Affinity Designer 2 iPad - How To Use The Stroke Studio
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Recently I got a request to film a tutorial on the stroke studio and editing the pressure curves of strokes. I finally found time to sit down and film it! It was a fun to film, and I hope it helps. I cover every single option in the Stroke studio as well as a handful of very useful drawing and editing tips. Enjoy!

One possible reason why the stroke/fill change where the front/back affect happens is that in printing, you need the fill to bleed into the stroke so if any misregistration in print occurs there’s an overlap to fix it so no white gap occurs. Ensure you select the stroke to “overprint”.
Thank you! I don't know what happened but I missed this comment completely! Thanks for watching my video and I'm sorry I couldn't respond right away!
Thanks for taking the time to go over this. Always learn new stuff. One idea you may wish to implement for showing the editing and changing abilities of the various strokes is to start with an existing graphic, try recreate it on screen from start to finish, and show how its strokes were made and applied. This will give a more visual and practical look at how the changes can affect the designs outcome in a visual way. Again, thanks.
Hey! Thanks for the thoughtful comments and for watching the video. Gosh, there’s so much I wanna do, but I’ve had to take a bit of a break these days due to work. Perhaps one day soon I can get back to making videos regularly! Thanks again! Cheers. 🍻
Another super informative tutorial. Many thanks.
Thanks! Yes, this is a topic that I’m very interested in. I think the guys over at Serif are doing and incredible job designing this app, but I still find myself wanting for more new features and improvements when it comes to line art and drawing tools. I feel they could easily take it much further, but are busy implementing improvements and changes to other workflows and use cases. One day, I hope they will really take the stroke studio, drawing tools, and brush options to the next level. So many features and options I would love to see.
Very helpful for me. Thanks!
I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to watch it!
Thanks so much for a great tutorial, I learned so much. I'm new to AD2 and I could follow what you were doing which was great, to be fair you didn't state if it was for beginners/intermediate but as a complete beginner it's a great video :)
Thank you for taking the time to watch it and for the kind words! Glad it was helpful!
Could you make a tutorial on modifying or customizing text with the drawing tools / shape tools? This was super helpful!
Great suggestion! - I've actually got something like that in the works! I will let you know when I get it up on the channel. Thanks for watching my video. ! 😄
@@FosterYourAffinity thanks so much! 🙂
thank you
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
I Loved this session! I have a question about the “expand stroke” option: Why does it appear to work only with solid brushes and not the texture intensity ones? Do you know why?
Elena I'm glad you enjoyed the video. About the expand stroke options; I don't know exactly why. I think it has something to do with the way solid brush strokes are generated. It seems to me that the calculation is based on circumference of the round vector object that is used to generate the stroke. Probably much easier to program that computation. The textured intensity brush strokes are not SVG objects but are PNG and JPEG. I don't think they've worked out how to trace those reliably. lol if they do then we'll probably get raster to vector trace options!! (the most requested feature by far)😆
@@FosterYourAffinity I see. Thank you for the quick answer. Now everything make sense. 🙏
Can you save stroke profiles in the Ipad version???
Found the answer at 33:10...thank you!!!😊😊😊
My number one requested feature. There's talk of an entirely redesigned storke studio/line drawing system possibly coming down the pike at some point. For now though, we have to use styles instead. Thanks for watching! 🍻
Hi I’m a newbie for Designer as mainly I use Procreate but now I need new app for vector. Just wonder if Designer have erase tool like when I want to erase just some little bit part? Also when I left the line I created and want to go back to adjust the nodes, how can I do it. I tried it but I couldn’t. Thank you for your tutorial, I’ve learnt a lot from you.
Yes and No. - In Designer, the method is as follows. Erasing in Designer isn't really erasing it's masking. - By default, if you switch to Pixel persona, choose the eraser tool, select the stroke you want to work on, and begin erasing the section of it you want removed, it doesn't actually alter the stroke, it masks it from view. You can also use the Knife tool to cut it if you wish. - If you wish to switch to the node tool to edit, you can simple select it from the tool bar (white arrow) or you can hold down two fingers to select the previously drawn curve and enter into edit mode temporarily. It's like working with the node tool without actually switching over to the tool.
I hope this helps! Thank you for watching my video and for the kind words!
@@FosterYourAffinity Thank you so much. It's so much helpful. New subscribe from me. I'll keep watching your tutorial about Designers.
@@umakijsamrit89 Thank you so much!
Curious why would we ever want the mitre limit to be set low? Just to limit ourselves if we're only working in 90 degree angles or something? I feel like I would just leave that all the way up all the time 😅😅
Hey thanks for watching! Yes, I agree it seems like it would make sense to just leave it set high. I imagine there are probably plenty of situations where the super sharp point might actually get in the way somehow. I'm not really sure to be honest! I think it all depends on the use case. Maybe in some technical drawing its better to have the setting low so that a corner doesn't overlap intersecting lines? 🤔🤓😂
Question if you don't mind helping me out with brush strokes.(affinity photo)
For context i have a touch screen laptop. When i switch from using the scroll pad to the touchscreen the opacity drastically lightens even though it's the same number and size and brush. Kind of a hassle just editing from the scroll pad😂
Any advice on what I'm doing wrong or how i can fix it?
Hey! Thanks for watching the video and for the interesting question! - Well, I can't be sure about it, but you see. with the scroll pad, there may be some data input that is having an effect on the opacity. I can't be sure what the problem is there, but you might try checking the brush you are using to see if you have linked the opacity to the pressure. That might be adding anunwanted element to the equation. Also, you might try just turning the controller of the brush from pressure to none. - You won't be able to draw with pressure from your stylus (if you are using one) but it might mitigate the problem as well. - You can preset the desired pressure in the stroke studio pressure window. - I wish I could offer more, but I don't have any experience with touchscreen laptops! I'm not quite sure what they are capable of. I use a Huion drawing tablet for my desktop application, and of course my iPad has the apple pencil. - Let me know if these solutions help! Take care, and thanks again!
thanks this is helpful for some things, but please for the love of gloyd get a cursor. that blue dot that jumps around the screen is impossible to follow, and you’re using buttons without explaining what they are or what they do.
this is still more useful than not, but my poor eyes can’t followwww
Hey! Thanks for watching my video and for the feedback. Actually, I've moved on from iPad for the time being so yeah most of my videos use mouse cursor. Unfortunately though, I've been very busy with business and haven't made videos in quite some time. However, I agree with you. The blue dot is a bit hard to follow. Thanks for taking the time to comment! Best of luck to you!
