I don't have a eraser tool
For one of the methods I show in the video, you have to be in the Pixel Persona, to be able to use the eraser tool. It is located on the top menu bar under File. It ends up creating a mask over the vector lines. The second method I share is how to cut the vector shape out permanently. I hope that helps, thanks for watching!
Thanks for this vid, theres not many like it.
You're welcome and thanks for watching! I have more like this planned, all the best!

Hi, Nick! I hope this comment finds you well in body, mind, and spirit. I'm sorry I missed the livestream, but I had to work on Sunday. Cool video!

Hey Russ, I'm doing well, and hope you are too! No worries, this was from a couple of months ago, I just uploaded it here. I like to do that so no one has to worry about missing a livestream. I appreciate that, its always fun seeing how I can push the various aspects. Thanks so much for watching and for all of your support!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
where did you get the assets do u use mouse or tablet to draw? and very nice work i wish i can be like you
They come with Affinity Designer and Photo if you register the software with Serif. You can go to Help, My Account and you should see them there. I use a tablet for the actual drawing but I use a mouse for the rest of the vector process. And thanks! You certainly can be, its just takes time and a lot of practice, but more so than that the passion to keep at it. Thanks for watching and commenting, you got this! All the best!
yes please do more of these
Will do, glad you liked it, and thanks for watching!
Loving all your tutorials, I’m new to AD and can’t wait to try everything out. Glad I came across your channel, clear and concise, very easy to understand, a no brainer to subscribe - thanks 😊
That's so great to hear, I'm glad you're enjoying them and thank you so much for your support, it means a lot!
Excellent demo. Could not find this stuff in AP, and lo and behold, they split it up and put it into Designer. So glad your video popped up in my YT menu. SUBSCRIBED and LIKED. Thanks for making this, looking forward to more of your videos.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful! Thanks for the support I really appreciate it!
In my user interface I can't disable it. Can you explained?
I think it is specific to Affinity Designer version 2, so it doesn't work with version 1, I don't believe. If you do have version 2 and the function is not available, you can reach out to Affinity directly. I hope you get it fixed, all the best!
Thank you! Thank you!
Youre welcome! Thanks for watching!
amazing, hope you make a reversed version and create a simple line art from any colored image
I'll have to look into that! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks
Great video, thanks
You're welcome, and thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot 🙏
You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful, and thanks for commenting!
Affinity has lost more sales and customer loyalty than they'll ever know, by not creating a proper vector eraser tool. It's seriously overdue. Workarounds mute an artist's creativity, by forcing them to drop focus on artistic vision, and instead, fill their brains with "how the blank do I do this?" Give an artist unintuitive tools, you get unimaginative art. And less of it. Thanks to NJValente for this workaround though. It's helped me keep what little sanity I have left :)
Hi man, do you work with a mouse or a tablet? I work with the Ipad version but I would like to switch to my pc with this xencelab pen tablet that I have for more extensive work but i'm too awkward with it, I don't know how to operate the app with it. I'm not talking about drawing, I'm talking about navigate through the app and change the settings of a curve or a layer for example. I did memorize the keyboard shortcut for the different tools but I still need the mouse to work in the different panels and the context menu. I kind of wish someone could teach me a process in wich I draw with the tablet and I operate the panels with keyboard shortcuts and the buttons of my pencil and never using the mouse again!
Hey. I use a stylus and tablet to do any actual sketching or drawing. Other than that I use a mouse for the entire vector portion of the illustration. I don't use the iPad version, so I don't have any real experience with it. It can take sometime getting a setup and into a rhythm that works best for you. If I am using my stylus I'll use it as a mouse for certain panel operations. Thanks for the comment, all the best!
Thank you for your work, a very helpful tutorial😃
You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful, and thank you so much for watching!
Hi, Nick! I hope your tooth feels better soon. Oher than the tooth, I hope this comment finds you well in body, mind, and spirit. my apologies for missing the livestream but I had a community meeting to go to. Cool video! My favorite parts were: warm-up exercises (one day I want to do some sketching at what I'm looking at through my telescope), the distinction between art and tool (the program), and the lighting and shadowing of the sphere. Picture and sound were good. Good job! Questions, comments, ideas, etc. are welcome. Best Wishes, my Friend! Your Friend, Russ
Hey Russ! Thanks I have an appointment soon at the very least. No worries I hope the meeting went well. I certainly appreciate that, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Hi, Nick! I hope this comment finds you well in body, mind, and spirit. Cool video! It was fun to watch. I wanted to catch the livestream (day gig) but I enjoyed the reply. I like the horse the best. I am starting to use Affinity Photo, so any tips I can get about working with Affinity programs are appreciated. A color management video sounds really cool as that would complement my black and white photography. I enjoyed your tips on the artistic process and just jumping in and doing it; I like your tangents. Bye the way, the reply was seamless with no reloading gaps. Questions, comments, ideas, etc. are welcome. Best Wishes, my Friend! Your Friend, Russ
I'm doing well, I hope you are too! Cool, thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I am currently streaming when I can, but I'm working on a schedule so hopefully that will help. And thank you for the feedback, I have gotten some interest in the new videos ideas I mentioned, so now its time to get to work and make them happen. I appreciate your support throughout the process, it definitely helps a ton. Perfect, maybe its an issue with my Twitch setup, but at least that narrows is down, thank you! All the best and talk soon!
I really like your plans for future videos. Watching you go through your work is very helpful. Learning the tools is relativly easy, but putting it all together to create actually decent art is what I find difficult. 👍
Thanks! And I'm really glad you enjoyed the stream. I certainly agree, and will definitely be sharing more of my process. Thank you for commenting!
What brushes do you use to sketch and what size
I use the Natural Pencil 4B found in the Pencils category under the Brushes tab. I have the size set to 32 px right now, with Opacity 100, Flow 40, and Hardness 100 as well. But you can adjust that to get the feel you like. Hope that helps, and thanks so much for watching!
@@njvalenteart Thanks!
Thanks!
You're welcome, and thank you for your support!
Hi, Nick! I hope this comment finds you well in body, mind, and spirit. Cool video, it was just as fun to watch again! I always like seeing how you work with shadows and layers. Questions, comments, ideas, etc. are welcome. Best Wishes, my Friend! Your Friend, Russ
Hey Russ! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your support! The shadows really help it stand out. All the best my friend!
I love this video. It's very useful to see the complete process from start to finish. I hope you do more of these 👍
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful. I will certainly be doing more of these. Thanks for watching and commenting, all the best!
Hi, Nick! I hope this comment finds you well in body, mind, and spirit. Cool video! I like seeing the process from sketch to final cartoon; I love watching you work. I'm especially fond of the zebra. I would love to see you draw the unofficial mascot of Tonopah, Goldfield, and Beatty (all in Nevada), the burro! The burro has a lot of significance with Tonopah as burros are related to the founding of Tonopah. Back in 1900, a parttime prospector named Jim Butler was making his way to a gold mining town called Klondike (there was a Klondike, Nevada) with his burros. He stopped for the night and in the morning his burros had wandered off (as they are wont to do). Angered, Jim threw a rock at one of his burros, Jenny. He noticed the rock was unusually heavy. The rock turned out to high grade silver ore. Within a year a tent town had sprung up that would later be Tonopah, the Queen of the Silver Camps. Questions, comments, ideas, etc. are welcome. Best Wishes, my Friend! Your Friend, Russ
Hey Russ, I'm doing well, I hope you are too! Thank you so much I really appreciate that! I liked the zebra quite a bit myself and always enjoy doing this type of work. What a cool story and neat background! Id love to visit Tonopah someday. And I may just have to do that for a video/stream. Thanks for the comment and history fact!
Hi, Nick! I hope this comment finds you well in body, mind, and spirit. Cool video! I like the way you made the sun rays and the way you used noise to give texture to the stand, good job! Questions, comments, ideas, etc. are welcome. Best Wishes, my Friend! Your Friend, Russ
Thanks a lot Russ, I hope youre doing well too! I appreciate your comment, its the little things like that I enjoy doing to give the image a little extra something.
Finally got into it and very much enjoyed it. I was barely finished when I started following your suggestion to add or make changes.
Thats great, glad you got to do a bit of your own thing. And thanks for your support!
Nice techniques and ideas. Thanks. Have you seen the roku wallpaper? It has some interesting effects with street lights. (Google for *roku wallpaper* , then select the image filter in your browser.)
