Hello Designers! and welcome to my Affinity Designer Tutorial - Create Custom Brushes
In todays tutorial you will learn how to create a range raster / pixel brushes in Affinity Designer 2. You will learn step by step the design workflow for creating:
Image brushes
Intensity brushes
Round brushes
Square brushes
Sub brushes
Base textures
I will try to make it as obvious as possible what the difference is between these brushes and why you might create one or the other.
We will make a fruit brush from a few images, a brush that looks like scales or feathers, a particle brush, an ink brush made from a photo of a real brush stroke, a hair brush for eyebrows, a brush to create grass or bushes, an audio wave brush, a confetti brush, and a brush that has a wall texture or pattern texture, and finally a brush that looks like a stack of papers.
As always I will include lots of Affinity tips and tricks. Each section is broken down into chapters.
