Hi Robert, Thanks. All vector programmes come across as massively complicated to me. Maybe I should look at doing a complete introduction to Vector drawing
I want to make layers to cut out on my cricut machine .. can I do the layers on This app? I had traced a sneaker on here on this app can I make a solid background on it ? Does this app have a WELD button also?? Thank u I hope u respond fast I neeed your help 🔥🙏🏻🔥😀🙂
Hi Cats, yes this app supports layers and you can make a solid background. By weld do you mean combine two shapes into one? If so yes. If it helps I have created files that I have sent to a sign maker to cut out and print stickers, lettering etc
@@SteveElliottArt by weld I mean like if I draw a circle , and now I am adding an additional line straight down the middle I want the end points to weld into the circle ...how do I do that?

Thank you for producing this vector tutorial, I really struggle with the pesky pen tool and find it counterintuitive for some one used to a handling a real or Apple Pencil in a Raster (pixel) app. So I will give the tracing some practice. The second method does look easier. When nesting one shape within another I find it easier to think of it as similar to applying a clipping mask in Procreate. Loved the look of your little speed drawn tractor it actually was probably not so speedy I suspect. for the actual outlines did you stick to the pen tool or use it in combination with the shape and draw tools? Good job Steve.
Hi Patricia, Thanks. I think the second method is easier for simple shapes, but with a bit of practice the first method will probably be quicker for complex shapes. You are right about the quick drawing at the end of the video, it wasn't so quick. I pretty much used the pen tool for the whole of the drawing. I tried the drawing tool a couple of times but gave up on it because I really wanted to illustrate the use of the pen tool

Hi Cats, yes you can use the geometry tool to add, subtract, intersect, divide or xor
Thanks!

Frank Walters is making a new Affinity Designer book. Should be good. His first wasn't the best, but his Affinity Photo Bible I is a best seller.
Hi CK1 thanks for the info, I'll check it out
@@SteveElliottArt it's not that good
Lump junk. How do you smooth out and make lines tangential?
Olivio sent me ... subbed ...
